What we need The Warehouse Optimization Manager is responsible for accurately placing and organizing inventory within the warehouse storage systems. As a key member of the Perris, CA site operations team, you will help establish inventory (slotting) procedures and best practices for future sites. This includes following slotting plans, optimizing storage locations, adjusting slot assignments as needed, assisting in WMS configurations, and ensuring products are easily accessible for receiving, putaway, picking, shipping and all fulfilment operations.

The role will work closely with inventory control, warehouse operations, WMS integrators, and automation system teams and planners.

Communicate collaborative item moves (cases, pallets, containers) to the operations team to their assigned slot locations with ops leadership. Update inventory management/warehouse management system (WMS) or automation software with slotting data — confirm that items are in correct locations and reflects that in the proper systems. Optimize slot and technology locations by product velocity, size/weight, packaging type, pick frequency, customer needs and safety considerations.

Evaluate workflow, in coordination with picking/fulfillment teams, ensuring slot locations support efficient picking operations.

Adhere to safety, quality and performance standards — including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), safe forklift operation (if applicable), and compliance with company policies.
