Job description

Senior & Mid Level Physical Inventory Supervisor – Northern California

Competitive Pay | Field Leadership | Growth Opportunity

Ready to Be a True Inventory Supervisor?

If you've worked in professional inventory and know how to run a successful inventory—not just count one—we want to talk to you.

Valley Inventory Service (VIS) is looking for experienced Inventory Supervisors and Crew Leaders throughout Northern California.

We are especially interested in people with experience at WIS, RGIS, PICS or other professional inventory companies who are ready for greater responsibility, ownership and an opportunity to grow.

At VIS, a Supervisor isn't simply the fastest counter wearing a different title.

You are the on-site leader of the inventory.

You lead the people.
You manage the process.
You communicate with the customer.
You protect accuracy.
And you take ownership of getting the job done right.

What You'll Own

As a VIS Physical Inventory Supervisor, you will be responsible for the inventory from arrival through successful completion.

You will:

  • Lead and supervise inventory crews at customer locations
  • Review the scope and expectations of each inventory
  • Conduct crew briefings and assign counting areas
  • Set the pace and keep the crew productive
  • Monitor accuracy and inventory progress
  • Train, coach and develop Inventory Auditors and Crew Leads
  • Perform audits, verification counts and recounts
  • Identify problems early and take corrective action
  • Communicate directly and professionally with customer management
  • Troubleshoot inventory equipment and operational issues
  • Coordinate with VIS Operations when additional support is needed
  • Verify that all areas are completed before closing the inventory
  • Complete timekeeping, paperwork and required job documentation
  • Account for VIS equipment and resources

And when the team needs help, you jump in.

Our supervisors lead from the floor and aren't afraid to count, scan, audit or troubleshoot alongside their crews.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for people who already understand that successful inventories require more than counting fast.

You should be someone who can walk into a customer location, introduce yourself to management, understand the assignment, organize a crew and confidently take responsibility for the inventory.

Strong candidates will have:

  • Professional physical inventory experience
  • Previous Crew Lead, Supervisor or field-leadership experience
  • Strong people and communication skills
  • A track record of reliability and punctuality
  • Strong attention to accuracy and detail
  • The ability to organize and motivate crews
  • Confidence communicating directly with customers
  • Comfort using handheld inventory technology and computers
  • The ability to make good decisions without constant supervision
  • A valid driver's license and acceptable driving record
  • Availability to travel throughout Northern California
  • Flexibility to work early mornings, evenings, weekends and occasional overnight assignments

Compensation

Starting $20.00 plus Bonus eligible based on skills and count speed.

Your starting rate will depend on your inventory experience, leadership experience and demonstrated ability to independently manage inventory assignments.

We recognize increased capability with increased opportunity.

Our goal is to develop supervisors who can progress from leading smaller assignments to independently managing larger and more complex inventories and customer relationships.
