Inventory Control Specialist – Lot Traceability

Inventory Control Specialist – Lot Traceability Job Description

Traceability only works if the inventory record is right. As Inventory Control Specialist, you own the accuracy of our component and finished-goods inventory from the moment a pallet hits receiving to the moment a kit ships.

You’ll inspect and receive incoming materials against purchase orders and certificates of analysis, record lot numbers and expiration dates, and place materials into the correct storage conditions – ambient, refrigerated, or frozen. You’ll run cycle counts, investigate and resolve discrepancies, manage FEFO rotation so nothing expires on the shelf, and control quarantine and released material segregation so nonconforming stock never reaches a build.

You’ll also flag low-stock and expiring materials before they become a production stoppage, and support quality during audits by pulling the records that connect a shipped kit back to every component lot inside it.

This role rewards people who are systematic and don’t leave loose ends. You should be comfortable in a warehouse environment, confident with inventory software and spreadsheets, and rigorous about the difference between what the system says and what’s actually on the shelf.

Required qualifications:

• High school diploma or GED; associate degree a plus
• 2+ years of inventory, warehouse, or materials management experience
• Experience with lot-controlled or serialized inventory
• Proficiency with inventory management systems, barcode scanning, and spreadsheets
• Strong numerical accuracy and comfort performing and reconciling cycle counts
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and operate material handling equipment
• Willingness to work in refrigerated and frozen storage areas as needed

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience in a medical device, diagnostics, or pharmaceutical distribution environment
• Familiarity with FEFO/FIFO rotation and expiration-dated stock control
• Understanding of quarantine, hold, and material release processes under a quality system
