THE OPPORTUNITY
The Inventory Flow Manager owns the flow of Billy Reid product and orders, from inbound receipts to delivery, across wholesale, e-commerce, and retail replenishment. The role keeps orders accurate, on time, and compliant, and is the day-to-day link between customers, the fulfillment partner, and internal teams.
Success is measured on inventory accuracy across systems, fill rate, on-time delivery and minimizing retailer chargebacks.

- Support customer service on order status, split shipments, backorders, and exceptions.
Fulfillment and Inventory
- Serve as the main contact with the third-party fulfillment partner on order release, priorities, and shipping cutoffs.

- Monitor short-ships, cancellations, and backorders; drive corrective action with the fulfillment partner.
- Coordinate returns with the returns platform and fulfillment partner so credits and restocks are timely and accurate.
- Manage store packaging supply requests and fulfillment, support fulfillment partner with monitoring supply inventory levels and initiate reorders.
Systems and Reporting
- Keep order, shipment, and inventory data in sync across the ERP, e-commerce platform, and WMS; reconcile discrepancies.
- Produce weekly reporting on open orders, fill rate, on-time shipment, chargebacks, and returns.
