The posting

This is a direct hire position with one of our clients in Seattle, WA. This role will report onsite Monday through Thursday, with remote flexibility on Fridays at the manager’s discretion. Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship.

Our client is seeking an Inventory Planner & Purchasing Coordinator to manage inventory forecasting, purchasing, and supplier coordination. This role will forecast inventory needs, create and manage purchase orders, monitor supplier timelines, and help ensure products are available when needed. You’ll also coordinate with the company’s freight partner on incoming shipments, but deep shipping or warehouse experience is not required. This is a great opportunity for someone with inventory planning and purchasing experience who enjoys taking ownership, staying ahead of supply needs, and working closely with vendors and internal teams.

Responsibilities

  • Forecast inventory needs based on demand, sales trends, lead times, and business needs.
  • Monitor inventory levels and identify replenishment needs, shortages, or overages.
  • Create and manage purchase orders with domestic and international suppliers.
  • Manage vendor timelines from purchase order through production and delivery.
  • Communicate with suppliers regarding availability, lead times, and expected delivery dates.
  • Coordinate with the company’s freight partner on incoming international shipments.
  • Track incoming inventory and communicate delays or changes to internal teams.
  • Maintain accurate purchasing and inventory information within internal systems.
  • Partner with warehouse and accounting teams to resolve receiving, inventory, or invoice discrepancies.

Qualifications

  • 1-3+ years of experience in inventory planning, forecasting, replenishment, purchasing, procurement, or supply chain.
  • Experience forecasting inventory needs and managing purchase orders.
  • Experience working directly with vendors and managing supplier lead times.
  • Experience with an ERP, inventory management, or sales-processing system.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel.
  • Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Detail-oriented and comfortable managing multiple priorities and timelines.
  • Proactive and able to independently follow up with vendors and internal teams.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience in retail, consumer products, e-commerce, wholesale, or another inventory-driven business.
  • Familiarity with international shipping and freight, including basic knowledge of LCL and FCL shipments.
  • Experience working with international suppliers, particularly in China or Europe.
  • Experience with Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains.
  • Experience with SalesPad or a similar inventory and sales-processing platform.
  • Experience planning inventory around seasonal or changing demand.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
