Description

The Role

The Receiving Coordinator is a storewide operational linchpin. While the role is primarily aligned with our Grocery department and reports to the Grocery Manager, our Receiving Coordinator receives and delivers product for all departments — Grocery, Produce, Café, and beyond. Accurate, timely receiving is the foundation of a well-run store, and this role is at the center of it.

 

We’re looking for someone who is organized, physically capable, and detail-oriented — someone who takes pride in getting it right every time a truck pulls up to the dock. Early morning availability and a reliable, proactive work ethic are essential.

What You’ll Do

  • Receive and verify all incoming deliveries against invoices and purchase orders — checking quantities, product condition, expiration dates, and quality.
  • Inspect deliveries from UNFI, local producers, and direct delivery accounts; process credits, returns, and discrepancies accurately.
  • Label, date, and route received product to the correct department in a timely and organized manner.
  • Rotate stock using FIFO method; assist with stocking center store shelves and back stocking overflow.
  • Enter received goods accurately into the Catapult POS inventory system; maintain organized receiving records and documentation.
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized receiving dock, back room, and walk-in storage areas.
  • Operate pallet jacks and hand trucks safely; communicate low stock, discrepancies, and delivery issues to the Grocery Manager and relevant buyers promptly.
  • Assist with periodic inventory counts as requested.
