Job Type: Regular

People are at the heart of our success. Our culture encourages collaboration, transparency, and accountability to generate value and achieve sustainable results. Being part of the team means committing to an environment where everyone's impact truly matters.

At Agropur, every role directly contributes to key outcomes. Performance is measured by impact and value created-not by the number of actions taken.

The Finance Business Partner will have a 360-degree view of the category. As a key member of the category finance team, this individual will act as a change agent and contribute to achieving the category's financial objectives. Their primary mandate will be to work closely with both the category and sales teams to improve profitability through initiatives such as optimizing volume and product mix, implementing price increases, supporting contract renewals, managing investments, and improving manufacturing and delivery costs.

An environment that enables you to focus on what truly matters:

• Recognition of years of service for vacation calculation;
• Flexible group insurance plan including telemedicine services;
• Employee assistance program;
• Opportunities to invest in yourself (career development, etc.);
• Annual bonus;
• Pension plan with company contributions;
• Salary scale 005: $84 600 to $105 800 (Base salary will be determined based on your academic background, experience, training, and skills related to the position.)

Your role in achieving results:

• Analyze and present monthly financial results and forecasts to the Category and Sales teams, including volume performance, profit and loss statements, marketing expenses, cost-to-serve, and other key financial metrics.
• Support the Category Management Committee in developing strategies and making informed decisions through profitability analyses and risk assessments.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of the Category Review process from a business and financial perspective.
• Actively participate in cross-functional category projects as the Finance Lead, including product launches, expansion initiatives, production capacity planning, customer prioritization, and other strategic projects.
• Support the Sales team during major contract renewals and Request for Proposal (RFP) processes.
• Support the development and execution of pricing increase strategies and recommendations.

What we are looking for to deliver these results:

• Bilingualism (French and English)
• Bachelor's degree in Finance or Accounting
• CPA designation is considered an asset
• Minimum of 5 years of relevant experience required
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage priorities effectively
• Ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines
• Advanced communication and influencing skills
• Strong ability to synthesize complex information and translate it into actionable insights
• Well-developed business acumen and strategic mindset

A role for those who want to make a real impact and contribute to measurable and sustainable results.
