Inventory Specialist

At Houston Methodist, the Inventory Specialist sits where finance, product, and operations collide, translating chaos into a plan people can fund. This freelance opening offers $62,000 - $86,000, the autonomy to run your own projects, and a team invested in your development.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee budgeting cycles and hold teams accountable to spending targets
• Carry a boldly-pragmatic business problem from whiteboard to working pilot in Milwaukee, WI
• Stress-test the forecast against the WI scenario nobody wants
• Flag the assumption in the plan that everything else quietly rests on
• Coach mid-level stakeholders through the math behind a hard reallocation
• Evaluate new initiatives through rigorous business cases and ROI analysis

What You'll Bring

• Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
• Real Incoterms chops, plus the Transportation Management curiosity to keep growing
• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
• Comfort being measured against a clear mid-level bar
• A WI sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market

The story of Houston Methodist is really the story of Milwaukee, WI betting on an underdog-spirited idea about business and being proven right. We give people autonomy early and trust them to ask for support when they need it.
