We are a fast-growing company with a diverse product range and a commitment to delivering top-quality vaping products to our customers. We are seeking an experienced, detail-oriented, and highly organized Inventory Manager to join our team and oversee the management of our extensive inventory.

Job Summary:

The Inventory Manager will be responsible for ensuring the efficient management and organization of our vast product inventory. This role requires a hands-on approach in tracking and organizing products, developing inventory control systems, performing regular inventory checks, and optimizing stock levels across multiple locations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Inventory Organization: Develop and implement a structured inventory system to categorize and track products, and detailed counts.
• Inventory Audits: Conduct regular manual inventory audits to ensure stock accuracy and prevent stockouts or overstock situations.
• Stock Level Management: Monitor and manage inventory levels, ensuring the availability of products without excess or shortfall. Coordinate with suppliers to replenish stock as needed.
• Order Management: Oversee and track orders from suppliers and ensure timely deliveries. Maintain communication with purchasing and logistics teams to avoid delays.
• Record Keeping: Maintain up-to-date, accurate records of inventory counts, product movements, and transactions. Implement a simple yet effective way of tracking products without traditional SKUs or cycles.
• Product Categorization: Develop and manage an inventory system that works well with our product variety, implementing new ways to label and track items.
• Reporting: Prepare regular reports on inventory status, product levels, and any discrepancies, presenting findings to management for informed decision-making.
• Loss Prevention: Identify potential risks of loss or damage to inventory, implementing proactive measures to mitigate these issues.
• Improvement Initiatives: Work continuously to improve the efficiency of inventory practices, including streamlining processes and reducing errors.
• Vendor Coordination: Work closely with warehouse staff to streamline inventory processes and ensure optimal storage and handling of products.

Requirements:

• Proven experience in inventory management, supply chain, or logistics.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize and multitask in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to work with products that are not standardized with SKUs or formal counts.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with a keen eye for identifying inefficiencies or issues in inventory practices.
• Good communication skills, able to work cross-functionally with other departments such as purchasing, sales, and logistics.
• Experience with vendor management or inventory control systems (though systems don’t need to be SKU-based).
• Familiarity with inventory management practices in industries with a wide range of products (e.g., vape products, accessories).
• Ability to implement processes from scratch and improve existing workflows.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in managing inventory for a consumer goods company, particularly in the vape, tobacco, or related industries.
• Knowledge of inventory tracking software and systems.
• Experience with cyclical inventory processes, even if they aren't formalized.

• Competitive salary.
