Stord is rapidly growing and is on track to double our revenue in the next 18 months. To meet and exceed this target, Stord is strategically scaling teams across the entire company, and seeking energetic experts to help us achieve our mission.\nBy combining comprehensive commerce-enablement technology with high-volume fulfillment services, Stord provides brands a platform to compete with retail giants. Stord manages over $10 billion of commerce annually through its fulfillment, warehousing, transportation, and operator-built software suite including OMS, Pre- and Post-Purchase, and WMS platforms. Stord is leveling the playing field for all brands to deliver the best consumer experience at scale.\nWith Stord, brands can increase cart conversion, improve unit economics, and drive sustained customer loyalty. Stord’s end-to-end commerce solutions combine best-in-class omnichannel fulfillment and shipping with leading technology to ensure fast shipping, reliable delivery promises, easy access to more channels, and improved margins on every order.\nHundreds of leading DTC and B2B companies like AG1, True Classic, Native, Seed Health, quip, goodr, Sundays for Dogs, and more trust Stord to deliver industry-leading consumer experiences on every order. Stord is headquartered in Atlanta with facilities across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Stord is backed by top-tier investors including Kleiner Perkins, Franklin Templeton, Founders Fund, Strike Capital, Baillie Gifford, and Salesforce Ventures.\nAbout the RoleStord is looking for a Vice President of Quality to build and lead the quality function across our fulfillment network.\nThis leader will own the systems, standards, and operating mechanisms that ensure inventory is accurate, processes are followed, and every order moves through our network the way it was designed to. The mandate spans the full lifecycle of inventory inside our buildings from inbound receipt and putaway through picking, packing, sorting, and outbound shipment.\nThis is an independent quality function. While our Operations teams are responsible for delivering volume efficiently, the VP of Quality is responsible for ensuring we never achieve speed, growth, or cost improvements by compromising inventory integrity or execution quality.\nThis leader should be an inventory and fulfillment quality expert at heart - someone who understands how inventory moves through a complex fulfillment operation, knows where process breakdowns create downstream failures, and is relentless about identifying and eliminating root causes.\nWhat You'll Own\nInventory Health & Accuracy\nOwn inventory health and accuracy across Stord's fulfillment network.\nEstablish the standards, controls, and operating mechanisms required to maintain book-to-floor and floor-to-book inventory integrity.\nOwn cycle counting, inventory reconciliation, adjustment governance, and inventory variance reduction.\nBuild mechanisms to identify inventory defects early and systematically eliminate their root causes.\nEstablish network-level metrics and reporting that make inventory health visible and actionable.\nFulfillment Process Quality\nOwn process adherence across inbound, receiving, putaway, picking, packing, sorting, and outbound operations.\nDefine the critical quality controls for each process path and ensure sites consistently execute against them.\nBuild audit mechanisms that identify process drift before it becomes a customer or inventory issue.\nPartner with Operations, Product, Engineering, and Data to eliminate systemic sources of defects.\nDevelop a clear view of transaction volume, exception rates, and defect rates by process path to identify where quality is breaking down.\nLot Control & Regulatory Compliance\nOwn lot, expiration-date, and inventory-attribute accuracy across applicable customers and facilities.\nEstablish controls for FIFO, FEFO, lot traceability, recalls, quarantine, and other regulated inventory requirements.\nEnsure Stord's operating processes meet applicable customer, regulatory, and contractual quality requirements.\nBuild a quality organization capable of supporting increasingly complex and regulated categories as Stord grows.\nContinuous Improvement\nBuild a rigorous root-cause and corrective-action discipline across the fulfillment network.\nTurn recurring defects into permanent process, system, or training improvements rather than repeatedly solving individual incidents.\nIdentify network-wide trends and deploy standardized improvements across sites.\nPartner with Product and Engineering to ensure recurring operational defects inform the technology roadmap.\nCreate a culture where defects are surfaced quickly, investigated objectively, and permanently resolved.\nQuality Organization\nBuild and lead Stord's network Quality and Inventory Control organization.\nEstablish clear ownership and accountability between Quality and Operations.\nDevelop site and regional quality leaders capable of independently auditing operational performance.\nServe as the executive escalation point when inventory integrity, regulatory compliance, or fulfillment quality is at risk.\nMaintain an independent point of view and be willing to stop, challenge, or redesign processes when quality standards are not being met.\nWhat We're Looking For\nWe are looking for someone who has spent their career inside large, complex fulfillment or distribution operations and understands inventory at a level most operators do not.\nThe ideal candidate:\nHas 12+ years of experience across fulfillment quality, inventory control, operational excellence, distribution, or supply chain operations, including significant leadership experience.\nHas led quality or inventory control across a multi-site fulfillment or distribution network.\nComes from a scaled 3PL, retailer, e-commerce fulfillment network, food distribution company, or similarly complex physical operation.\nIs deeply fluent in inventory control, WMS-driven processes, cycle counting, reconciliation, lot control, and inventory accuracy.\nUnderstands the mechanics of inbound, putaway, pick, pack, sort, and outbound processes - and how defects in one process create downstream failures elsewhere.\nHas built quality systems based on data, audits, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and measurable defect reduction.\nIs comfortable challenging Operations leadership when execution does not meet the required standard.\nHas operated in environments where quality and compliance cannot be traded for throughput or cost.\nIdeally brings experience from food, grocery, pharmaceutical, healthcare, or another environment with rigorous lot, expiration, traceability, or regulatory requirements.\nCan operate strategically at the executive level while still being willing to go onto the warehouse floor, trace an inventory discrepancy through a WMS, and understand exactly where a process failed.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6992,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":12,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Commerce","Logistics","Warehousing","Supply Chain & Logistics Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-19T09:27:20Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 11 · green card filings: 2","filings_12m":11,"filings_prev_12m":5,"green_card_filings_12m":2,"median_offered_wage_usd":120962,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":32,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.589,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":36,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:5","stale_co","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/stord-vp-inventory-control-quality-assurance","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/stord-vp-inventory-control-quality-assurance.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T20:18:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":27563,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5812},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5812"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fstord-vp-inventory-control-quality-assurance"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fstord-vp-inventory-control-quality-assurance"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fstord-vp-inventory-control-quality-assurance"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/stord-vp-inventory-control-quality-assurance\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fstord-vp-inventory-control-quality-assurance"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2841960}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"stord.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2841960},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
