You will gain valuable experience in inventory management, logistics operations, warranty administration, and data‑bearing device destruction while building a career within Microsoft’s global cloud infrastructure business.

• Conduct cycle counts, audits, inventory reconciliation, and discrepancy reporting.
• Ensure proper inventory tracking, staging, and stock management practices.
• Perform secure destruction of data‑bearing devices in accordance with Microsoft policies and service level requirements.
• Monitor stock levels and notify management of shortages or replenishment needs.
• Coordinate security escorts for vendors and third‑party service providers when required.
• Follow security, compliance, and data management policies at all times.
• Apply sound judgement and complete work effectively with minimal supervision.
• Embody Microsoft’s culture and values in daily operations.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

• High School Diploma or equivalent with experience in warehouse operations, supply chain, inventory management, logistics, retail, IT environments, or a related field.
• Equivalent practical experience will also be considered.
• Valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel between sites when required.

• Successful completion of the Microsoft Cloud Background Check upon hire or transfer and every two years thereafter.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in warehousing, logistics, inventory management, or supply chain operations within an IT or technology environment.
• Experience operating material‑handling equipment such as forklifts, pallet jacks, chassis lifts, or similar equipment.
• Strong attention to detail and experience maintaining inventory accuracy in large‑scale operational environments.
