This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working with data, solving problems, and improving the accuracy of inventory systems.

We're seeking someone who can do more than count inventory. We need an analytical problem-solver who understands how inventory transactions impact manufacturing operations.

• Help maintain accurate inventory records to support manufacturing and shipping operations.

SAP & Inventory Systems

• Review inventory transactions and material movements within SAP.
• Monitor warehouse transfers, production confirmations, and inventory-related system activity.
• Investigate SAP inventory errors, including COGI errors and transaction discrepancies.
• Research inventory inconsistencies and coordinate appropriate corrections.
• Analyze inventory data to identify recurring issues and opportunities for improvement.
• Prepare inventory reports and communicate findings to the appropriate teams.
• Help improve transaction accuracy and inventory system reliability.

Cross-Functional Manufacturing Support

• Communicate inventory discrepancies and coordinate follow-up actions.
• Support accurate material tracking throughout the manufacturing process.
• Partner with manufacturing personnel to improve inventory practices and data accuracy.
• Maintain organized records and support established inventory control procedures.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Experience with inventory control, inventory analysis, material tracking, or related functions.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to investigate discrepancies.
• Analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work with inventory records, transaction data, and computerized systems.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively with manufacturing, purchasing, warehouse, and shipping personnel.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate's or bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Operations, or a related field.
• Experience using SAP for inventory transactions, material movements, or inventory adjustments.
• Previous experience in manufacturing inventory control or materials management.
• Experience performing cycle counts, inventory audits, and discrepancy investigations.
• Familiarity with SAP COGI errors, warehouse transfers, and production confirmations.
• Background in fiber optic cable manufacturing or a similar industrial manufacturing environment.
• Experience with inventory data analysis and reporting.

The strongest candidates will be comfortable working with both inventory data and manufacturing personnel.

You'll need to understand how inventory moves through a production facility, recognize when system records don't match actual inventory, and take the initiative to investigate and resolve discrepancies.

Success in this role requires accuracy, communication, organization, and the ability to identify problems before they create larger operational challenges.

Annual Salary: $67,500 –$90,000

Compensation will be determined based on relevant experience, inventory control knowledge, analytical ability, and ERP/SAP expertise.
