Job Summary The Analyst, Warehouse Inventory Control supports day‑to‑day inventory accuracy, system execution, slotting support, and warehouse readiness activities within the distribution center. This role executes physical and system‑based inventory controls, including cycle counting, quarantine verification, slotting validation, and variance analysis, ensuring that inventory locations and balances are accurate, auditable, and aligned between physical stock and the warehouse management system (WMS). The role operates at the intersection of inventory control, slotting execution support, WMS discipline, and warehouse operations, providing hands‑on execution to maintain stable operations and minimize service disruption caused by inventory, slotting, or system discrepancies. This position emphasizes accuracy, discipline, and follow‑through, rather than decision authority or policy ownership.
