The Inventory Control Lead supports accurate, efficient, and reliable management of warehouse inventory across multiple brands. This role focuses on daily cycle counts, discrepancy resolution, receiving verification, and flagging issues to management to help maintain a high standard of accuracy across all brands and storage locations.

• Perform bin accuracy checks and resolve discrepancies such as lost items, shorts, over-picks, and mismatches as they happen in real time.
• Execute daily cycle counts and conduct recounts when required.
• Review and resolve virtual staging bin discrepancies within the warehouse management system, including inventory that may be stranded in non-physical holding locations.
• Document root causes for inventory adjustments, errors, and exceptions.
• Process inventory adjustments using proper adjustment codes to ensure accurate bookkeeping.
• Support receiving by verifying inbound shipment counts and assisting with PO receiving from containers and air shipments.

Flag and elevate misrouted shipments immediately.
• At receiving, verify country-of-origin labels on items that carry multiple country-of-origin variants. Confirm the correct item barcode is being scanned at the pack station. Flag label discrepancies to management same day.

• Flag planogram discrepancies to management as SKUs shift, new issues arise, or volume changes occur.
• Communicate findings and notable issues to management.

• Perform scheduled cycle count batches according to the audit calendar.
• Investigate customer mis-ship complaints by reviewing affected SKUs and documenting root causes. Report findings to management.
• Identify discrepancies and note repeat offenders such as specific SKUs, bins, or processes. Report patterns to management.
• Flag replenishment bin min/max settings that appear obviously out of range to management for review.
• Meet with management to review weekly shrink findings and open issues.

• Conduct assigned audits across warehouse aisles, zones, or departments. Audits must distinguish between active pick bins and reserve storage positions, as these operate under different replenishment rules.
• Assist with planogram updates for all brands as directed by management, including bin-level pick storage areas and floor-level and elevated rack overflow positions.
• Compile shrink data and document patterns for management review.
• Reconcile variances found on cycle count reports.
• Follow SOPs and flag needed changes to management as new issues or process changes arise.
