Обязанности

Create, maintain, and improve recurring inventory reports, dashboards, and scorecards that measure inventory accuracy, cycle count completion, variance trends, exception aging, transaction timing, inventory movement posting discipline, and location-level discrepancies.
Analyze inventory data across multiple sites and partner nodes to identify physical-to-system mismatches, root causes, recurring process gaps, and areas of financial or operational exposure.
Support cycle count planning and execution, including count schedules, count readiness, discrepancy tracking, recount coordination, variance validation, and closure reporting.
Monitor cycle count adherence by site and inventory category, ensuring high-priority materials are counted on the required cadence and variances are investigated, documented, and closed timely.
Partner with Inventory, Logistics, Warehouse, Manufacturing, Finance, Supply Chain, Contract Manufacturers, and 3PL teams to investigate discrepancies and drive corrective actions to completion.
Collaborate closely and effectively with internal and external partner teams, using clear communication, professional judgment, and structured follow-up to resolve issues, align priorities, and address conflicts in a respectful and productive manner.
Monitor high-value and high-risk inventory, including A/B class items, serialized material, RMA inventory, MRB, scrap, consigned inventory, in-transit material, and partner-held stock.
Reconcile inventory balances between ERP, WMS, partner reports, physical counts, transfer records, receiving records, and shipment evidence.
Track open exceptions such as aged transfer orders, pending receipts, unresolved count variances, unposted movements, duplicate receipts, inventory holds, RMA activity, scrap, unbuild activity, and aging inventory requiring disposition.
Develop actionable reporting that helps leadership prioritize risk, improve controls, reduce manual reconciliation, and make informed operational decisions.
Build reporting that separates operational accuracy from financial exposure, allowing leadership to see unit, location, transaction, and aging risks without displaying confidential inventory value.
Support inventory control best practices, including ABC categorization, risk-based count prioritization, location-level accuracy reporting, reason-code discipline, transaction cutoffs, blind counts, segregation of duties, audit-ready evidence retention, and clear exception ownership.
Assist with month-end, quarter-end, and year-end inventory readiness by identifying open issues, reporting financial exposure, and ensuring timely follow-up on required actions.
Maintain audit-ready documentation for custody, receipts, counts, adjustments, approvals, root-cause decisions, and corrective actions to support operational controls and compliance readiness.
Identify, create, govern, and iterate inventory control processes as business needs, site requirements, reporting maturity, and operational complexity evolve in a fast and quickly changing environment.

The Inventory Analyst is responsible for using data, reporting, and operational analysis to improve inventory accuracy across internal warehouses, manufacturing sites, contract manufacturers, third-party logistics providers, and other partner locations. This role owns recurring inventory reporting, identifies discrepancies and trends, supports cycle count execution, and partners cross-functionally to close the physical-to-system lag, prevent recurring variances, and reduce inventory loss, write-offs, and operational risk .
The ideal candidate has experience in a complex, fast-paced manufacturing, logistics, or supply chain environment and understands how physical inventory movement, system transactions, and financial controls must stay aligned. This person must be highly analytical, detail-oriented, self-directed, and able to collaborate effectively with partner teams, resolve conflicts professionally, and drive outcomes without direct authority.
Cycle Count Completion Target: 99%+ completion on time, by site, category, and count schedule.
Inventory Record Accuracy Target: 99%+ accuracy, measured by unit, location, item-level variance, transaction integrity, and count-to-system alignment.
High-Value Inventory Coverage Target: 100% of high-priority, high-risk, or A/B inventory counted on the required cadence, without disclosing confidential inventory values.
Adjustment and Write-Off Reduction Target: Minimize inventory loss, write-offs, avoidable adjustments, and recurring variance exposure.
Exception Aging Target: Reduce aged transfer orders, pending receipts, unresolved variances, inventory holds, reconciliation defects, and open exception queues.
Transaction Timeliness Target: Support same-day or 24-hour posting discipline for physical inventory movements, where applicable.

Use standardized reason codes and supporting evidence for adjustments, scrap, write-offs, inventory holds, and other inventory-impacting transactions.
Promote clean transaction timing by aligning physical movement, ERP/WMS updates, and supporting documentation.
Support audit readiness through complete count records, approval evidence, reconciliation support, and clear documentation of variance decisions.
Collaborate with internal and external partners to improve reporting cadence, reduce manual work, and create repeatable inventory control processes.
