Inventory Control Lead

About the role

Grüns is growing fast, and inventory accuracy now decides whether orders ship on time and in full. Today, inventory at our Roanoke facility runs mostly through one person. We’re hiring its first dedicated owner, who will make the numbers right, keep them right, and build the system that holds it all together.

This role is on-site at our Roanoke, TX facility, working alongside the warehouse team every day.

In this role, you will:

• Own inventory accuracy at our Roanoke facility from end to end
• Run the daily cycle count program, investigating every variance to root cause and making sure the fix is reflected in the system
• Lead two full physical inventory counts a year, on schedule
• Monitor stock levels and flag shortages, overstock, damaged product, and expiring product before they affect a shipment
• Write the SOPs we don’t have yet: storage, counting, variance investigation, and adjustments
• Report inventory accuracy on a regular cadence, with a target of 98% or higher, along with a recurring view of slow-moving, overstocked, and expiring inventory
• Take day-to-day inventory management off our Warehouse Manager’s plate and drive process improvements that cut errors and add efficiency

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has 3+ years in inventory control, cycle counting, or warehouse operations, ideally in food or supplements
• Has built or improved a cycle count or accuracy process and can show the measurable result
• Has hands-on WMS/ERP experience (Fulfil.io is a plus) and is fluent with barcode scanners
• Is proficient in Excel or Google Sheets and can run variance and root-cause analysis
• Has written or improved SOPs
• Holds a forklift certification, or is willing and able to get one after hiring
• Bonus: lot and expiration tracking (FIFO/FEFO), prior lead or trainer experience, and bilingual English/Spanish

Approach to the role:

• Treats accuracy as non-negotiable
• Finds out why a count is off instead of just correcting it
• Documents the work so anyone can repeat it
• Flags problems early, before they hit a shipment
• Works shoulder to shoulder with the warehouse team and earns their trust
• Takes extreme ownership and doesn’t need to be managed

Compensation & Benefits:

At Grüns, we’re committed to providing a competitive total compensation package, grounded in market data that considers our size, stage, industry, and location. For this role, the base pay is $21/hour, paired with a comprehensive benefits package designed to support the well-being and growth of our team.
