    • Lead physical inventory counts and ensure reconciliation to system of record.
  • Production Support / Material Flow (Parity Factory + NetSuite Alignment)
    • Ensure consistent line-side replenishment and staging to prevent production downtime due to material shortages.
    • Partner with Production to align material movement/staging expectations with the production schedule and execution signals in Parity Factory.
    • Maintain accurate WIP movements and transactions to keep Parity Factory execution aligned with NetSuite inventory.
    • Establish standard routines for kitting/staging, returns to stock, scrap disposition, and end-of-run closeout.
  • Outbound Shipping (Finished Goods / Transfers)

    • Ensure correct documentation and compliance: BOLs, labels, pallet builds, load securement, and carrier requirements.
    • Coordinate carrier scheduling, dock appointments, and shipment priorities to support Customer Service and Distribution needs.
    • Own freight claims process and drive reduction in shipping errors and product damage.
  • Systems & Transactional Discipline (NetSuite)
    • Ensure high-quality transactions in NetSuite: receipts, inventory moves, bin transfers, picks, shipments, cycle count entries, and approved adjustments.
    • Maintain clear SOPs for when and how transactions occur to prevent timing gaps between physical moves and system updates.
    • Partner with Finance/Costing to support accurate inventory valuation and clean period close practices.
    • Support audits and traceability needs by maintaining accurate records and documentation.
  • People Leadership & Performance Management
    • Lead, coach, and develop warehouse leads/supervisors and hourly team members (training plans, performance feedback, accountability).
    • Build labor plans to match volume and production needs; control overtime while meeting service levels.
    • Establish daily management cadence (shift handoffs, tier meetings, KPI boards, problem-solving routines).
    • Foster a high-performance culture focused on safety, accuracy, and teamwork.
  • Continuous Improvement & Cost Management
    • Identify and execute CI projects (5S, visual management, standard work, slotting, replenishment design, dock flow improvements).
    • Reduce waste and cost drivers: mis-picks, shortages, damages, expedited freight, rework, and excess motion.
    • Improve space utilization (racking, layout, slotting) and material flow efficiency.
    • Drive measurable improvements in labor productivity and service metrics.
