We are looking for a detail-oriented Credit Clerk to join a distribution operation in South San Francisco, California. This contract position with the potential to become permanent plays an important role in supporting accurate credit processing, inventory integrity, and reporting within a fast-paced warehouse environment. The ideal candidate brings strong follow-through, sound judgment, and the ability to work across teams to resolve discrepancies efficiently while maintaining compliance with food safety and operational standards.

How you will contribute:

Evaluate customer credit submissions, verify supporting information, and complete credit processing accurately.

Collaborate with warehouse staff, drivers, quality teams, and customer support representatives to research claims, resolve discrepancies, and ensure timely issue resolution.

Maintain organized transaction records in both digital and paper files, including photos, bills of lading, return documents, and other supporting materials.

Perform cycle counts and assist with monthly, quarterly, and annual physical inventory counts.

Analyze inventory variances, identify root causes related to receiving, picking, stock rotation, or product damage, and enter accurate adjustments into the warehouse management system.

Monitor aging inventory and expiration dates to help reduce shrinkage and unnecessary product loss.

Prepare regular reports on credit activity, inventory accuracy, and loss trends to support process improvements.

Support warehouse compliance by following sanitation and operational procedures while reinforcing inventory control best practices.
