About You :

You bring a solid background in supply chain, procurement, or operations management, with particular strength in inventory and materials planning. Experience in a manufacturing environment is valuable, as you understand the complexities of production workflows, BOMs, and supplier coordination in that context. You’re a confident and collaborative people leader, capable of guiding team members with clarity and accountability, and you’re energized by developing talent and creating high-performing teams.

You’re also highly analytical and data-driven, always looking for ways to improve systems, processes, and outcomes. You have hands-on experience with ERP systems—Syspro being a strong asset—and you’re eager to become a subject matter expert in the tools that drive procurement and planning efficiency. Cross-functional collaboration comes naturally to you, and you’re equally comfortable working with Engineering, Production, and external suppliers to keep things running smoothly.

At Venor and SureShot Solutions, we embrace a culture of belonging in the workplace. No matter who you are, where you’re from, how you think, what you believe in, or who you love, we welcome your application. We all come from different backgrounds and different walks of life, bringing in unique perspectives and experiences. We encourage applications from 2SLGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC), women, newcomers to Canada, and people with disabilities.
