Senior Inventory Analyst

Steele Brands Management LLC • Wayzata, MN

2d • $90,000 - $100,000

About The Position

Join a fast-moving, growth-oriented company where your work directly shapes how two national brands scale. This is a role with real ownership — you'll help build the systems and processes as much as run them.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in inventory planning, demand planning, replenishment, distribution, or supply chain analytics
• Advanced Excel skills — pivot tables, data validation, and comfort working with large data sets
• A track record of spotting problems before they become problems, and following through until they're actually solved
• Strong communication skills — you can walk a distributor through an issue and brief an executive on the same day
• A degree in Supply Chain, Business, Analytics, Operations, Logistics, Finance, or equivalent experience

Nice To Haves

• Restaurant, foodservice, CPG, retail, or multi-unit operations experience
• Experience with broadline distributors
• Familiarity with Restaurant365 or a similar ERP/inventory-planning system

Responsibilities

• Monitor inventory health across distribution centers and restaurants — on-hand inventory, days on hand, inventory turns, and stockout risk
• Build and maintain demand forecasts and replenishment recommendations using sales trends, seasonality, growth, and new restaurant openings
• Own distributor relationships day-to-day, tracking fill rate, service level, and on-time delivery, and driving issues through to resolution
• Lead inventory readiness for menu launches, LTOs, packaging changes, and product transitions across both brands
• Build dashboards and reporting that give leadership a clear, real-time view of inventory risk and performance
• Partner with Operations, Culinary, Marketing, Finance, and suppliers to keep inventory plans aligned with the business
