Inventory Control Lead

Responsibilities

Inventory Management & Control

• Own and execute a consistent cycle counting program across all material categories
• Develop a deep understanding of consumption data and lead times for all parts, and use that knowledge to drive proactive inventory decisions
• Build and maintain min/max thresholds with auto replenishment logic to ensure stock levels are always aligned with operational demand
• Identify aging and slow-moving material; implement and enforce FIFO systems to reduce waste and improve material flow
• Anticipate inventory risks — both depletion and overstock — and develop mitigation strategies before they impact operations
• Maintain accurate inventory records across WMS and IMS systems; investigate and resolve discrepancies

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Work closely with operations to understand consumption rates, demand variability, and upcoming material needs
• Partner with warehousing teams to ensure inventory positioning and storage practices support efficient material flow
• Collaborate with procurement and logistics teams on replenishment timing, lead time management, and supplier coordination
• Communicate inventory status, risks, and recommendations clearly to stakeholders across operations and supply chain leadership

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in inventory control, warehouse operations, or supply chain, with hands-on ownership of inventory management processes
• Deep working knowledge of min/max, FIFO, consumption-based replenishment, and auto replenishment systems
• Demonstrated ability to anticipate inventory risk and implement proactive controls — not just reactive fixes
• Experience working across operations and warehousing teams to align on inventory needs
• Comfortable managing multiple workstreams simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
• Strong attention to detail and high standards for data accuracy

Preferred

• Experience building inventory control programs from scratch — min/max frameworks, cycle count standards, FIFO systems
• Background at a company with a high-performance inventory or supply chain function
• Familiarity with WMS platforms and how inventory data flows between systems
• First principles mentality — able to design better processes rather than just inherit existing ones
