Inventory Manager

DUDE Products is on a mission to keep dudes clean, fresh, and fully stocked, and that mission depends on rock-solid operations. We're looking for a Warehouse & Inventory Lead to be our on-the-ground presence embedded within the Throne Room (our new dedicated warehouse in NWA), serving as the primary point of contact between DUDE and our warehouse.

You’ll make sure inventory is accurate, items are set up right in Net Suite, inbound loads run smoothly, and when issues surface, you’re already on it!

You keep DUDEs source of truth accurate for what’s in the building, on a daily, monthly, and quarterly basis.

• Confirm inbound receipts are accurate and accounted for on every load
• Investigate and resolve item fulfillment discrepancies so quantities always match what's expected
• Execute inventory adjustments with clean documentation and root cause notes—every time
• Own daily inventory hygiene:
  Reconcile for 3PL cycle counts and produce variance reporting
• Lead monthly close inventory reconciliation with the 3PL and Finance
• Drive quarterly Physical Inventory (PI) counts with 3PL and Finance
• Maintain inventory accuracy metrics and proactively flag risks before they become problems
• Be the point person for exceptions, helping troubleshoot, and fixing the root cause

* Note:

main efforts will be in the Throne Room, but we will maintain ownership across our network for inventory accuracy and variance reporting.

New items, new displays, new case pack configurations—you make sure they’re set up correctly before they ever hit the floor.

• Create and maintain item records in Net Suite for new commercialization items and displays
• Process case pack changes and ensure BOMs, units of measure, and pricing tiers are accurate
• Coordinate with product management on new item timelines to ensure Net Suite setup is complete
• Audit existing item records for accuracy and flag any discrepancies to the Operations team
• Partner with Finance and Planning on item cost updates and effective dating

You make sure everything that’s supposed to show up does—on time, unloaded fast, and properly received.

• Coordinate with carriers, freight brokers, and the 3PL to ensure inbound loads are scheduled and confirmed on time for the times requested
• Proactively communicate delays or conflicts
• Manage the drop trailer pool to prevent detention charges and ensure things are moving to plan Solve escalated receiving exceptions, short shipments, and OS&D claims immediately
• Coordinate kitting and assembly projects with 3PL: align on BOMs, component availability, scheduling, and quality expectations
• Track kitting execution against timelines and flag capacity or material risks early
• Ensure completed kits are received into Net Suite accurately, and inventory reflects finished goods on hand

• 3-7 years of experience in warehouse operations, 3PL coordination, or supply chain roles
• Hands‑on experience with Net Suite or a comparable ERP system—item setup and inventory transactions are not new to you
• Solid understanding of WMS platforms, inventory control best practices, and cycle counting procedures
• Experience managing inbound freight, drop trailers, and carrier coordination
• Detail‑oriented with an obsession for accuracy—you double‑check your work and then check it again
• Strong communicator who can interface with 3PL partners, carriers, and internal teams without drama
• Comfortable working on‑site at a 3PL warehouse in a fast‑paced, physical environment
• Bonus points:
  
  CPG or consumer goods experience, familiarity with Bentonville‑area logistics networks

• You don’t wait to be asked—if inventory is off, you’re already digging into it
• You’re the person the warehouse trusts and the one HQ relies on for ground truth
• You treat the Throne Room like your own house—nothing leaves or lands without your knowledge
• You’re organized, proactive, and never let a load sit unresolved
• You thrive in a scrappy, high‑growth environment where no two days are the same
