The opportunity

Operations here are good; we hired an Inventory Manager because good is a starting line, and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt is how we cross the next one. The manager role rewards what you've built — 7 years of Time Management — with $125,000 - $193,000 and a voice in Kohls strategy.

Key Responsibilities

  • Analyze customer and sales data to surface actionable trends
  • Rebuild a target that the CA team stopped believing in
  • Facilitate cross-departmental projects from kickoff through delivery
  • Optimize the supply chain to balance cost, speed, and reliability
  • Identify growth opportunities in the Downey, CA market and beyond
  • Evaluate new initiatives through rigorous business cases and ROI analysis
  • Liaise with legal and compliance to keep business practices sound

What You'll Bring

  • Solid understanding of business best practices and industry standards
  • A Kohls mindset: scrappy today, scalable tomorrow
  • 8+ years owning outcomes, not just completing tasks
  • A CA sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
  • Experience at the manager level inside a temporary role
  • 6+ years of Lean Six Sigma Black Belt reps, not just Lean Six Sigma Black Belt exposure
  • 7 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it

Half the business platforms in CA quietly depend on something Kohls built in Downey with steady-handed care. We celebrate the person who asks the dumb question that saves the whole business project.

We reward your Analytical Thinking with $125,000 - $193,000, surround it with mentorship and benefits, and let your schedule flex around Downey.

Right now, today, this seat at Kohls is genuinely empty and waiting.
