You can look at all kinds of communities to see our platform’s impact in the world. It's the retailer that uses our agentic AI to deter theft before it happens. The warehouse that uses AI-powered alerts to make sure its team is protected on the floor with proper PPE. The school that’s alerted to a threat in real-time and triggers a lockdown in seconds, not minutes. We’re rapidly scaling this impact: today, more than 2 million Verkada devices are deployed across 170+ countries.

4. Inventory Management & Network Optimization
- Manage and balance local office trial inventory pools across multiple global entities (including regions such as Mexico, Singapore, Australia, South Korea, and UAE).
- Partner closely with the Global Supply Chain planning teams to monitor and maintain optimal inventory levels across non-US Third-Party Logistics (3PL) fulfillment sites.
- Drive warehouse and transportation efficiencies by collaborating with Joint Development Manufacturers (JDMs) and carriers on pallet optimization, container utilization, and physical footprint reduction initiatives.
What You Bring

- Experience: 3–5+ years of progressive experience in international logistics, freight forwarding coordination, or global supply chain operations.
- Industry Knowledge: Solid understanding of maritime and air freight structures, Incoterms 2020, customs clearance protocols, and multi-country 3PL environments.
- Systems Proficiency: Direct experience working with modern global ERP software, automated procurement/invoice approval workflow tools, and standard freight audit systems.
- Analytical Skills: High data literacy; ability to analyze carrier data, validate performance metrics, and translate numbers into operational optimizations (e.g., volumetric pallet configuration).
- Compliance & Sustainability: Familiarity with global environmental compliance reporting (EPR/WEEE) or specialized global trade compliance setups (IOR/EOR) is highly advantageous.
