Job Description:

Discontinued and Slow Moving Product Strategy Manager



Are you a strategic problem-solver who thrives on identifying inefficiencies and turning them into opportunities? We're looking for an Inventory Recovery & Closeout Strategy Manager to take control of our discontinued and slow-moving inventory (SMOG) and lead the charge to systemize, reduce, and profit from it.



This high-impact role will identify slow-moving and obsolete products, build a system to track and manage them, and work across sales, marketing, e-commerce, and external channels to move this inventory fast - and profitably. You'll be both the detective and the deal-closer, empowered to build new programs, find unconventional buyers, and create lasting solutions to ensure SMOG is never a drag on our business again.



This is not a back-office inventory role - it's a cross-functional, strategic, and action-oriented position with clear goals and huge potential impact.

Responsibilities:
--- Analyze and identify discontinued, slow-moving, and pre-dropped inventory across the business
--- Build and manage an SMOG tracking and reporting system in coordination with purchasing, finance, and operations
--- Develop and implement sales, marketing, and e-commerce strategies to sell SMOG products quickly and profitably
--- Partner with sales teams and store managers to create closeout campaigns and bundles for customers
--- Create or manage listings on e-commerce platforms (Amazon, Wayfair, Overstock, eBay, etc.) and develop new channels for liquidation
--- Build relationships with bulk buyers, liquidators, contractors, and third-party sellers
--- Negotiate deals to maximize recovery and minimize warehouse drag
--- Collaborate with the marketing team to build campaigns and promotions targeting SMOG items
--- Build a repeatable, scalable system for identifying and dealing with SMOG on an ongoing basis
--- Report on progress, wins, revenue recovered, and opportunities for improvement

Qualifications:
--- 3-5+ years of experience in inventory management, sales strategy, e-commerce, purchasing, or operations
--- Strong skills in data analysis, strategic thinking, and creative problem-solving
--- Knowledge of product liquidation, discount sales, or e-commerce marketplaces is a plus
--- Strong communicator and cross-functional collaborator
--- Ability to manage projects independently, work with urgency, and follow through
--- Comfortable with inventory systems, CRMs, and basic reporting tools
--- Bonus: Experience in building materials, home improvement, or distribution industries
