  • Conduct inventory analysis, maintain accurate MRP / ERP data, and oversee cycle counts and reconciliations.
  • Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities in planning, inventory management, and workflow processes.
  • Analyze production and inventory data to support decision-making and reporting.
  • Stay adaptable to seasonal changes, unexpected issues, and shifting priorities.
  • Perform other related tasks as required to support operational efficiency.

  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication abilities, with the capability to work effectively across teams.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Highly organized, self‑motivated, and able to work independently.
  • Experience managing or collaborating with virtual teams is an asset.
  • Positive attitude, team-oriented mindset, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
