About The Position

The DC Waste Analyst – FF/3PL is a specialized version of the DC Waste Analyst role focused on waste identification and mitigation within Factor's fulfillment and third-party logistics network. Rather than a single DC floor, you'll work across external fulfillment and 3PL sites — monitoring inventory utilization, flagging at-risk product, and partnering with 3PL operators to reduce waste before it occurs.

Requirements

• 2+ years in supply chain operations, inventory management, or logistics — preferably with exposure to 3PL or external fulfillment environments

• Strong analytical skills with proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and inventory reporting tools
• Working knowledge of ERP/WMS systems and inventory control principles

Nice To Haves

• Bachelor's degree in supply chain, Business, Logistics, or a related field preferred

Responsibilities

• Monitor inventory positions and product utilization across FF and 3PL partner sites to identify waste risk in real time
• Coordinate with 3PL operators and Factor's internal logistics team to intervene on at-risk inventory — including near-expiry product, excess stock, and slow-moving SKUs
• Track and document waste events across the FF/3PL network, including root cause and resolution
• Support waste projection modeling by providing accurate, timely data on inventory status across external sites
• Analyze cross-site waste trends within the FF/3PL network and surface patterns to the Waste Manager
• Maintain inventory data accuracy for FF/3PL positions in ERP/WMS systems; flag discrepancies promptly
• Partner with the 3PL Strategy team and DC Waste Manager on network-level waste reduction initiatives
• Contribute to regular waste reporting cadences with data from FF and 3PL locations

Benefits

• Competitive hourly rate
• 401K company match that vests immediately upon participation
• Team bonus opportunities
• Generous PTO
• Flexible attendance policy
• Comprehensive health and wellness benefits with options at $0 monthly, effective first day of employment
• Up to 85% discount on subscriptions to HelloFresh meal plans (HelloFresh, Green Chef, Everyplate, and Factor_)
