Supply Chain Specialist

The job you’ve been looking for: You know how to keep products moving, inventory balanced, suppliers accountable, and costs under control. You can see where a supply chain is slowing down, understand why it is happening, and put a better process in place. You are comfortable working across manufacturing, procurement, inventory, warehousing, and shipping, and you know that strong supply chains are built on accurate data, clear systems, and consistent follow-through.

If that sounds like you, let’s talk! AlgaeCal is looking for a Supply Chain Specialist to join our Vancouver-based supply chain 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…

• At least three years of experience managing end-to-end supply chain operations, including manufacturing, procurement, inventory, and shipping.
• A strong track record of building and improving supply chain processes across multiple distribution channels.
• Experience gathering quotes, negotiating supplier terms, issuing purchase orders, verifying invoices, and managing supplier performance.
• Experience using forecasting tools and inventory audits to prevent stockouts, overstocks, and delays.
• The ability to plan purchase orders while balancing inventory targets, cash flow, and budget requirements.
• Experience managing inventory across Amazon FBA and other e-commerce platforms.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to interpret shipment, inventory, and fulfillment data.
• Experience identifying bottlenecks and implementing practical process improvements.
• Experience creating SOPs and training team members on new systems and workflows.
• A good working knowledge of Lean methodologies.
• Experience with ERP or MRP systems. If you’ve worked on ERP implementation we’ll probably swoon.
• A resume that demonstrates measurable improvements in supply chain performance.

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. 

What Will You Earn? 

We believe in rewarding top talent. Let’s talk about salary once we’ve had the chance to get to know you better. Rest assured, we’re generous and offer above-market pay for the right person. If you bring the skills and experience, we’ll make sure the compensation reflects that.

You’ll also enjoy the following benefits:

• A generous healthcare package
• Monthly team events and activities
• Flexible Stat Holidays with the option to bank days for later use
• Weekly team lunches
• Hybrid work environment (we work from home 2 days a week)
• Casual dress code

• 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! And of course, we’ll cover your fees, accommodation, travel, meals, and any related materials or resources.
