Associate/Analyst DC Waste
The DC Waste Analyst – FF/3PL is a specialized version of the DC Waste Analyst role focused on waste identification and mitigation within Factor's fulfillment and third-party logistics network. Rather than a single DC floor, you'll work across external fulfillment and 3PL sites — monitoring inventory utilization, flagging at-risk product, and partnering with 3PL operators to reduce waste before it occurs.
Responsibilities
- Monitor inventory positions and product utilization across FF and 3PL partner sites to identify waste risk in real time
- Coordinate with 3PL operators and Factor's internal logistics team to intervene on at-risk inventory — including near-expiry product, excess stock, and slow-moving SKUs
- Track and document waste events across the FF/3PL network, including root cause and resolution
- Support waste projection modeling by providing accurate, timely data on inventory status across external sites
- Analyze cross-site waste trends within the FF/3PL network and surface patterns to the Waste Manager
- Maintain inventory data accuracy for FF/3PL positions in ERP/WMS systems; flag discrepancies promptly
- Partner with the 3PL Strategy team and DC Waste Manager on network-level waste reduction initiatives
- Contribute to regular waste reporting cadences with data from FF and 3PL locations
Required Qualifications
- 2+ years in supply chain operations, inventory management, or logistics — preferably with exposure to 3PL or external fulfillment environments
- Comfort navigating external partner relationships and working in settings without direct site authority
- Strong analytical skills with proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and inventory reporting tools
- Working knowledge of ERP/WMS systems and inventory control principles
- Bachelor's degree in supply chain, Business, Logistics, or a related field preferred
You’ll get…
- Competitive hourly rate, 401K company match that vests immediately upon participation, & team bonus opportunities
- Generous PTO and flexible attendance policy
- Comprehensive health and wellness benefits with options at $0 monthly, effective first day of employment
- Up to 85% discount on subscriptions to HelloFresh meal plans (HelloFresh, Green Chef, Everyplate, and Factor_)
- Access to Employee Resource Groups that are open to all employees, including those pertaining to BIPOC, women, veterans, parents, and LGBTQ+
- Inclusive, collaborative, and dynamic work environment within a fast-paced, mission-driven company that is disrupting the traditional food supply chain
