Main Responsibilities

Strategic Opportunity Buys

Speedy & Decisive Action: In this fast-paced environment, you will make purchasing decisions on time-sensitive offers through our Strategic Alliances, Speciality Companies and Vendor network, ensuring we secure market advantages before they disappear.
Continuous Market Monitoring: Monitor the competitive landscape and commodity fluctuations in real-time. You are responsible for ensuring we are competitively positioned allowing our sales team to win at the street level.
Risk & Capacity Management: Manage higher-risk inventory by analyzing volume, DC capacity and market volatility before directing large, opportunistic buys.
Sales & Marketing Synergy: Act as a critical resource for the sales by sourcing unique products and "opportunity buys" that drive incremental customer interest

Risk & Inventory Management

Strategic Coordination: Analyze volume, Distribution Centre (DC) capacity, and market volatility before directing large, high-risk buys.
Cross-Functional Synergy: You are the connective tissue between the Core COP Divisional Merchandising Manager, Sales, Supply Chain and Revenue Management. You must be an exceptional collaborator to ensure opportunity buys are supported and sold through effectively.

COP Contracting Program Management

Supplier-Side Contracting: Act as primary point person with our Strategic Alliances and Specialty Company to secure contracts for key items at volumes and prices that will drive category growth.
Customer-Side Contracting: Manage the division’s protein contracting program for customers. Ensure that supply-side costs align with customer-side commitments to protect margins and ensure reliable distribution.
Contract Performance: Monitor and escalate contract performance issues, ensuring that both vendors and the division meet their volume and pricing obligations.

Portfolio & Vendor Leadership

Diverse Sourcing: Utilize a mix of national partners, strategic alliances, specialty companies and local/regional sources to ensure our portfolio remains market-relevant and competitive.
Contract Negotiation: Lead negotiations with new regional suppliers, collaborating with Strategic Procurement to expand our local footprint.
National/Regional Alignment: Represent the unique needs of the local market to the North American Category Team, ensuring regional agility within national frameworks. You must skillfully balance national strategies with unique regional demands, ensuring our local portfolio is relevant without diverging from long-range company goals.
Seasonal Gap Analysis: Proactively anticipate seasonal demand and commodity cycles by securing supply and cost advantages ahead of peak periods, including executing forward buys when market conditions are favorable. Continuously assess the portfolio for gaps and position inventory in advance of seasonal spikes, balancing service levels with risk while leveraging market insights

Sales Partnership & Customer Engagement

Field-Based Sales Support: Partner with District Sales Managers and Sales Representatives to identify customer opportunities, provide protein expertise, and develop solutions that drive sales, brand, and margin growth.
Customer-Facing Consultations: Support customer meetings, business reviews, and sales calls as the protein subject matter expert
Category Education: Train and coach Sales teams on protein products, market trends, and selling strategies to build confidence and support customer success.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Protein Expertise: 3+ years of deep knowledge in beef, lamb, seafood and poultry, including quality standards and supply chain dynamics.
Commodity Market Fluency: Extensive knowledge of market fluctuations and the ability to interpret data to make timely buying decisions.
Financial & Analytical Acumen: Strong grasp of Margin, Pricing and DC capacity metrics in a perishable goods environment.
Collaboration & Influence: Proven ability to work across multiple teams and influence stakeholders at both the regional and national levels.
The "Intrapreneur" Spirit: A creative thinker who can inject fresh perspectives into the category and drive brand goals.
Tech Savvy: Bachelor’s degree preferred; SAP experience is a significant asset for managing complex inventory and procurement data.
