The Role

Being an Inventory Specialist at dbrand means playing in the big leagues. We’re talking over 40,000 SKUs, all meticulously tracked and accounted for, and it’s up to you to ensure that chaos doesn’t take over. You’ll need a sharp eye for detail and an analytical brain to solve problems on the fly—because let’s be real, things rarely go perfectly. As our in-house production churns out merchandise, you’ll thrive in making sure every item ends up exactly where it needs to be, right when it’s needed.

Where others might get buried under bins and barcodes, you rise above. Your reward? Aside from nailing every target, you get to enjoy the praise of our millions of fans when they receive their orders perfectly packed and on time. They may not know you by name, but they’ll feel your impact in every unboxing video, tweet, or Reddit post that praises the smooth process. That’s because you’re the one who made sure their product was in stock, in the right place, at the right time.

Does that sound like you? Not yet—but we can change that. Whether or not you’ve got prior experience, we care more about your problem-solving skills, your attention to detail, and your ability to adapt to the chaos. If that’s you, then stick around. If not, well… you know what to do.
