Original job description

Protein Category Manager

Amherst, NS

Introduction

We are hiring a Protein Category Manager for one of our food service clients based in Amherst, Nova Scotia. The Protein Category Manager will spearhead the incremental growth of the client’s Protein category. While their Core Merchandising Manager maintains the foundational portfolio, this role will be the "Market Specialist." The Protein Category Manager will sit at the center of the action: responding to time-sensitive offers, collaborating with our Strategic Alliances, Specialty Companies, Vendor network and Sales teams and managing the COP (Centre of the Plate Protein) Contracting program. We are looking for a professional who thrives under pressure and can bridge the gap between global commodity trends and local market needs, ensuring the client’s product portfolio and buy-side costs translate into a winning sell-side position. The successful candidate must be able to commute to the client’s distribution center for 4 days a week minimum. The position currently requires some travel across the Atlantic region for customer visits.

Responsibilities

Strategic Opportunity Buys

Make fast purchasing decisions on time-sensitive offers from vendors and strategic alliances to gain market advantages.
Track market trends and commodity fluctuations to keep pricing competitive for the sales team.
Sourcing unique opportunity buys to drive customer interest and incremental sales.

Risk & Inventory Management

Assess volume, distribution center (DC) capacity, and market volatility before placing high-risk forward buys.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Merchandising, Sales, Supply Chain, and Revenue Management to ensure smooth sell-through.

COP Contracting Program Management

Lead supplier-side contracting with key partners to secure optimal volume and pricing for category growth.
Oversee customer-side protein contracts, aligning costs with sales commitments to safeguard margins and distribution.
Monitor vendor and division contract compliance, escalating performance issues as needed.

Portfolio & Vendor Leadership

Source across national, regional, specialty, and local suppliers to maintain market-relevant inventory.
Negotiate contracts with new regional suppliers and balance national category goals with local market demands.
Forward-buy and secure supply ahead of seasonal demand spikes and commodity cycles to prevent inventory gaps.

Sales Partnership & Customer Engagement

Serve as the protein subject-matter expert for sales teams, participating in client meetings and business reviews.
Educate and coach sales representatives on market trends, product details, and selling strategies to boost margin growth.

Requirements

Protein Expertise: 3+ years of deep knowledge in beef, lamb, seafood and poultry is a must-have, including quality standards and supply chain dynamics.
Commodity Market Fluency: Extensive knowledge of market fluctuations and the ability to interpret data to make timely buying decisions.
Must have experience in the Atlantic market specific to protein categories
Financial & Analytical Acumen: Strong grasp of Margin, Pricing and DC capacity metrics in a perishable goods environment.
Collaboration & Influence: Proven ability to work across multiple teams and influence stakeholders at both the regional and national levels.
The "Intrapreneur" Spirit: A creative thinker who can inject fresh perspectives into the category and drive brand goals.
Tech Savvy: Bachelor’s degree preferred; SAP experience is a significant asset for managing complex inventory and procurement data.
Must be comfortable being in office 4 days a week, in addition to 10-20% travel a year.

What We Offer

Why apply through Brunel? Finding the next step in your career can be a fulltime job in itself. We manage the process for you: from submitting your resume to coordinating interviews to extending offers and assisting with on-boarding. We’ll get you going while you get on with the job.
