• Process, document, and track inventory adjustments per policy; ensure approvals, audit trails, and supporting evidence are complete.
• Provide clear, professional communication to customers and internal stakeholders when inventory counts vary from system records; share variance details, actions taken, and status of resolution.
• Generate and distribute inventory accuracy metrics and variance reporting; identify trends and recommend process improvements.
• Assist with maintaining inventory control SOPs and training materials; reinforce best practices for scanning, moves, and location control.
• Follow all safety, quality, and housekeeping standards; operate material handling equipment as required/authorized. Qualifications

• Ability to communicate effectively with internal teams and external customers regarding inventory status and variances.
