  • Leverage modern AI and digital tools to streamline data workflows, enhance reporting efficiency, and accelerate departmental capabilities
  • Conduct rigorous quote comparisons within approved supplier frameworks
  • Regularly review supplier agreements to identify cost-saving opportunities, efficiency gains, and margin improvements
  • Ensure all purchased goods meet strict quality standards and adhere to applicable regulatory requirements (such as CFIA)

Requirements

  • Post-secondary education in Supply Chain, Business, Agriculture, or equivalent practical experience is required
  • Strong procurement experience with a proven track record of handling high-volume purchasing, time-sensitive industries (e.g., agriculture, horticulture, manufacturing, or distribution) is highly valued
  • Comfortable working with ERP, inventory systems, and modern purchasing tools
  • Advanced Excel Skills: Proficient in data analysis using VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, advanced formulas, and managing large datasets
  • Strong understanding of calculating total landed costs and protecting company margins
  • Clear, professional communicator who can seamlessly collaborate across multiple internal departments and external networks
  • Highly detail-oriented, organized under seasonal pressure, and comfortable managing natural product variability while minimizing surprises
