The Regional Inventory Specialist (RIS) supports a market or region by executing operational tasks to positively influence inventory availability for our customers, as well as inventory turns for the business. The RIS reports to the Senior Regional Inventory Manager and partners closely with branch resources in the region they support. In addition to daily tasks, the RIS delivers year‑round training to branch associates and reinforces concepts on inventory planning and replenishment to make branch teams more efficient and successful in serving end customers.

The RIS must demonstrate exceptional customer service, analytical, communication, and organizational skills. Finally, the RIS serves as the point of contact for the region they support, ensuring inventory parameters are properly maintained and reviewed on a regular cadence.
