- Research, reconcile, and process exception orders, receipts, and returns in the WMS, databases, and reporting tools.
- Maintain pick-exception logs and report on order-fulfillment performance.
- Collect and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs)—including inventory shrink, picking accuracy, and cycle-count variance.
- Develop actionable reports and dashboards to highlight trends, drive process improvements, and mitigate risk.
- Mentor new and existing team members on WMS best practices, inventory controls, and safety procedures.

Requirements:
- Minimum of 2 years’ experience in a transaction-intensive warehouse or distribution center environment, using WMS/inventory-management systems.

- Strong analytical mindset: able to sort numerical data, recognize trends, and recommend corrective actions.
- Demonstrated leadership and coaching skills; comfortable training peers and guiding process improvements.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; able to escalate issues and collaborate at all organizational levels.
- Detail-oriented with a commitment to accuracy, confidentiality, and data integrity.
- Able to lift and transport up to 50 lbs., stand or remain stationary for extended periods, and adapt to changing workloads.
- High school diploma or equivalent required; associate’s degree or relevant certification (e.g., CPIM, Six Sigma) preferred.
Benefits:
- Career Growth: Structured development plans, tuition reimbursement, and clear pathways to supervisory and management roles.
- Culture & Inclusion: Employee resource groups, mentorship programs, and a commitment to diversity.
- Comprehensive Benefits: Competitive pay, health/dental/vision plans, 401(k) match, paid time off, and wellness initiatives.
