The ideal candidate is someone who is comfortable working with technology, enjoys troubleshooting problems, and can think critically when information doesn't match.

• Verify inbound and outbound inventory for accuracy.
• Review warehouse tickets, transfer records, pull tickets, and other documentation.

• Work with warehouse personnel to correct inventory and process issues.
• Use warehouse technology, scanners, inventory software, computers, and other systems to track and verify inventory.
• Troubleshoot technology or system-related issues affecting inventory accuracy.
• Escalate system problems when necessary and work with management or technical support to find solutions.
• Maintain accurate documentation of audits, discrepancies, corrections, and unresolved issues.
• Assist with improving inventory control procedures and warehouse processes.
• Perform spot checks of high-value, frequently moved, or problem inventory.
• Ensure inventory is properly labeled, located, transferred, and accounted for.
• Help train warehouse personnel on proper inventory procedures when needed.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and professional work environment.

• Have strong organizational and follow-through skills.
• Be able to work independently while also communicating effectively with a warehouse team.
• Be willing to ask questions and dig into an issue until it is resolved.
• Have strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Be able to identify patterns and recurring problems.
• Be dependable, proactive, and accountable.
• Be comfortable working in a warehouse environment and performing physical inventory checks.

Technology & Problem-Solving Skills

This position is particularly well suited for someone who enjoys figuring out how things work and solving technology-related problems.

The Inventory Auditor may be expected to:

• Troubleshoot scanner and barcode issues.
• Identify discrepancies between multiple systems or records.
• Research inventory history and transaction records.
• Determine whether an issue is caused by user error, process failure, data entry, or system functionality.
• Learn and navigate inventory management software.
• Assist employees when they encounter problems with warehouse technology.
• Communicate technical issues clearly to management or IT support.
• Develop practical solutions when technology or system processes aren't working as expected.
