Inventory Accuracy & Reconciliation Analyst

Guard the truth of our numbers. In this role, you ensure inventory in our warehouse and production areas matches what the system says—every day. You’ll blend hands-on actions (cycle counts, location checks, material verification, receiving inspections) with analytical work (transaction validation, ERP/WMS reviews, and reconciling production output to receipts). When something doesn’t add up, you’ll dig in, pinpoint causes, and implement fixes—especially for high-value and critical materials—while partnering closely with operations and production to strengthen our processes.

A day in this role

You start by reviewing inventory health dashboards and discrepancy reports. A spot check on high-value SKUs leads into targeted cycle counts and bin audits. A delivery arrives—you receive, inspect, and verify materials and documentation. After lunch, you reconcile the day’s production activity, validating reported output against actual receipts and tracing any missing or incorrect transactions. You close the day by publishing accuracy metrics and aligning next steps with cross-functional partners, leaving storage areas organized, clean, and compliant.
