Inventory Manager with 8+ years scaling retail inventory systems and compliance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a goal-driven Inventory Manager with 8+ years of high-volume cannabis retail operations experience, focused on building accurate, scalable inventory systems. I’ve been recognized for developing inventory processes adopted company-wide across multiple U.S. locations.
In my most recent role, I led all inventory operations to ensure accuracy, compliance, and efficiency. I managed inventory orders of 1,000+ SKUs per day, oversaw an average of $1M+ in active inventory value, and handled cycle counts, audits, and reconciliation to minimize discrepancies and loss. I also maintained strict compliance using state inventory tracking systems (METRC, LeafLogix, Dutchie).
I’ve also supported delivery and business continuity, including managing both delivery operations and inventory control during COVID-19. I’m hands-on in logistics management, and I’ve built, trained, and led teams of up to 8 inventory specialists while partnering with management to streamline processes and strengthen store performance.
