About the role
- Maintain accurate, real-time inventory data across multiple co-mans, sites, and divisions.
- Enter, receive, and close Purchase Orders (POs), while working with co-manufacturers and buyer/planners to resolve receiving discrepancies in order to prevent inventory variances before they happen.
- Track and reconcile transfers, scrap, and adjustments to ensure all system transactions match physical movement.
- Conduct quarterly inventory reconciliations with all co-man partners, sometimes conducting them monthly when needed.
- Create and document standard operating procedures (SOPs) and lead training for inventory processes, transfers, and sales order management.
- Identify gaps in current workflows and proactively implement system and process improvements.
- Drive consistency across co-mans and internal teams through clear, repeatable documentation.
- Work with our planning team to help manage part numbers and Bills of Materials (BOMs) in our ERP system.
- Work with our systems team to understand our ERP/Inventory System (Rootstock) to improve the functionality of our tools.
- Partner with Finance and Accounting to ensure all inventory transactions are recorded accurately and timely for financial close.
- Serve as a key systems power user — troubleshooting issues, optimizing workflows, and supporting integrations as we scale.
Requirements
- 4-6 years of experience in ERP management, operations, or supply chain (manufacturing or CPG preferred).
- Strong understanding of inventory best practices, systems, BOMs, and ERP transactions.
- Experience working with co-mans or distributed manufacturing networks.
- Experience implementing or improving ERP or MRP systems (extra bonus points for Rootstock experience)
- Prior exposure to CPG, food, or regulated product environments.
- Excel/Sheets and advanced experience within ERP systems; comfortable with data analysis, pivot tables, creating reports, and troubleshooting variances.
- Confident communicator who can follow up assertively and diplomatically across cross-functional teams.
- Able to thrive in a fast-paced, constantly-changing, ambiguous environment — you create order from chaos, and scalable process from complexity.
- A proactive problem solver who doesn’t wait to be told what to fix — you see the issue and get it done.
