• Keep inspection checklists and procedures up to date
• Help Customer Care look into quality complaints from customers

What Success Looks Like

• Warehouse leadership trusts your judgment on quality calls
• Bad inventory gets caught before it reaches a customer
• Vendors improve because of the issues you flag

Requirements

• 3+ years in quality control, inspection, or QA — furniture or other manufactured goods a plus

• Solid knowledge of furniture materials, construction, and common defects
• Sharp eye for detail, even at high volume
• Comfortable learning basic inventory software (we'll train you on ours)
