with physical inventory.Item Master Accuracy: New items are created completely and consistently without unnecessary duplicates.Compliance: Cannabis receipts and records meet METRC, CRA, and internal documentation requirements.Timeliness: Receipts are processed promptly so inventory is available to downstream operations without unnecessary delays.Audit Readiness: Receiving documentation can be readily produced and traced from physical product through invoice, manifest, and system transaction.Key CompetenciesAccuracy First: Understands that a receiving error can become an inventory,

resolution.Systems Discipline: Enters information accurately and consistently rather than creating workarounds.Compliance Mindset: Understands that cannabis inventory requires documented

receiving record: what was ordered, what shipped, what physically arrived, what the manifest states, what the invoice states, and what was entered into company systems.The Inventory Receiving Specialist should not serve as the final approver of vendor invoices for payment. Accounting should use the verified receiving record as an independent control when determining whether an invoice is approved for payment.The position reports to the Supply Chain Manager and works closely with Accounting and Compliance to resolve discrepancies and maintain accurate, audit-ready records.Why This Role MattersEvery product entering Gramazon / DACUT creates a chain of information that affects inventory, operations, compliance, and financial reporting. The Inventory Receiving Specialist is responsible for making sure that chain begins correctly.If the product, invoice, manifest, and system record do not agree, the receiving process is not complete.Strong candidates may come from cannabis receiving/inventory, automotive materials and receiving, manufacturing inventory control, warehouse receiving, pharmaceutical or food production, or other controlled environments where accurate reconciliation of physical product and system documentation is essential.Candidates with strong receiving and inventory-control fundamentals should be considered even without prior cannabis experience when they demonstrate the ability to learn regulated systems, maintain disciplined documentation, and investigate discrepancies.What We OfferCompetitive compensation based on experienceMedical, dental, and vision insurancePaid Time OffEmployee discount programStable full-time employmentCareer advancement opportunities within a growing organizationCross-functional exposure to Supply Chain, Accounting, Compliance, Retail, Cultivation, and ProcessingCollaborative, fast-paced work environmentApply TodayIf you're highly organized, detail-oriented, and understand the importance of getting inventory right the first time, we'd love to hear from you.
