Inventory Analyst

QRFS • Ashland, VA

5d • Onsite

About The Position

QRFS is growing fast. We are adding thousands of products to our catalog every year, serving customers who expect fast, accurate fulfillment, and operating with the discipline of a lean business that cannot afford to guess.

Inventory sits at the center of all of it.

When we get inventory decisions right, orders ship same day, customers trust us, cash flow stays predictable, and operations run smoothly. When we get them wrong, everything downstream gets harder.

That’s why we are hiring an Inventory Analyst — a role designed for someone who wants to own one of the most important decision engines in the company.

This is not a management track. It is not a stepping-stone job. This is a career-defining mastery role for someone who loves optimization, disciplined decision-making, and seeing their work create immediate, visible impact.
The Challenge You’ll Own
Our product catalog is large and growing, with many long-tail SKUs that may sell rarely — or never. We cannot keep everything in stock, and we cannot afford to be reactive.
Your job is to figure out:
Which products should be stocked
How much to keep on hand
When to replenish
How to do all of that while staying within budget
You’ll work with imperfect data, evolving assumptions, and real-world constraints. You’ll make decisions daily, learn from outcomes, and continuously refine the logic behind them.
If you enjoy turning complexity into clarity — and pressure-testing your thinking over time — this role will be deeply satisfying.

Requirements

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Advanced Excel skills (this is the primary tool today)
• Comfort making high-impact decisions with incomplete or messy data
• Ability to think in systems, document logic, and refine it over time
• Clear written communication
• A desire to master a role deeply rather than move quickly to the next title

Responsibilities

• Build, maintain, and refine inventory forecasting and stocking logic
• Decide what products are stocked, in what quantities, and on what cadence
• Balance fulfillment performance with strict inventory budget constraints
• Analyze backorders and stockouts to improve future decisions
• Translate internal inventory strategy into clear, confidence-building availability signals
• Document assumptions, decisions, and learnings so the system improves over time
• Create accurate purchase orders based on the approved decision artifact
• Issue POs and track them through receipt
• Ensure quantities, pricing, and terms match what was approved

Benefits

• Healthcare benefits and 401K with company matching
• Paid Time Off: 14 days PTO, plus 6 Federal Holidays and the Day After Thanksgiving.
• Office Dog: Plato, our office dog, is always ready to play when you need a break.
