Inventory Control Lead

Field Detail Job title Inventory Control Lead Department Operations / Supply Chain Location Dade City, FL warehouse Reports to Warehouse & Fulfillment Manager (President, interim, until that role is filled) Works beside Shipping Lead (peer; each is the cross-trained backup for the other) FLSA status Non-exempt (hourly) Position type Full-time, on-site, working lead. Hands-on every day. Direct reports None at hire. Gives day-to-day direction to associates and temps assigned to receiving and counting. Date modified November 2, 2026 Why this role matters Every error that reaches a customer starts upstream: a transfer received at the wrong count, product put away without a location, a pallet released from QC hold without a tag. This role owns the front half of the warehouse so the Shipping Lead can own the back half. When receiving is counted at the dock, every unit sits in a scanned Luminous bin, QC hold is tagged and segregated, and daily cycle counts catch variances the day they happen, shipping accuracy takes care of itself. Position summary The Inventory Control Lead owns inbound receiving from Brooksville and outside suppliers, put-away to Luminous bin locations, inventory accuracy and the daily cycle-count program, FIFO and shelf-life rotation, the physical handling and documentation of product on QC hold, quarantine and damage, and the outbound quality audit: a documented process for auditing orders before they ship and confirming that every product going out meets the customer’s specifications. The lead works on the floor, operates a forklift daily, gives direction to the associates and temporary workers assigned to receiving and counting, and is the trained backup for the Shipping Lead on pick, pack, ShipStation, and retailer orders. Outbound shipping, carrier scheduling and retailer compliance remain with the Shipping Lead; the two leads cover each other. What this role owns, shares, and does not own Scope Detail Owns Inbound receiving (Brooksville transfers and supplier deliveries): count at the dock against the transfer or PO, photo, discrepancy reporting the same day, receipt into Luminous; put-away to the assigned bin and scan; bin accuracy; the daily cycle-count program by ABC class, variance investigation and the variance log; FIFO and shelf-life rotation; QC hold, quarantine and damaged-goods areas: segregation, tagging (reason, date, release owner), release staging and records; the outbound quality audit program: audit of shipped orders against the order, label, packaging and customer specification, the audit log, and root cause on defects found; receiving, inventory and outbound-audit SOPs and training; the year-end physical inventory execution. Shares Slotting: the Warehouse Manager decides where product lives (by velocity and channel); this role executes the moves, keeps bin assignments accurate in Luminous, and proposes re-slots based on what the counts show; Systems & QC maintains the slotting model, SKU data and A/B/C classifications. 5S in the receiving, storage and QC-hold zones (with the Warehouse Manager); outbound pick, pack and ShipStation as backup to the Shipping Lead; safety and forklift program (with the Warehouse & Fulfillment Manager). Does not own Outbound shipping management, carrier scheduling, retailer routing-guide and EDI/portal execution (Shipping Lead); product quality decisions and QC release authority (Brooksville Production and QC; this role audits that what ships matches the spec, it does not decide whether product passes); freight sourcing and contracts (Finance & Procurement); hiring and corrective action (Warehouse Manager). Responsibilities Champion Black Diamond Coatings’ core values Embody and promote the company’s core values on the warehouse floor every day. Set the standard for the dock and the racks: every count, every label, every location, every time. Receiving Receive every Brooksville transfer and supplier delivery against its document: count at the d…
