• Location: New York, NY Store
• Position Type: Full-Time, On-Site

Join Our Team at ABC Carpet & Home's Flagship - New York, NY Store

• ABC Carpet & Home is seeking a dynamic Inventory Control Analyst to join our team at our New York, NY location.

ABC Carpet & Home 's Mission:

Known as the most iconic Home Design destination, our mission is to bring our magic and colorful vision to the world through a unique and unparalleled curation of rugs, furniture and décor.

ABC Carpet & Home is a 150+ year old privately and family-owned company with an entrepreneurial culture.

The Opportunity:

The Inventory Control Analyst is responsible for maintaining the accuracy and integrity of inventory across our retail, warehouse, e-commerce, and vendor-fulfilled operations.

Reporting to the Director of Inventory & Merchandise Planning, this role will focus on transaction-level auditing, inventory reconciliation, exception management, and discrepancy investigation. This is a hands-on, highly detail-oriented role for someone who enjoys investigative work, identifying inconsistencies, and following issues through to resolution.

Key Responsibilities:

• Audit inventory transactions, including receipts, transfers, shipments, returns, cancellations, and inventory adjustments.
• Identify and investigate inventory discrepancies by tracing transaction history across multiple systems and operational touchpoints.
• Reconcile system and physical inventory and research variances from cycle counts and physical inventories.
• Monitor inventory exceptions, including negative inventory, unusual adjustments, missing or duplicate transactions, and other data integrity issues.
• Partner with stores, warehouse, operations, accounting, and other teams to research and resolve inventory issues.
• Maintain clear documentation of inventory corrections and recurring discrepancies.
• Identify patterns and root causes of inventory errors and elevate opportunities for process improvement.
• Support inventory reporting, physical inventories, and ad hoc analysis as needed.

Qualifications:

• 2-4 years of experience in inventory control, retail operations, supply chain, accounting operations, or another detail-oriented analytical role.
• Exceptional attention to detail and strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Comfortable working with large datasets, spreadsheets, and transaction-level information.
• Naturally curious and persistent, with the ability to investigate discrepancies through resolution.
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple priorities and maintain accurate documentation.
• Comfortable learning and working across multiple business systems.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across departments.
• Experience with retail inventory, POS, ERP, WMS, OMS, or e-commerce platforms is preferred.
• Advanced Excel skills are a plus but not required.

What Success Looks Like:

The successful Inventory Control Analyst takes ownership of inventory accuracy, catches issues others may overlook, and is not satisfied simply knowing that something is wrong - they want to understand why.

Over time, this role will become a trusted resource for identifying discrepancies, resolving transactional issues, and helping improve the processes that keep inventory accurate.
