Job Overview:

The Quality-Inventory Hybrid Specialist
ensures inventory accuracy and compliance with quality standards by applying first principles of inventory management: accurate data, physical control, process discipline, visibility, compliance, and accountability. This role combines inventory control responsibilities with QA knowledge to maintain product integrity throughout the production lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities:

Inventory Accuracy & Control

• Maintain real-time, accurate inventory records for all transactions (receipts, issues, returns).
• Use actual measurements (weights, counts) instead of theoretical estimates for unit calculations.
• Manage storage locations and enforce bin-level accuracy.
• Segregate inventory by disposition (Released, Hold/Quarantine, Rejected).
• Reconcile leftover or returned materials promptly and accurately.

Production Support

• Stage materials for batch production and verify quantities using weight-based calculations.
• Collaborate with production leads to confirm output inventory counts at batch completion.
• Support line clearances as required in the absence of QA or designated personnel to maintain compliance.

Quality & Compliance Integration

• Apply QA principles to inventory handling and ensure compliance with SOPs and regulatory requirements.
• Link inventory transactions to batch records and product release status for traceability.

Process Discipline & Visibility

• Follow standardized workflows for staging, picking, reconciliation, and cycle counting.
• Support real-time visibility of inventory status through ERP or inventory systems.
• Investigate and resolve discrepancies proactively.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with QA, Production, Supply Chain, and Warehouse teams to maintain inventory integrity.
• Provide input for continuous improvement of inventory processes.

Qualifications & Skills:

• Diploma or degree in Supply Chain Management, Quality Assurance, Logistics or related field.
• Additional training in inventory systems or QA principles is an asset.
• 2–3 years of experience in inventory control, supply chain, or material handling.
• Exposure to QA practices in a regulated environment (cannabis, pharma, food, or similar).
• Experience with seed-to-sale inventory software such as Ample Organics, Elevated Signals, or similar platforms.
• Strong understanding of inventory management systems and ERP software.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including formulas, data validation, and logical functions.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a software/logical mindset.
• Proficient in basic math and weight-based calculations.
• Ability to work independently and proactively solve problems.
• Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.

Additional Requirements:

• Willingness to work an afternoon or late-morning shift (e.g., 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM).
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Working Conditions:

• Standing for extended periods and performing repetitive tasks.
• Working in a controlled, regulated environment.
• Compliance with safety and sanitation standards, including wearing protective equipment.

Conditions of Employment:
