About the role
We’re looking for a tech-savvy, adaptable Trade Show Inventory & Systems Manager with hands-on experience in trade show inventory, client properties, exhibits, and event operations to help implement, refine, and optimize a company-wide inventory system. This is a unique opportunity for someone who understands both inventory operations and technology . The inventory system is already substantially developed, and this role will help take it to the next level—working with Operations, warehouse teams, IT, and developers to identify gaps, translate business needs into system improvements, implement changes, and drive adoption across the organization. This is not a software development or programming role. We’re looking for someone who understands how inventory works in the real world and can work effectively with technical teams to make the system work better for the business.
What you'll bring
- 5+ years of experience in inventory, warehouse operations, asset management, logistics, or a related field.
- Hands-on trade show, exhibit, experiential marketing, live event, or similar industry experience is required.
- Experience working with an inventory management system in a real-world operational environment.
- Experience helping implement, improve, refine, or optimize an existing inventory system.
- Strong technical aptitude and the ability to work comfortably with IT and software developers.
- Ability to translate operational requirements into clear system requirements and actionable solutions.
- Experience gathering feedback from users and turning that feedback into process or system improvements.
- Strong Excel skills and experience organizing, preparing, importing, or reconciling inventory data.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across warehouse, operations, technology, and leadership teams.
- Highly adaptable, solutions-oriented, and comfortable working in an environment where systems and processes are continually evolving.
- Ability and willingness to travel throughout the United States and Canada as needed.
- Last but not least, we believe in diversity, equity and inclusion.
