Inventory Controller

**Description**: **The Role** When you read the words "Inventory Controller," you probably imagined a person absentmindedly stocking fifty-or-so shelves with factory-fresh merchandise. This isn't that kind of job. If that's what you're after, save us all some time and close this tab. If managing inventory was a sport, working at dbrand would be the Olympics. Our warehouse contains over fourty thousand individual SKUs. You know their locations like the back of your hand. As our in-house production lines churn out merchandise, you rise to the challenge of putting it in the right place. Other companies would crumble beneath the weight of our bins, but you succeed where others have failed. In this hypothetical Olympic sport, there are no gold medals - every last member of the team is a winner. Your reward? Aside from the satisfaction of blowing every benchmark out of the water, you get to revel in the gratitude and recognition from our millions-strong cult of customers. When our fans receive their packages and can't contain their excitement as they tweet, post on Instagram, or submit to Reddit, that experience only happens because our bins were stocked with the right product in the right place... and you were the one who put it there.
