About the role

We're hiring an Inventory / Supply Chain Manager to take ownership of inventory accuracy, rotation discipline, and the overall flow of merchandise through our warehouse.

This is a hands-on, floor-present leadership role. If you've reduced shrink and dumping in a perishables operation before — and you can prove it — we want to talk to you.

What you'll do

• Own inventory accuracy across every SKU. Investigate variances. Drive root-cause fixes that measurably reduce shrink.
• Enforce FIFO / FEFO across receiving, putaway, and picking. Build the routines, signage, and audits that make rotation automatic.
• Flag aging and short-coded product daily. Get it in front of sales early enough to move at full margin instead of dumping it.
• Improve merchandise flow from dock to door. Spot bottlenecks. Fix them.
• Set and publish KPIs for shrink, dump, turn, and accuracy. Weekly scorecard. Visible, measurable progress.
• Coach the warehouse team on rotation, labeling, and inventory hygiene.
• Partner with purchasing on order sizing and lead times so we stay lean without stocking out.

• 5+ years in inventory, supply chain, or warehouse management — with direct produce, food, or perishables experience
• Hands-on WMS / ERP proficiency (Famous, Produce Pro, NetSuite, SAP, Blue Yonder, or similar)
• Fully bilingual English / Spanish — able to lead, train, and communicate clearly with warehouse teams in both languages
• Strong Excel and analytical skills; comfortable turning inventory data into reports leadership will trust
• Visible, hands-on floor leadership — builds trust with warehouse staff and holds the line on rotation standards
• A track record of measurably reducing shrink, dump, or write-offs in a perishables environment

• Experience in a high-volume distribution or wholesale operation
• Lean / Six Sigma or formal continuous-improvement training
• Familiarity with USDA, FDA, or FSMA requirements for food handling and traceability

• Competitive salary
• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• Paid time off and holidays
• 401K Plan with matchbing
• A high-visibility role reporting directly to senior operations leadership — your impact on shrink and dump will be tracked, recognized, and rewarded
