• Oversee inventory management for all in‐house brand products, including:
• • Tracking open production orders, their due dates, and ETAs.
  • Reconciling production against current inventory levels.

  • Build accurate billing reports in Excel.
  • Translate and enter billing data into QuickBooks Online (QBO).
• Support special projects related to process improvement, inventory optimization, and key account operations, including the use of AI tools to streamline workflows.
• Perform other related administrative and coordination tasks as assigned (documentation, filing, basic reporting, data cleanup, etc.).

Required skills and qualifications

• Minimum of an associate’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Accounting, or a related field.
• Strong computer skills, including:
• • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel (sorting/filtering, basic formulas, data validation, and simple reporting).
  • Comfort working across multiple web‐based systems and dashboards.
• Demonstrated ability to use AI large language models (LLMs) and productivity tools (e.g., AI coworkers for drafting emails, summarizing data, creating checklists, or supporting special projects).
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple POs, customers, and deadlines simultaneously.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy in documentation, data entry, and reconciliations.
• Clear, professional communication skills (written and verbal), especially for customer‐facing updates and cross‐department coordination.
• Ability to interpret production schedules, inventory reports, and order status data and turn them into actionable next steps.

Ideal candidate profile

The ideal candidate is detail‐oriented, proactive, and comfortable living at the intersection of customers, production, and inventory.
