  • Coordinate activities across Vendor, third party recycling agency, Product Development, Regulatory, Sourcing, and Design Team.
  • Proactively identify risks, follow up on outstanding items, and keep projects moving forward.

Online Content Management

  • Coordinate with the third‑party agency to track online content updates and ensure new artwork is published online

Must Have

  • Bachelor's degree in Food Science, Food Technology, Nutrition, or a related discipline.
  • 0–2 years of experience in food product development, QA, regulatory affairs, or the food manufacturing/CPG industry is an asset.
  • Strong organizational and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and the ability to quickly learn new specification and artwork management systems.
  • A collaborative, proactive approach and a willingness to learn.

Nice to Have

  • Knowledge of Canadian food regulations and food labelling requirements.
  • Familiarity with product specification management systems (e.g. HIVE, TraceGains, Genesis, etc.).
  • Experience with Nutrition Facts Tables, ingredient declarations, allergens, and product claims.
  • Exposure to private label products or consumer packaged goods.

Why You’ll Want This Job

  • Gain hands‑on experience across product development, regulatory affairs, packaging, and commercialization.
  • Work on products that reach grocery shelves across Canada.
  • Collaborate with experienced Product Development, Regulatory, and Design professionals.
