Think of your favorite book from childhood. Got it? Great. Now, that warm, joyful feeling you have right now—that’s what we do. Literati is a modern children’s book company focused on building reading skills so kids can grow to be their best selves. We make it easy to find books kids love through school book fairs and book clubs using a unique mix of expert curation and data science. We’re on a mission to help parents ignite a love of learning and a love of life.

As an Inventory Control Coordinator (ICC) you will report to the Production, Labor, and Inventory Regional Manager (with a dotted line to the Fulfillment Center Manager) focused on ensuring we utilize the inventory curation properly. You will play a crucial role in Inventory accuracy, quality control, and inventory execution. 

The ICC's responsibilities are inventory accuracy through cycle counts, annual physical inventory, quality control audits, monitoring, analysis of sales data, advertised and key title monitoring, and executing the inventory plan that has been developed by Corporate. The impact areas for the ICC are revenue growth, Fulfillment Center execution, and ensuring our product is packed per plan to support our fair customers, the young readers everywhere.

To be equitable to all Literatians, we have set compensation and a non-negotiation policy- we don't think a person’s pay should be determined by how comfortable they negotiate. As a result, we like to be transparent and up-front about the compensation. The hourly rate for this role is $20/hr.
