• Present reports, insights, and recommendations to the leadership in a clear and actionable way
• Document SOPs, workflows, and systems for velocity management, liquidation, and continuous improvement

Growth Opportunities / Perks

• Competitive annual salary
• Fully remote role
• Significant opportunity for growth within the organization
• Work directly with the Supply Chain Director and marketing leadership to build scalable inventory processes
