INTERNAL - DC and Warehouse Inventory Specialist

Green Bay, WI
Full Time
Entry Level
Hours: Monday - Friday: 8am - 4pm

We are seeking a motivated, detail-oriented DC/WH Inventory Specialist to take ownership of cycle counting and inventory reconciliation across our Distribution Center and Warehouse operations. This hourly lead role acts as the first point of contact for day-to-day inventory count activities — organizing and prioritizing count schedules, guiding and training fellow associates in proper counting and reconciliation procedures, and driving inventory accuracy in partnership with the Distribution & Warehouse Leadership.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on subject matter expert (SME) in our SAP/SAP EWM systems who is comfortable both performing counts personally and coordinating the work of others. This role combines floor-level warehouse operations with analytical inventory management, and serves as a key liaison across Manufacturing, Warehouse/Distribution, Production Planning, Quality, and Finance teams.

This is a working lead position. The Lead directs daily count activity, training, and workflow for hourly associates but does not have formal supervisory authority (e.g., hiring, termination, formal discipline, or performance reviews), which remains with the Sr. Mgr. Distribution & Warehouse.

Team Leadership & Coordination

  • Serve as the go-to resource and first-line point of escalation for cycle count and inventory questions from warehouse associates
  • Train new and existing associates on proper cycle counting, reconciliation, and SAP/SAP EWM transaction procedures
  • Review and spot-check counts completed by other associates to confirm accuracy and adherence to procedure before sign-off
  • Track count completion status and communicate progress, roadblocks, and staffing needs to the Supervisor/Manager
  • Help onboard new hires and cross-train associates to build a flexible, capable inventory count team
Cycle Counting & Inventory Reconciliation
  • Lead and personally perform regular cycle counts, physical inventories, and reconciliation of inventory discrepancies
  • Monitor and maintain accurate inventory records in the Warehouse Management System (SAP EWM) and SAP
  • Investigate inventory variances, identify root causes, and implement or recommend corrective actions
  • Monitor consumption zone inventories, perform physical counts, and reconcile system-to-floor inventory
  • Coordinate and lead cycle counts with warehouse personnel for coating materials, seals, desiccants, and other components
Inventory Analysis & Reporting
  • Generate and analyze inventory reports to identify trends, discrepancies, and opportunities for improvement
  • Monitor Days on Hand daily to help reduce backorders and improve Fill Rate
  • Prepare and review the Open Order Report daily, where applicable
  • Support projected out-of-stock analysis and reporting
  • Support FIFO movement of materials via expiry reports, partnering with the Production Planning team to reduce future write-offs
Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Coordinate with Receiving, Shipping, and Production teams to ensure inventory accuracy
  • Collaborate with QA and process disposal notifications for damaged, expired, or discontinued materials
  • Act as a liaison between Manufacturing/Packaging, Warehouse/Distribution, Production Planning, Quality, and Finance
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to drive supply chain initiatives and continuous process improvement
Warehouse/Distribution Operations
  • Operate forklifts and other material handling equipment safely and efficiently
  • Travel between and support cycle count operations at multiple warehouse/distribution sites as needed
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment in compliance with company policies

Required Qualifications
