Specialist, Inventory Exceptions

Arhaus was founded in 1986 on a simple idea:
Furniture and décor should be sustainably sourced, lovingly made, and built to last. Today, we partner with artisans around the world who share our vision, creating beautiful, heirloom-quality pieces that can be used—and loved—for generations.

The Inventory Exceptions Specialist will exhibit customer delivery exceptions with an urgency based in accuracy, to account for and solve any inventory discrepancies pre or post delivery that could potentially negatively impact the customer experience. This ranges from coordinating with our 3PL delivery providers across the country to ensure they have accurate inventory to fulfill our customer's delivery needs, as well as accounting for any reverse logistics exceptions that may occur, and again ensuring the customer experience is positive!

The Inventory Exceptions Specialist will also have a deep involvement with understanding and reviewing the multi-system transactions that occur throughout the lifespan of an order, and how to cross-functionally address variances to solve for our customers' account accuracy as well as our inventory on hand accuracy.

The ideal candidate demonstrates consistent problem-solving judgement, strong analytical skills, and an eagerness and willingness to constantly improve. The Inventory Exceptions Specialist will work out of the Arhaus Boston Heights Corporate Campus main building, and will be an integral part to being the best logistics team in retail!
