Job Order ID: 1056530
Consultant: Josh Linde
Industry: Operations

Who’s actually responsible for getting premium food products from source to shelf—flawlessly?

Not just procurement.
Not just logistics.

The leader connecting it all.

I’m working on a confidential search for a Director of Procurement & Logistics with a premium, high-growth food manufacturer based in Ontario (relocation likely to an amazing part of the Province).

This is a mission-critical leadership role overseeing end-to-end supply chain — from sourcing raw materials and packaging through to national distribution and retail delivery.

This role is for someone who:

Owns strategic sourcing + supplier negotiations at scale
Understands perishables, food manufacturing, and cold chain logistics
Has led 3PLs, transportation networks, and warehousing operations
Can balance cost, quality, service levels, and food safety compliance

You’ll be responsible for:

Procurement strategy across ingredients, packaging, and co-manufacturing
Supplier relationships, contracts, and risk mitigation
Logistics network design including inbound, inter-facility, and outbound distribution
Inventory control, warehousing (ambient + chilled), and traceability
Leading S&OP alignment and cross-functional execution across operations, QA, R&D, and finance

Why this role stands out:

High-impact leadership role reporting into senior leadership
Opportunity to shape and scale a fully integrated supply chain function
Work with a purpose-driven brand focused on quality, sustainability, and growth
Real ownership across procurement, logistics, and operational performance

If this sounds like you — or someone in your network — let’s connect.
Confidential conversations always welcome.
