[Hiring] Supply Planner @Fishwife Tinned Seafood Co.

Role Description

Fishwife works with a global network of canneries and co-manufacturers. That makes supply planning and purchasing the link between demand and revenue, and this role owns it.

• The Supply Planner turns the demand plan into action, placing and owning every purchase order across our canneries, co-manufacturers, packaging suppliers, and merchandise suppliers.
• When an order is at risk, you’ll be the first to know and the fastest to respond.
• You’ll also lead the supply side of our monthly S&OP process.
• This is a builder role, expected to replace existing trackers and spreadsheets with more efficient systems.
• This position is a full-time, remote role reporting to the Inventory & Reporting Senior Manager.

SCOPE OF OWNERSHIP

• The supply plan: replenishment, coverage, and safety stock targets by SKU and channel.
• Supplier and co-manufacturer readiness timelines, lead times, ship dates, and production commitments.
• Expediting and recovery whenever an order puts the production or inventory plan at risk.
• Supply inputs to the monthly S&OP process, and purchasing data accuracy in Cin7.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Production and Supply Planning
  • Book capacity and production slots with canneries and co-manufacturers ahead of demand rather than in reaction to it.
  • Model the tradeoffs between the demand plan and the production plan at both component and finished goods level.
  • Own the supply side of monthly S&OP: what we planned to buy, what we bought, the variance, and what that variance means for cash.
  • Oversee every PO from placement to confirmation to receipt, verifying quantities, pricing, terms, and dates with the supplier.
  • Accountable for every purchase order in Cin7 and the accuracy of the PO record as the single source of truth on status, quantity, and dates.
• Supplier and Co-Manufacturer Readiness
  • Track lead times, ready dates, ship dates, and production commitments across the network.
  • Flag supply delays and readiness gaps to planning early, with a recommendation rather than only a warning.
  • Expedite, resequence, split, or cut at-risk orders to protect the plan.
  • Build and run an on-time, in-full scorecard so partner performance is measured rather than remembered.
• Systems, Reporting, and Cross-Functional Work
  • Own purchasing transactions in Cin7: PO records, receipts, lead times, and supplier data.
  • Work with Fulfillment and Logistics on inbound freight timing.
  • Work with Finance on purchase timing, landed cost, and the cash impact of the buy plan.
  • Partner with Procurement on the supplier relationships, pricing, and sourcing decisions.
  • Work with Product Development and Quality on new item timelines and first production runs.
  • Work with Sales and Marketing on channel timing and launch dates.

Qualifications

• 3 to 5 years in supply planning, production planning, buying, or procurement in CPG, with food and beverage a plus.
• Has personally placed and chased purchase orders end to end.
• Hands-on ERP experience with purchasing transactions (Cin7 strongly preferred).
• Strong planning math: coverage, days of supply, safety stock, minimum order quantity, and lot sizing.
• Comfortable with international suppliers and multi-week ocean lead times.
• Able to carry a high volume of order-level detail across dozens of open POs.
• Written communication that holds up with an external partner: clear, specific, warm, and firm on dates.
• Detail-obsessed, organized, and energized by building cleaner systems in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.

Requirements

• Cin7 (ERP), WMS, SPS Commerce (EDI), QuickBooks, Google Sheets, Notion, FoodLogiQ.

Nice to have

• Seafood or another supply chain with seasonality and biological constraints.
• Co-manufacturer or contract packing environment.
• EDI (SPS Commerce), WMS, or QuickBooks exposure.
• Experience with S&OP, inventory reconciliation, and supplier scorecarding.
• A habit of automating anything you have had to do manually more than twice.

Benefits

• We offer a competitive salary package.
• Strong health benefits.
• Unlimited vacation policy.
