Inventory Planning & Procurement Lead

CRD Careers (Independent Recruiters) • Orlando, FL

8h • $90,000 - $125,000

About The Position

This role owns the inventory planning and procurement decision-making that keeps the organization running smoothly. The focus is ensuring the right materials are available at the right time — without tying up capital in excess stock. The ideal candidate is analytical, proactive, and comfortable translating operational realities into clear, data-backed inventory strategies. This is not a logistics-heavy or sourcing-heavy role. The core work centers on usage analysis, lead-time management, and building the logic that drives smart replenishment.

Nice To Haves

• Light logistics exposure (e.g., inbound carriers) is helpful but not core to the role
• People leadership is a plus but not required — this can sit at a lead level without direct reports

Responsibilities

• Owns the full inventory strategy: what to stock, how much, and when to reorder
• Builds and maintains reorder point logic using historical usage, variability, and real-world lead times
• Sets and adjusts safety stock and replenishment parameters to balance service levels and working capital
• Identifies inventory risk (stockouts vs. overstock) and takes corrective action quickly
• Partners with internal teams to translate operational needs into actionable stocking plans
• Communicates inventory decisions clearly and proactively to stakeholders
