Inventory Analyst

We are looking for an Inventory Analyst to join a growing operation in Batavia, New York. This fully onsite role supports production planning and inventory control for a small manufacturing environment, working closely with leadership to keep orders, materials, and schedules aligned. The position is ideal for someone who is comfortable balancing hands-on plant support with analytical planning and wants to contribute to the long-term growth of the business.

Responsibilities:
• Translate incoming sales demand into practical production plans by identifying required materials, labor needs, and expected completion timelines.
• Maintain accurate inventory records through routine cycle counts, variance reviews, and ongoing reconciliation of stock levels without relying solely on barcode scanning systems.
• Build and update production schedules in Excel or similar tools to track staffing, work hours, material usage, and projected output across the year.
• Review bills of materials to determine component requirements for each order and confirm that enough inventory is available to meet delivery targets.
• Communicate material shortages to the purchasing team so replenishment can be arranged before production is affected.
• Partner closely with the General Manager and production leads to support daily plant coordination and improve operational visibility.
• Monitor beginning inventory, production activity, consumption, and ending balances to support informed planning decisions.
• Provide hands-on support in a small-team environment, contributing to operational needs across the plant as priorities shift.

Qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience in inventory control, including cycle counting, stock accuracy, and inventory reconciliation in a manufacturing or production setting.
• Background in production scheduling, with the ability to estimate labor, timing, and material requirements for customer orders.
• Working knowledge of bills of materials and how they are used to plan manufacturing output and material demand.
• Strong Excel skills and experience entering, updating, or exporting inventory and planning data within business systems.
• Ability to work effectively in a fully onsite role and collaborate closely with plant leadership and production staff.
• Comfortable operating in a growing small-company environment where flexibility, initiative, and a practical mindset are important.
• Bilingual communication skills are helpful but not required.
• Interest in building a long-term career and growing with an expanding division.
