Job description

About Us

Hobbs Pickles is a fast-growing Canadian CPG brand with national grocery distribution and a flagship location in Vancouver, BC. You’ll find us in major retailers like Loblaws and Sobeys, as well as on shelves across the country. We’re known for product quality, supply chain discipline, and operational reliability. As we expand nationally, we’re looking for a senior supply chain professional to build and lead the operational systems that will carry us into our next stage of growth.

The Role

We’re seeking a Supply Chain Manager to take full ownership of our retailer-facing supply chain — from order flow and inventory management to demand planning, EDI systems, and logistics strategy. This is a senior role with visibility at the highest level: you’ll work directly with the Founder and Director of Operations, and you’ll be the primary supply chain contact for our national retail and distribution partners.

Beyond managing today’s complexity, you’ll design the processes, systems, and structures that will scale with us as we grow from a scrappy challenger brand into a national leader.

Key Responsibilities

Retailer & Partner Management

• Act as the primary supply chain contact for national retailers (Loblaws, Sobeys, Walmart) and key distributors.
• Own order-to-cash processes, ensuring flawless execution, proactive communication, and minimal chargebacks.
• Negotiate service levels, freight terms, and cost-recovery agreements with partners.

Planning & Systems

• Lead demand planning and inventory forecasting across multiple warehouses and co-packers.
• Implement and optimize ERP/EDI integrations (moving beyond spreadsheets) to create a single source of truth.
• Develop dashboards, reporting structures, and KPIs for leadership visibility.

Logistics & Warehousing

• Oversee national 3PL relationships, inbound/outbound freight, and cross-border logistics.
• Manage multi-warehouse inventory strategy, balancing service levels with working capital.
• Optimize freight lanes and logistics partners for cost savings and service improvement.

Financial & Strategic Ownership

• Own the supply chain budget, including freight, warehousing, and chargeback recovery.
• Provide monthly reporting on costs, efficiencies, and retailer compliance.
• Identify and lead strategic initiatives to reduce costs, improve fill rates, and strengthen retailer partnerships.

Team & Growth

• Start as a hands-on leader, but design the structure that will scale into a supply chain team as the business grows.
• Mentor and develop future hires (coordinators, analysts), instilling process discipline and customer focus.

What You Bring

• 5–8+ years of experience in CPG supply chain, logistics, or customer supply chain management.
• Direct experience working with major Canadian retailers (Loblaws, Sobeys, Walmart, Costco).
• Strong knowledge of EDI systems, ERP implementations, and retailer compliance requirements.
• Proven success in demand planning, forecasting, and inventory optimization.
• Ability to balance hands-on execution with strategic system building.
• A leadership mindset: ready to grow into a Director role as the company scales.

What You’ll Get

• A seat at the table of a fast-scaling Canadian brand.
• Ownership of the customer supply chain function — with autonomy to build it your way.
• The chance to lead transformation from spreadsheets to integrated systems.
• Direct collaboration with the Founder/CEO and core leadership team.
• Competitive compensation, bonus potential, and growth into a senior leadership role.
