Commercial Analyst & Project Manager
Original Foods | Niagara Region, ON | Full-Time, On-Site
About the Role
Original Foods is a growing food manufacturer based in the Niagara Region. We are looking for a driven and versatile individual to join our commercial team in a role that combines analytical rigor, project coordination, and customer-facing responsibilities.
This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys working across functions — equally comfortable building a costing model, managing a customer relationship, or keeping a cross-functional project on track. We are open to candidates at different stages of their career: what matters most is your potential, your curiosity, and your desire to make an impact in a fast-paced food manufacturing environment.
What You Will Do
- Pricing & Commercial Analysis
- Develop and maintain product costing models and pricing frameworks
- Prepare pricing proposals and cost justifications for customer discussions
- Analyze customer and SKU profitability to support commercial decisions
- Support price increase submissions with clear, data-driven rationale
- Build ad hoc analyses and business cases as needed by the commercial team
Project Management
- Coordinate cross-functional projects involving sales, operations, and finance
- Track project timelines, deliverables, and action items
- Follow up with internal stakeholders to ensure deadlines are met
- Support new product launches and customer onboarding from a commercial perspective
Sales Administration & Account Support
- Manage a portfolio of smaller customer accounts, serving as primary point of contact
- Prepare quotes, proposals, and commercial documentation
- Maintain pricing records, customer files, and commercial databases
- Support the sales team with reporting, meeting preparation, and follow-up
- Liaise with operations and logistics to ensure customer requirements are met
- Manage the CRM
What We Are Looking For
We are not looking for a specific number of years of experience — we are looking for the right person. You might be a recent graduate with strong analytical skills and a hunger to learn, or an experienced professional looking for a broader, more impactful role.
You Will Thrive Here If You Are:
- Analytically strong — comfortable with numbers, costing, and building models in Excel
- Organized and detail-oriented — you follow through and nothing falls through the cracks
- A clear communicator — able to explain pricing and costing to customers in plain language
- A self-starter — you take ownership and do not wait to be told what to do next
- Curious and adaptable — you enjoy variety and are not looking for a narrow, repetitive role
Assets:
- Experience in food manufacturing, CPG, or a related industry
- Familiarity with ERP and CRM systems
- Background in pricing, finance, or business analysis
- Experience managing customer accounts or supporting a sales team
Education
A post-secondary degree or diploma in Business, Commerce, Finance, or a related field is preferred. Equivalent experience will be considered.
