Master Scheduler Remote Jobs in Riverside, CA (NOW HIRING)

The Lead Logistics Analyst drives the strategic administration of inventory planning, master scheduling, materials handling, inventory turnover, customer service levels, stocking decisions, forecasting, and administrative controls across multiple distribution facilities. This role serves as a senior technical resource and informal leader within the logistics/supply chain function, coordinating supply and demand activities across business units, mentoring less experienced analysts, and driving policy and process improvements that maximize the effectiveness of materials management on a broader organizational scale. The Lead Logistics Analyst operates with a higher degree of autonomy, leading small-to-mid-sized projects and initiatives while partnering closely with cross-functional teams to align logistics strategy with company objectives.

Here’s what you’ll do:

• Coordinates and oversees supply and demand activities for products across multiple business units, optimizing inventory levels, fill rates, and customer service delivery.
• Analyzes complex data sets and trends to develop and refine forecasting models, stocking strategies, and inventory policies that reduce carrying costs while maintaining service targets.
• Recommends and leads implementation of policy, process, and systems improvements to maximize the effective management of materials and enhance operational efficiency across the network.
• Develops short- to mid-term objectives and action plans, ensuring alignment with broader company goals, and initiates and drives corrective actions when performance gaps arise.
• Leads or contributes significantly to small projects or discrete portions of larger team/organizational initiatives, managing timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder communication.
• Resolves complex, ambiguous issues independently by evaluating multiple variable factors, applying judgment to select appropriate methods and evaluation criteria, and escalating only the most novel or high-risk problems.
• Establishes, documents, and administers unit-level policies, procedures, and systems governing inventory and materials management.
• Partners with cross-functional teams (procurement, operations, sales, finance) to align supply chain activities with organizational priorities and resolve interdepartmental bottlenecks.
• Provides guidance, mentorship, and technical direction to less experienced logistics/inventory analysts, reviewing their work and helping build their capability.
• Monitors key performance indicators (inventory turns, service levels, forecast accuracy) and reports insights and recommendations to management.
• Supports audits and administrative controls to ensure compliance with company policy and regulatory requirements related to materials management.

What you’ll need to be successful:

• Advanced professional with deep, specialized expertise in logistics and supply chain management, capable of independently resolving complex and varied issues through creative, judgment-based solutions.
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills, with demonstrated experience in inventory planning, demand forecasting, master scheduling, and materials management.
• Proficiency with supply chain planning systems (e.g., ERP/WMS platforms) and advanced Excel or data analysis tools; experience with forecasting or inventory optimization software preferred.
• Proven ability to coordinate cross-functional activities and influence stakeholders without direct authority.
• Experience leading projects or initiatives, with the ability to plan, prioritize, and manage competing deliverables.
• Prior experience mentoring or providing technical guidance to junior team members preferred.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex data into actionable recommendations for varying audiences.
• 3 – 5 years of relevant experience in logistics, supply chain, or inventory/materials management (or equivalent combination of education and experience).
• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Logistics, or related field preferred; relevant certifications (e.g., APICS/ASCM CPIM or CSCP) a plus.
