Supply Chain Specialist

Supply Chain Sorcerer: You’re brilliant at ensuring products are always where they need to be, when they need to be there, at the lowest price, all while finding smarter ways to get it all done.  If that sounds like you, let’s talk! AlgaeCal is looking for a Supply Chain Specialist to join our Vancouver-based logistics team.

This job will give you ALL the feels:

At AlgaeCal, we’re driven by a single idea: A world without fear of fracture. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have crumbling bones. And they’re scared. Scared of fractures. Scared of breaks. And, most of all, scared of losing their independence and the ability to live the life they love. 

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world’s only natural solution that is clinically-supported to increase bone density. We give hope to thousands of frightened people. If you’re at a place in your career where you’re excited by the chance for your work to have meaning and help make a difference, you’ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal. 

This job might be for you if you’ve got…

• A strong track record of creating and managing supply chain strategies that cover manufacturing, procurement, inventory, and shipping –– ensuring smooth and efficient operations across all distribution channels.
• 2-4 years experience of end-to-end supply chain operations, covering all aspects of logistics.
• Proven skills in negotiating supplier terms, monitoring performance, and ensuring timely, cost-effective inventory replenishment.
• Experience conducting regular inventory audits, maintaining accurate records, and using forecasting tools to prevent stockouts, overstocks, and delays.
• The ability to manage Amazon FBA inventory and other platforms, ensuring optimal stock levels and timely order fulfillment.
• A brain the size of a small planet! In this role, you’ll interpret shipment data, identify performance gaps, and implement improvements to optimize the supply chain. 
• A resume that demonstrates your mastery of supply chain logistics. Sorry, but if you have to Google what a SKU is; or don’t know what LEAD TIME means, this isn’t the position for you. 
• A good working knowledge of Lean Methodologies.
  

If you’re reading this and thinking, “Wow, that sounds exactly like me!” We would love to hear from you. If it doesn’t, no worries, but right now we’re only seeking experienced candidates who will immediately light up this role.

• Professional Development: You’ll get the opportunity to attend professional development conferences or workshops that will enhance your skills, expand your network, and drive your career forward with our support!
