• Maintain accurate purchasing and inventory information within internal systems.

• Partner with warehouse and accounting teams to resolve receiving, inventory, or invoice discrepancies.

Qualifications

• 1-3+ years of experience in inventory planning, forecasting, replenishment, purchasing, procurement, or supply chain.

• Experience forecasting inventory needs and managing purchase orders.

• Proactive and able to independently follow up with vendors and internal teams.

Preferred Skills

• Experience in retail, consumer products, e-commerce, wholesale, or another inventory-driven business.

• Familiarity with international shipping and freight, including basic knowledge of LCL and FCL shipments.

• Experience working with international suppliers, particularly in China or Europe.
