About the role

  • Inventory Manager developing inventory systems and demand forecasting for consumer technology at Gabb. Leading inventory allocation across multi-channel sales and reporting to COO.

Responsibilities

  • Audit the current state of Gabb's inventory operations — stock positions, open POs, in-transit inventory, fulfillment gaps, and channel-level accuracy — and develop a clear picture of where things stand
  • Design and implement an inventory management system and operating cadence that supports Gabb's multi-channel, multi-3PL model
  • Establish SOPs for inventory receipt, tracking, allocation, replenishment, and reconciliation across 1PL and 3PL fulfillment partners
  • Build reporting infrastructure that gives leadership real-time visibility into inventory positions, sell-through rates, and fulfillment health by channel
  • Develop and own Gabb's demand forecasting model, incorporating historical sales data, channel velocity, promotional calendars, and seasonal patterns
  • Build replenishment triggers and reorder logic for each channel — ensuring the right inventory is in the right place at the right time
  • Manage purchase order creation, tracking, and confirmation with Gabb's hardware manufacturing partners and ensure inbound shipments are received, documented, and reconciled on time
  • Proactively identified and escalate inventory risks: stockouts, overstock, delayed shipments, and fulfillment misallocations before they become customer-facing problems
  • Own inventory allocation and positioning across all active sales channels: D2C, Amazon, Buy with Prime, third-party marketplaces, affiliates, and new retail channel launches as they come online
  • Coordinate with the Amazon and marketplace teams to maintain accurate FBA inventory levels and avoid suppression or stockout penalties
  • Support retail relationships with accurate sell-through reporting and replenishment planning that meets retail compliance requirements
  • Plan and execute inventory positioning for new retail channel launches, coordinating supply with readiness ahead of go-live dates
  • Partner with the Growth and Marketing teams to account for influencer and affiliate-driven demand spikes in forecast models
  • Manage relationships with 3PL fulfillment partners holding them accountable for SLAs, inventory accuracy, and timely order fulfillment
  • Conduct regular inventory reconciliations across all warehouse and 3PL locations to identify and resolve discrepancies
  • Evaluate 3PL performance and escalate or recommend changes where partners are not meeting operational standards
  • Coordinate inbound freight from manufacturer origin through to warehouse receipt, including documentation, customs coordination, and receiving confirmation
  • Partner with Finance on inventory valuation, COGS accuracy, and landed cost tracking
  • Work with the product and operations teams to align inventory planning with device launch timelines and product transitions
  • Provide channel-level inventory data to Sales, Growth, and Marketing to inform promotional planning and campaign timing
  • Report directly to the COO on inventory health, risk exposure, and operational progress on a regular cadence

Requirements

  • 5+ years of inventory management, supply chain, or operations experience in a consumer products, hardware, or multi-channel retail environment
  • Demonstrated experience building inventory systems and forecasting processes — not just operating within existing ones
  • Hands-on experience managing manufacturer relationships and inbound purchase orders in hardware or physical goods context
  • Multi-channel experience is required: you have managed inventory across at least two of the following: Amazon/FBA, DTC, brick-and-mortar retail, or 3PL-based fulfillment
  • Proficiency with inventory management software, ERP systems, or supply chain tooling; experience with integrating systems across multiple sales channels
  • Strong command of Excel or Google Sheets for forecasting, modeling, and reconciliation; experience with BI or reporting tools are a plus
  • Working knowledge of retail compliance requirements, including big-box vendor standards.
