Inventory Manager Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• 7-10+ years of progressive experience in supply chain, inventory management, or inventory deployment in a multi-channel, multi-market consumer goods or beauty environment
• Demonstrated experience managing inventory across DTC, marketplace (Amazon, multi-market), wholesale/retail, and international channels simultaneously
• Prior experience leading a multi-person team, including management of other managers or senior analysts; experience managing across geographies a strong advantage
• Experience working within ERP systems operationally (NetSuite strongly preferred); exposure to ERP implementation or automation projects an advantage
• Advanced Excel proficiency; Power BI or equivalent BI tool experience for operational reporting
• Familiarity with Smartsheet or equivalent tracker-based tools — and a clear intent to drive the organization away from manual workarounds toward system-native and/or AI solutions
• Master’s degree – Business or Supply Chain preferred
• APICS CPIM or CSCP certification a plus

Responsibilities

• Consolidate and lead the full global Inventory Deployment function - NAM and International - as the single accountable owner of finished goods placement across all markets and channels
• Set the global inventory deployment strategy: define global allocation policy, constrained-period decision frameworks, and Supply Signal standards that apply consistently across all markets NAM, ANZ, APAC, EU, and UK
• Make cross-market allocation decisions that optimize global inventory health simultaneously — not within a single region - owning the commercial consequences of constrained-SKU, NPD launch, and OOS scenarios across 100% of company revenue
• Lead, develop, and hold accountable a consolidated global team: three NAM analysts (direct) and the Manager, International Deployment and their APAC analyst (indirect), building toward a high-performing function with consistent standards and reduced reliance on manager-level intervention for routine decisions
• Own the integration of Inventory Deployment into the global S&OP process — representing a single, authoritative global inventory voice in consensus and executive tiers, and ensuring deployment constraints are visible and actioned at the planning level
• Drive the transformation of the Inventory Deployment function from reactive and manual to structured, system-supported, and scalable — leading NetSuite deployment automation, Supply Signal rebuild, global OOS visibility, and SLOB dashboard delivery as primary SME and accountable owner
• Define and govern global North Star KPIs for inventory deployment — fill rate, in-stock rate, MOS, projected OOS impact, and SLOB exposure by market — and build the reporting infrastructure to make performance visible and actionable across all regions
• Own daily global inventory execution with commercial rigour: transfer orders, reallocations, misroutes, and stuck orders across all DCs and markets, ensuring inventory is never double-committed and service levels are maintained across every channel
• Lead the global Supply Signal manual approvals cycle — managing all five approval types across all regions — and partner with Demand Planning to ensure requests reflect accurate channel needs and upstream supply risk is escalated proactively
• Manage global expiry date and SLOB strategy with a working capital lens, minimizing write-off risk and ensuring constrained inventory is allocated to its highest-value use across all markets
• Serve as the senior cross-functional partner for all channel leads globally, representing Inventory Deployment with authority in all relevant forums and ensuring allocation decisions reflect commercial priorities, promotional calendars, and channel mix strategies
• Drive the roadmap to reduce manual platform dependency across the function — consolidating execution across NetSuite, WMS, OPC, Smartsheet, and Power BI into scalable, documented, system-supported processes
