Weekly, you will generate reports on inventory levels, sales metrics, and production outputs using tools like Excel and our proprietary ERP software, collaborating closely with the production, warehouse, and sales departments to ensure data alignment. Monthly responsibilities include archiving historical data, assisting in database cleanups to remove duplicates, and participating in audits to validate records, contributing to compliance with food safety and industry regulations. You will also handle special projects such as data migration during system updates, working with IT stakeholders to test and implement changes seamlessly.

Beyond technical expertise, we seek individuals with exceptional organizational skills, the ability to manage multiple tasks under tight deadlines, and strong attention to detail that prevents costly errors.
