  • Oversee multi-facility operations or a large, complex manufacturing network, ensuring strong performance, food safety, and continuous improvement across all sites.
  • Partner closely with retail customers across key product categories to ensure quality, consistency, innovation, and reliable production outcomes.
  • Develop and empower a strong senior leadership team, fostering alignment, accountability, and a shared vision for the future.

To be successful, you should have the following in your background :

  • A food industry background as a seasoned operational or commercial executive
  • A track record as a well-rounded change leader able to think big, guide transformation, and communicate a clear and compelling strategy.
  • Experience overseeing large-scale or multi-site manufacturing operations.
  • A leadership style grounded in people-first principles, with the ability to build trust while introducing necessary systems and improvements.
  • Strong understanding of modern processes, technology, and operational best practices within food manufacturing.
  • Openness to relocating to British Columbia if currently based elsewhere; candidates across Canada are encouraged to express interest.
  • This role is based in the Vancouver Lower Mainland. Compensation will reflect the scope of the role and the executive-level experience you bring.
