Inventory Control Specialist – Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)

$26.00 / hour | Full-Time | Growth-Focused Role

Ready to take your analytical skills to one of the busiest airports in the country? At SSP America, we’re looking for a detail-driven, systems-savvy Inventory Control Specialist to help keep our culinary operations running smoothly across SEA. If you love problem-solving, accuracy, and being the calm in the operational storm — this role is your runway.

What You’ll Do

As the Inventory Control Specialist, you’ll be the go-to expert ensuring every product, recipe, and cost line is exactly where it’s supposed to be. You’ll support the SeaTac airport’s Director of Operations and work closely with unit leaders to keep inventory accurate, costs aligned, and systems clean. This job operates in the SeaTac airport environment, both pre and post-security, in Seattle, Washington.

You will:

• Manage purchasing and inventory data in our Inventory Management System, ensuring accuracy in invoices, data entry, and reconciliation.
• Analyze inventory levels, transfers, waste, production, and invoicing to identify trends and opportunities.
• Maintain POS item data and support recipe/menu cost reviews.
• Train new system users and support inventory-related system requests.
• Lead weekly inventory controls and help reinforce excellent operational discipline.
• Serve as a key partner between operations, procurement, and corporate inventory support.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• You thrive on accuracy, detail, and solving operational puzzles.
• You’ve worked with inventory control, preferably in a restaurant or hospitality environment.
• You’re comfortable analyzing data and using tools like Excel to tell the story behind the numbers.
• You’re adaptable, organized, and calm under pressure — even when things move fast (and they do in an airport).
• You enjoy partnering with cross-functional teams and training others.

Minimum Qualifications:

• High School Diploma required; Associate’s Degree a plus
• 2+ years of inventory control and/or restaurant experience
• Strong computer skills (especially Excel)
• Experience with Micros or other POS systems preferred
• Ability to work independently and prioritize in a dynamic environment

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Competitive hourly rate
• Growth opportunities within a global hospitality organization
• Hands-on exposure to high-volume culinary operations
• The chance to directly impact cost controls, efficiency, and guest experience across multiple SEA locations

This is an excellent role for someone who loves bringing order to complexity — and wants to grow their operations, finance, or systems career within a busy airport environment.

If accuracy energizes you, and you love seeing your work drive real operational results, we’d love to meet you. Apply today and join SSP America at SEA!
