Inventory Specialist

About the Role

This position serves as a vital operational anchor within the store, bridging the gap between inventory management, pharmacy compliance, and exceptional customer service. You will be responsible for executing and training the team on best practices for inventory, ensuring on-shelf availability, and maintaining the accuracy of front-end and pharmacy assets. In designated locations, you will also step into leadership roles to open and close the store, manage cash handling, and oversee daily operations in the absence of store management.

Your day involves a dynamic mix of technical and interpersonal tasks. You will coordinate the receipt of deliveries, verify pharmacy shipments under the supervision of the pharmacist-in-charge, and manage complex inventory processes including pricing, markdowns, and returns. Beyond the back room, you are the face of the store for many customers, greeting them, resolving issues, and modeling service traits that create a distinctive and delightful experience. You will also act as a liaison between management and the team, coaching others on inventory systems and communicating operational updates.
