Department: Operations
Compensation: $16 – $20 / hr
Overview
We are seeking a Materials & Inventory Coordinator responsible for the flow and accuracy of materials throughout our manufacturing operation. This role ensures that incoming supplier materials are properly received, organized, and available to production teams while maintaining accurate inventory levels and a well-structured warehouse.
The right person is highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing both physical inventory and vendor communication. This position plays a critical role in supporting production throughput and maintaining operational efficiency.
Role Summary
This role owns the flow of materials inside the business—from receiving to shop floor availability. The objective is simple: production never stops due to missing, incorrect, or disorganized materials.
This is a hands-on, execution-focused position responsible for receiving, inventory accuracy, internal material movement, and vendor coordination. Success is measured by organization, accuracy, and production uptime—not activity.

- Monitor replenishment triggers and maintain stock levels
- Ensure both warehouse and production areas are aligned
Logistics & Issue Resolution

- Communicate with couriers and customers to resolve problems
- Ensure credits and replacements are handled accurately
What Success Looks Like
