• Approximately 15 years of progressive business experience, including approximately 10 years in supply chain, distribution or wholesale operations. Experience in a national organization is a strong asset.

• Strong people leadership and talent management capabilities, with the ability to engage teams, lead change and create a culture of collaboration, accountability and continuous improvement.
• In-depth knowledge of distribution, transportation, logistics and warehouse management systems, combined with sound analytical judgment and the ability to use operational and financial information to guide decisions. Experience with WMS such as Infios or Oracle is an asset.
• Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in a global organizational environment, adopting and adapting best practices established by the Global Group to meet Belron Canada’s operational needs.
• Full professional fluency in English and French, both written and spoken, is required due to the national scope of the mandate, along with strong communication, negotiation and relationship-building skills.

• This position is offered in a hybrid work model, with an expected presence at the Montreal, QC office at least three (3) days per week.
• Occasional business travel may be required.
