About ALSO.
We’re ALSO, an electric mobility company originally conceived as a part of Rivian. We’re a passionate team of builders, dreamers, doers and innovators, focused on creating entirely new (not to mention, innovative and delightful) vertically integrated, small EVs designed to meet the global mobility challenges of today and tomorrow. Our mission is to inspire everyone to ride ALSO—replacing many local car, truck and SUV miles with ones on vehicles that are more affordable, more enjoyable and 10-50x more efficient.
ALSO is seeking a detail-oriented Inventory Control Lead to own inventory accuracy and control at our outsourced contract manufacturers located in Taiwan. This role is critical to ensuring inventory movements—from component receipt through production consumption to finished goods—are accurately tracked, reconciled, and controlled. The ideal candidate will work closely with the CM's warehouse and production teams to enforce inventory discipline, resolve discrepancies, and maintain reliable inventory data that supports production planning, finance, and supply chain decision-making.
What You’ll Do
Own day-to-day oversight of inventory transactions at the CMs, including goods receipt, production output/consumption, and scrap/rework reporting
Ensure all inventory movements are recorded accurately and timely in the relevant ERP/WMS systems
Track component receipt-to-consumption flow to ensure inventory records match physical usage, identifying and resolving variances
Periodically reconcile inventory balances between NetSuite (ERP) and onhand balances at CMs
Monitor and audit the CMs adherence to FIFO methodology to ensure components are pulled and consumed in the correct order
Partner closely with CMs to evaluate how their WMS can be leveraged to maintain accurate, real-time inventory balances; help define and establish the right process/system integration between ALSO’s systems and the CMs’ WMS
Maintain accurate inventory records and generate regular reporting on inventory accuracy, discrepancy trends, and aging/obsolescence
Partner with the OSM, purchasing, planning, and finance teams to identify root causes of recurring discrepancies and implement process improvements
Lead and perform periodic cycle counts and physical inventory counts to ensure accuracy of on-hand inventory levels
Support Inventory Accounting Team in other ad-hoc requests as needed
What You’ll Bring
This role is based in Taipei, with a majority of working time spent on-site at the CMs facility to directly oversee inventory operations
Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Business, or related field (or equivalent experience)
3+ years of experience in inventory accounting, materials management, or supply chain coordination - experience with outsourced/contract manufacturing strongly preferred
Working knowledge of inventory control principles (FIFO, cycle count, physical inventory counts, and account reconciliations)
Experience with NetSuite ERP preferred
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with high attention to detail
Excellent communication skills; able to work cross-functionally and cross-culturally with an overseas manufacturing partner
Comfortable working across time zones; this role is based in Taiwan but reports to the Accounting team in the US, requiring flexibility for overlapping meeting hours and cross-time-zone communication
Fluency in both Taiwanese and English
Perks & Benefits
We offer competitive perks and benefits for every global role.
Why ALSO.
We’re passionate about helping the world find a better way to get there—wherever it is you’re headed.
We’re located in the heart of Silicon Valley and have brought together a world-class team from some of the biggest brands in the technology, automotive, cycling, outdoor recreation and retail spaces.
Together we’re working hands-on to imagine, design and build an entirely new solution to a global set of transportation challenges.
