Inventory Control Analyst (Amazon FBA)

About the role

We're looking for a forensic-minded Inventory Control Analyst to own Amazon FBA reconciliation across thousands of SKUs. This is an ownership role, not a reporting role.

Responsibilities

• Own reconciliation of inventory moving from our warehouse to Amazon FBA, WMS records, box-level contents, carrier handoff, and Amazon receiving events.
• Analyze FBA ledger data across receipts, returns, removals, disposals, and adjustments — translating Amazon reason codes into business impact.
• Manage a structured exception queue covering shortages, misplaced units, damages, and aged variances requiring reimbursement follow-up.
• Identify recurring failure points and partner with Warehouse and Operations to implement stronger controls and audit checks.
• Build executive-ready dashboards for CFO, Accounting, and Operations showing dollars at risk, variance by root cause, and recovery opportunities.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Warehouse, Accounting, and Amazon Operations on data quality, process fixes, and case escalation.

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• Weekly variance reporting quantifying unreconciled units and dollar impact by shipment, SKU, and root cause.
• A repeatable reconciliation process for inbound shipments from the warehouse to Amazon.
• Aging buckets and escalation rules for missing, damaged, lost, and unreceived units.
• Executive-ready reporting that drives decisions, not raw data dumps.

Requirements

• Deep understanding of FBA inbound, receiving, adjustments, removals, and common variance drivers.
• 3+ years Amazon FBA experience with inventory reconciliation, operations analytics, or inventory control experience.
• Strong SQL skills and advanced Excel (Power Query, complex lookups, pivots).
• Forensic attention to detail, comfort with imperfect data, and a bias toward repeatable controls over one-off analysis.
• Ownership mentality.

Skills

• Bi tools (Looker, Tableau, Power BI).
• SP-API datasets.
• Reimbursement workflows.
• WMS data models.

Benefits & Perks

• Multiple medical plan options through Anthem Blue Cross.
• Dental & vision insurance (including orthodontia and annual exams).
• Pet benefit program with savings on vet care, products, and services.
• Paid vacation (accruing up to 120+ hours/year with rollover and cap).
• Paid holidays annually.
• Coverage for spouses/domestic partners and dependents under 26.

Compensation range: $125,000–$150,000 DOE
