About The Role
The Inventory Coordinator is a store-level support role that keeps our receiving operation running smoothly and accurately. You'll work closely with department managers and leads — handling the day-to-day operational and administrative tasks tied to receiving so they can stay focused on their teams, their departments, and our guests. This is a detail-oriented, physically active role that sits at the centre of our product flow — from the moment a delivery arrives to the moment product hits the sales floor.

What You'll Be Doing

Processing incoming shipments in our CounterPoint POS system, including purchase orders, invoices, and quantity adjustments

Verifying physical deliveries against packing slips and POs, and flagging any discrepancies, shortages, or damages to the relevant department manager

Keeping receiving documentation organized and moving accurately to the accounting team

Coordinating vendor returns and assisting with return-to-vendor logistics

Maintaining a clean, organized, and safe back-of-house storage area

Supporting department managers and leads with backstock movement, floor replenishment, tagging, and pricing

Assisting with physical inventory counts, cycle counts, and seasonal changeovers

Operating material handling equipment (forklift, hand trucks, pallet jacks, flatbeds) safely

Building solid working relationships with vendor reps and delivery drivers to keep receiving efficient

A Few Things To Know About This Role





Workload is seasonal — volume increases significantly during spring setup, spring selling season, and holiday; flexibility and adaptability are essential

During slower periods, you'll support general store operations as directed by your Store Manager

Early morning start times, weekends, and some statutory holiday availability will be required during peak periods

Is This You?

Are highly detail-oriented — catching a quantity discrepancy or a missing credit memo before it becomes someone else's problem is satisfying to you

Take ownership of your systems and space — the back room, the paperwork flow, the POS records reflect your standards

Communicate proactively — you flag issues early and give people the information you need without being asked

Are comfortable working in a support function — you do your best work behind the scenes, helping others succeed

Can shift gears without losing accuracy — peak season is high-volume and fast-moving; you stay organized under pressure

Are physically capable and consistent — this role involves repeated lifting, extended time on your feet, and working in all weather

Are reliable and self-directed — you follow established procedures, manage your time well, and don't need to be micromanaged

Pick up new systems quickly — CounterPoint or similar POS/inventory software comes naturally to you, or you're motivated to learn it fast
