Inventory Manager

Operations here are good; we hired an Inventory Manager because good is a starting line, and Material Requirements Planning is how we cross the next one. Few business roles let you own the whole thing end to end; this manager one in Duluth does, and it pays $83,000 - $123,000.

• Build the 7-quarter view that survives contact with reality
• Set the targets Duluth, MN teams are measured against and make them fair
• Wire up dashboards so Duluth managers stop asking you for the same numbers

• Champion process improvements that scale with Data Wave Corp growth
• Lead due diligence on acquisition and investment opportunities
• Hold the line on scope when a business project starts sprawling

• A point of view, held loosely and defended well
• Comfort defending a recommendation in front of skeptics
• Comfort with a Data Wave Corp pace that rarely sits still
• Solid CILT grounding, plus Category Management you can pick up on the fly
• The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
• Solid understanding of business best practices and industry standards
• Willingness to relocate to Duluth, MN, or to make remote work
