Job Description

We're seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Inventory Associate to support one of our divisions-Apparel, Home, or Hardgoods. This is a desk-based role that plays an instrumental part in our supply chain operations, focused on managing inventory and supporting purchasing decisions. It is not a warehousing or physical labor position, but rather a collaborative role within a fast-paced office environment.

* Assisting in the development of buying plans and tracking performance against financial objectives
* Maintaining system data integrity to ensure best data is available for critical decision-making
* Promoting and fostering valuable communications and relationships within the department, between departments, and external partners
* Researching and resolving issues related to products, suppliers, and customer service

Qualifications

We're looking for someone with strong communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and a proactive approach to problem-solving. While an Associate degree in Global Supply Chain Logistics, Business, or a related discipline is preferred, we value hands-on experience and demonstrated capabilities.

Additional qualifications include:
* Experience in inventory management and purchasing is a plus
* Demonstrated ability to work effectively with external vendors and internal teams
* Hands-on data analysis experience, with the ability to interpret and act on insights
* Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including pivot tables, formulas and data visualization
