This role is perfect for a proactive individual who thrives on optimizing processes and collaborating with various departments. Our client is looking for someone who can step in as an overflow specialist , supporting diverse projects and bringing a fresh set of eyes to identify opportunities for enhanced efficiency and streamlined operations.

Your responsibilities will be broad and impactful, covering the entire spectrum of their supply chain :

  • End-to-End Procurement & Supplier Management : You'll be responsible for sourcing, evaluating, and onboarding suppliers, maintaining approved lists, and managing Purchase Orders. This includes negotiating pricing, Incoterms, MOQs, and payment terms, as well as monitoring supplier performance to ensure optimal quality and on-time delivery.
  • International & Domestic Logistics Coordination : From planning and booking shipments to selecting carriers and optimizing freight modes (LTL / FTL / parcel / air / ocean), you'll ensure the smooth flow of goods. Expertise in preparing shipping documents, managing customs brokerage, and ensuring import / export compliance (CBSA, HS codes, CUSMA, Incoterms) is crucial.
  • Accurate Customer Order Data Entry & Service : You'll play a critical role in ensuring customer satisfaction by meticulously entering and validating orders, confirming acknowledgements, and proactively communicating any changes or backorders. Your customer-centric approach will be key in coordinating special requirements with sales and customer service teams.
  • Inventory & Planning Support : You'll contribute to efficient inventory management by monitoring levels, recommending replenishment strategies, and collaborating with production and planning teams to minimize shortages.
  • Continuous Improvement & Compliance : Our client values innovation. You'll be empowered to identify and implement process improvements that reduce lead times, mitigate inventory risk, and optimize logistics costs. Ensuring compliance with internal controls, quality standards, and OH&S / WSIB requirements will also be a key part of your role.

Who Our Client is Looking For :

  • Experienced Professional : 3-5+ years in purchasing, logistics, or supply chain management, with a preference for manufacturing or distribution environments.
  • Logistics Expert : Solid understanding of Incoterms, CBSA import procedures, CUSMA, HS classification, and brokerage.
  • Negotiation & Vendor Management Pro : Proven ability to negotiate effectively and manage supplier relationships for optimal performance.
  • Tech-Savvy : Proficient with ERP / MRP systems (e.g., Sage X3, Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, NetSuite) and advanced Excel functions (VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables).
  • Customer-Focused : A strong commitment to providing excellent customer service and fostering positive relationships.
  • Collaborative & Communicative : Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills, enabling effective teamwork with Sales, Warehouse, Finance, and Production.
  • Proactive Problem-Solver : A self-starter with a solution-oriented mindset, eager to drive improvements and streamline processes.
  • Adaptable & Resilient : Comfortable managing high volumes and overflow tasks in a dynamic, fast-paced team environment.
  • Industry Insight (Bonus!) : While not strictly required, similar experience within the residential and commercial HVAC space would be highly beneficial and valued by our client.
  • Why This Opportunity?

    This is a fantastic chance to join a supportive and collaborative team where your contributions will be highly visible and directly impact the company's success. Our client fosters an environment where new ideas are welcomed, and you'll have the opportunity to implement tangible improvements that enhance efficiency and inter-departmental cohesion.

    USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – BY RECRUITERS & HIRING MANAGERS

    At The Talent Company, people are at the center of our recruitment process. While we may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools for limited administrative purposes (such as writing creative outreach messages, summarizing interview notes or transcribing reference checks) AI is never the decision maker. Resumes and candidate information are personally reviewed by our recruiters, and all hiring decisions are made by people who bring judgment, care, and expertise to each match. If a client’s recruitment process involves a greater degree of AI use during their own interviews or assessments, we will communicate that to short-listed candidates so they are aware in advance. Our commitment is to use technology responsibly, while ensuring fairness, transparency, and respect at every stage of the process.

    USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – BY CANDIDATES

    We recognize that candidates may choose to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support their job search, for example, to refine writing style or gather research. While this can be appropriate, the information you provide in your resume, screening questions, and interviews must always be truthful and accurately reflect your own experience, knowledge, and competencies. AI should never be used to create or exaggerate credentials. Our goal is to understand the real you – your skills, your story, and your potential – so that we can make the best possible match between you and the organizations we serve.

    ACCOMMODATION & INCLUSIVITY At The Talent Company, we recognize the value of different perspectives and experiences in prompting innovation, sparking creativity, and solving problems. As an equal employment opportunity organization, we do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment based on race, Aboriginal peoples, members of visible minorities, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, persons with disabilities and all other categories protected by law.

    We are committed to Equal Opportunities and welcome applications from all sections of the community. Please let us know by emailing if an adjustment or adaptation is required at any stage to support you during the recruitment journey.
