About The Position

The Quality Assurance Specialist safeguards the quality and accuracy of merchandise moving through our Douglasville processing area. This role inspects items as they are processed, reviews customer returns to pinpoint what went wrong, and routes those findings to the Processing Supervisor and the team huddle so issues get corrected at the source. Sitting independent of processing output and reporting to the Retail Manager, the QA Specialist is the checkpoint that keeps defects and mis-graded product from reaching our customers — protecting revenue and buyer trust.
