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.
