About the role:

We are seeking a Senior Specialist, Inventory Management. Reporting to the Senior Manager Operations & Planning, our ideal candidate is responsible for inventory planning and health for Samsung.com and Samsung retail stores in Canada. The role turns SKU-level stock data from several sources into a consistent view of inventory position, aging, and cover, then uses that view to shape purchase and transfer decisions. The role optimizes inventory allocation between warehouse and store locations so that stock sits where demand is. The Senior Specialist works with demand planning, product management, and finance, and is accountable for reducing inventory-related costs and margin leakage. The role also reduces the manual data consolidation the team currently carries.

 

Location: Mississauga 5 days a week

 

What you’re responsible for: 

• Track SKU-level inventory across online and retail stores, including on-hand, in-transit, and open purchase orders, and flag variances before they affect sales
• Optimize inventory allocation between warehouse and store locations, using sell-through, store demand, and online demand signals to determine where stock should be held, transferred, or replenished
• Build and maintain the consolidated inventory dataset that the client is planning and finance teams use, replacing manual cross-source reconciliation with a repeatable, documented process
• Develop inventory plans with demand planning and product management, covering purchase orders, inter-location transfers, and consumption or sell-through plans
• Monitor aging and excess inventory, and report its financial impact
• Report inventory KPIs to leadership in formats suited to each audience (senior leadership, regional/global HQ, and division executives)
• Identify and escalate data gaps, source conflicts, or process failures that could distort inventory decisions
• Experience with DtC inventory for a brand that sells through both its own site and physical stores
• Familiarity with how promotional activity affects sell-through and aging, without owning promotional decisions

Job Requirements:

 

• 5+ years of experience in inventory, supply chain, or demand planning, ideally in consumer electronics or a DtC/e-commerce environment
• Experience with ERP or inventory systems (SAP experience)
• Experience balancing inventory across warehouse and retail locations, or across online and store channels
• Demonstrated ability to build reusable reporting or data models that reduce manual work
• Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain inventory trade-offs to non-specialist executives
• Exposure to inventory-related cost and margin analysis
• Strong Excel skills and hands-on experience with large SKU-level dataset
