The role primarily focuses on the efficient management of inbound freight, requiring a keen eye for detail when identifying and comparing vendor packing slips and carrier shipping documents with purchase orders. Successful candidates will be responsible for scheduling deliveries and pre-posting information into the receiving system, which is vital for smooth daily operations.

The role requires continuous communication with other Freight Team members and the Fulfillment Team to ensure products are correctly placed and in-stock levels are accurately reported. Proficiency in using store systems and tools to identify product, article, and vendor information, along with product location and store layout, is essential for providing high-quality service to customers.
