The Inventory Specialist role at Porter Logistics is critical to the company’s overall success and reputation for precision in service delivery. Inventory acts as the backbone for all client operations, and this position requires someone who embraces responsibility for the accuracy and organization of warehouse inventory. This role is not passive data entry; it demands proactive management of cycle counts, meticulous resolution of inventory discrepancies, and maintaining precise records within the warehouse management system (WMS). The Inventory Specialist collaborates closely with multiple departments—warehouse operations, leadership, customer success, and even the clients themselves—to ensure the highest levels of inventory accuracy and accountability. Communication skills are vital, as this person will be the go-to problem solver when inventory numbers don’t align and discrepancies arise. Accountability, clear communication, and attention to detail are hallmarks of successful candidates.

This full-time, hourly position requires physical presence on-site at the warehouse with standard hours from 8 am to 4 pm. The salary range is competitively set between $20 and $23 per hour, depending on experience, and includes medical, dental, and vision insurance plans, paid time off, and company holidays, providing a comprehensive benefits package. This role suits individuals who thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments where no two days are the same and where ownership of their work directly influences client satisfaction and company success. Candidates should be ready to grow professionally within a company well-known for promoting from within and fostering internal talent. This role is ideal for those who enjoy cross-team collaboration, are detail-oriented, and possess a sense of pride in delivering accurate, error-free inventory management.
