Position Summary: To produce store inventory results, which alert the company to problems in a unit's operation, including theft, accounting errors, paperwork, pricing, cash discrepancies, and evaluating the use of approved company shrink control systems. This involves physical counting as well evaluating inventory conditions and adherence to company shrink standards.
Responsibilities:
1. Lead or support an audit process of (1-3) Field Audit Control Specialists to conduct a physical inventory of store's merchandise. Every item of retail value and designated cost items in each store is counted or scanned including saleable merchandise, overstocks, damaged product and returns. This produces a value of the inventory that is used to produce a net-inventory loss/gain for each audit period.
2. Evaluate inventory conditions as measured by the Company's audit readiness standards. Need to be able to teach and coach the Store Managers on proper readiness standards, as well as deliver poor results in a professional and motivational manner.
3. Produce an immediate audit result for each unit at the time of the inventory. The result is calculated by comparing the physical inventory against the book balance and adjusting these figures to account for sales, unreported purchases, transfers, and price changes. This is done on a retail and cost basis as well as at an item level.
4. Research the inventory result, ensuring accuracy and making necessary adjustments and corrections to the result. By using reports, summaries and figures downloaded from corporate, information regarding vendor deliveries and returns, retailing, gross margins, price changes, sales figures and accounting discrepancies are researched, reported and corrected. This includes electronic data. This corrects each unit's paperwork to project a more accurate audit result, as well as alerting store management to errors being made in required paperwork, so that it can be corrected immediately at store level.
5. Evaluate the Manager's execution on the Company's Shrink Standards. This includes multiple-tiered questions based on the Manager's reports and feedback from the Manager. This often involves making determinations on the validity of the Manager's paperwork and statements.
6. Being accountable for obtaining a high level of customer satisfaction, accuracy and speed.
