• Ensure consistent execution of inventory control SOPs, controls, and best practices across all warehouse sites.
• Provide training and development to strengthen cross‑functional understanding of inventory processes and compliance expectations.

Inventory Accuracy & Operational Controls

• Own all inventory control activities for our 3PL locations in California, U.S.
• Oversee cycle counting, reconciliation, variance analysis, adjustments, and issue resolution.
• Maintain and enhance internal controls aligned with SOX requirements, including documentation standards, approval workflows, segregation of duties, and audit evidence retention.
• Monitor inbound/outbound transactions, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and timely posting.
• Serve as business lead for inventory‑related Oracle issues, including raising and tracking escalation tickets.

SOX Compliance & Audit Support

• Ensure execution of SOX key controls related to inventory, including cycle count controls, transaction review, exception reporting, and month‑end validation procedures.
• Maintain audit‑ready documentation for all required controls.
• Support Internal Audit, External Audit, and SOX testing teams by preparing samples, documentation, walkthroughs, and explanations of control design and process flow.
• Strengthen process governance by identifying control gaps and recommending remediation or preventive actions.

3PL & Warehouse Management

• Partner with 3PL operators to ensure accuracy of receipts, picks, adjustments, damages, returns, and scrap transactions.
• Validate and approve inventory adjustments and investigate discrepancies.
• Monitor 3PL operational discipline to ensure compliance with SOPs, SLAs, and controls.
• Support regular business reviews and drive accountability for inventory performance and KPIs.

Systems, Reporting & Analytics

• Review daily and weekly inventory reports including transactional exceptions, negative balances, cost discrepancies, and reconciliation files.
• Drive timely corrective actions to prevent downstream financial impacts.
• Maintain data integrity across ERP and WMS systems, ensuring alignment with SOX and audit requirements.
• Prepare weekly, monthly, and quarterly inventory performance metrics and dashboards using Oracle, Power BI, and other reporting tools.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with Finance, Demand Planning, Logistics, Operations, and Customer Service to resolve issues and support business priorities.
• Provide subject‑matter expertise during system upgrades, process redesigns, and new business initiatives.
• Support operational readiness for new product launches, network changes, and 3PL transitions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Business, or a related field (preferred).
• 5+ years of experience in inventory control, supply chain operations, or warehouse management in a multi‑site environment.
• Prior experience managing direct reports in a performance‑driven environment.
• Strong proficiency with ERP and WMS platforms (Oracle, SAP, Manhattan, or comparable systems).
• Working knowledge of SOX requirements and inventory‑related key controls; experience supporting SOX audits is a strong asset.
• Strong understanding of reporting tools such as Power BI.
• Proven analytical skills with exceptional attention to detail and accuracy.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills within cross‑functional and external‑partner environments (English and French).
• Ability to manage competing priorities within a hybrid work model.
