Hey, we're Glacier! Series A startup based in San Francisco tackling one of the world's most pressing problems: trash. Did you know that in the US, we send over half of our recyclables to the landfill? We're working to fix that. In doing so, we'll also be reducing carbon emissions, energy consumption, and depletion of natural resources.
Glacier builds custom sorting robots designed to sort apart recyclables as well as AI-powered business analytics that enable recyclers to superpower their plants and improve our society's circularity. Our technology has been recognized as one of TIME's Best Inventions and featured in a TIME documentary, TechCrunch, Fortune, and CBS.
We're looking for an organized, proactive, and dependable Inventory & Facilities Coordinator to join our San Francisco team. You'll be the operational backbone of our office and shop floor, ensuring our team has the parts, tools, and environment they need to build and deploy robots without interruption. This role reports to our Production Manager.
Responsibilities:
You will own our inventory and facilities operations. Detailed responsibilities include:
Manage end-to-end inventory operations including parts receiving, cycle counts, and system updates for product releases
Execute basic purchasing for production and field service and assist with strategic sourcing of parts
Design and implement new inventory and procurement processes to eliminate production delays
Manage daily shop floor organization and ensure a clean, safe, and efficient workspace
Order and maintain consumables including office, shipping, and PPE supplies
Coordinate with vendors, contractors, and maintenance staff to ensure the facility is maintained and in operable condition
Experience requirements:
2+ years of experience in inventory management, shop operations, or a related role
Demonstrated experience implementing or working with inventory management systems
Experience with parts receiving, cycle counts, and procurement in a hardware or manufacturing environment
Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain accurate records consistently
Comfortable working in a hands-on, shop floor environment alongside engineers and technicians
What traits will make you successful in this role:
Dependable and detail oriented — you notice recurring bottlenecks and act on them before they become problems
Strong time management and prioritization — you understand business impact and ensure critical tasks get done first
Problem solver — you track down missing parts, correct receiving errors, and find quick fixes for broken equipment without waiting to be asked
Process improvement mindset — you do not just identify inefficiencies, you fix them
Tech savvy — you pick up inventory management software, AI tools, and spreadsheet tools quickly and use them to work accurately and efficiently
Bonus points:
Experience in a hardware startup or manufacturing environment
Familiarity with barcode, RFID, or other physical inventory tracking systems
Forklift certified
The cash compensation range for this role is $70,000 to $110,000. In addition to cash compensation, Glacier also offers competitive equity compensation and benefits. The final compensation for this role will depend on many individualized factors including job-related skills and knowledge, experience level, interview performance, and other factors.

Glacier's mission is to end waste. Sound ambitious? We agree. But the UN estimates that we only have until 2030 to change our consumption patterns before we do irreversible damage to the environment, so we’re of the opinion that now is the time for big bets. We’re starting in the world of recycling, which has a huge opportunity for impact. Americans send 1.4 million tons of waste to recycling facilities every week (that’s about 4 Empire State Buildings, or 1.5 Golden Gate Bridges). We’re also really bad at it: 25% of what we put in our recycling bins isn’t even recyclable. These recycling facilities make a living by sorting our jumbled-up waste and they need to do it cheaply and accurately. Otherwise they go out of business and our recycling goes straight to the landfill. Even so, recycling facilities today use processes that are highly manual, expensive, and error prone. We plan to revolutionize the way these facilities use technology, to make them more streamlined, accurate, and profitable - which means more recyclables avoid the landfill, and more of our natural resources are protected. Our growing team draws from the brightest and most passionate professionals across robotics, manufacturing, software, AI, and market strategy. We’re united by our deep-rooted passion to make a big environmental impact, and we’re looking for other mission-driven, creative thinkers to help us right the ship on this truly global issue.
