Job description

Company Description Fishwife is a modern food company dedicated to making ethically sourced, premium tinned seafood a staple in every home. The team partners with fisherwomen and fishermen in Alaska, California, Oregon, and Galicia, Spain to bring the vibrancy of European conservas culture to North American tables. The company emphasizes sustainable practices, high-quality ingredients, and bold flavors in all products. Fishwife has been featured in leading publications such as The New York Times, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Refinery29, New York Magazine, Epicurious, and Conde Nast Traveler, highlighting its growing impact and brand recognition.

Position Overview

Serves as the hands‑on analytical and execution engine beneath the Supply Chain Senior Manager — turning forecasts and plans into accurate inventory positions, allocation decisions, assembly schedules, and reporting the broader Operations function relies on. Owns the day‑to‑day data and transactions. This is a builder role: someone who not only runs the process but makes it better.

Scope of Ownership

• Demand planning inputs and forecast modeling across SKUs and channels
• Inventory tracking, allocation, and reconciliation across locations
• Assembly / kitting and bundle planning (gift boxes, multipacks, collab SKUs)
• Inbound supply monitoring and shipment data accuracy
• Reporting tools, dashboards, and ERP data hygiene

Key Responsibilities – Demand & Inventory Planning

• Own the demand models and forecast inputs across SKUs and channels, and work closely with the Senior Manager to turn them into clear replenishment and production plans
• Keep inventory positions accurate across locations, run allocations and reconciliation, and catch stockout or overage risk before it costs us
• Plan assemblies and kitting — gift boxes, multipacks, collaborations — against demand, channel needs, and key dates, keeping every transaction clean and on time
• Monitor inbound supply as it relates to the demand plan (POs, lead times, in‑transit visibility) and surface delays or discrepancies before they turn into disruptions

Reporting & Systems

• Own our recurring Operations reporting such as in‑stock position, sell‑through, inventory reconciliation, S&OP inputs, and make it accurate, automated, and dependable
• Build the tooling that takes us beyond spreadsheets: dashboards, automated reports, and smarter workflows across the ERP and adjacent systems
• Keep our ERP trustworthy (item setup, BOMs, transactions) and audit inbound shipment records against invoices so the numbers always tie out
• Partner with Finance to own inventory month‑end close — reconcile positions and confirm every transaction is complete

Cross‑Functional Support

• Work with Finance on inventory values, COGS inputs, and reconciliation
• Work with Sales on channel forecasts, allocation needs, and launch timing
• Keep day‑to‑day communication flowing with internal and external to keep execution on track, being the source of truth for answers around inventory and reporting

Qualifications

• 2–3 years of experience in CPG (food & beverage a plus) across supply chain, demand/inventory planning, or operations
• Has owned a meaningful portion of the planning or inventory process — not necessarily end‑to‑end — and is ready to grow scope
• Strong analytical foundation; fluent in demand modeling and inventory math (S&OP, coverage, safety stock, allocation logic)
• Hands‑on ERP experience (Cin7, NetSuite, or similar); understands how inventory systems, BOMs, and integrations actually work (Shopify, API integrations, data warehouses)
• Tech‑forward beyond Excel — has built or improved reporting tools, dashboards, or automations (e.g., SQL, BI tools, scripting, or no‑code automation), not just maintained existing ones
• Demonstrated cross‑functional collaboration with Finance, Sales, and Marketing to support an omni‑channel business
• Detail‑obsessed, organized, and energized by building cleaner systems in a fast‑moving, high‑growth environment
• A habit of automating anything you've had to do manually more than twice
