Job Purpose and Impact

As the Supply Planning Senior Supervisor, you will lead the team that turns crop input demand into an executable supply plan for Cargill's retail locations in Canada and the AgResource dealer (wholesale) network. You will direct the purchasing, positioning and delivery of crop protection, seed, fertilizer and biological products through a highly seasonal cycle, from early-order purchasing to in-season replenishment and end-of-season returns, balancing customer service against inventory, freight and warehousing costs. Peak spring periods may occasionally require additional hours, and the role includes occasional travel to distribution centers, suppliers and customers.

Key Accountabilities

• Lead and develop a team of supply and inventory planners and purchasing administrators, supported by interns during peak season, and make decisions related to hiring, performance, development, succession and disciplinary actions.
• Lead the supply review in the monthly sales and operations planning (S&OP) cycle, turning demand and purchase plans into a constrained supply plan with recommended actions on gaps and risks.
• Partner with product line managers to execute supplier purchase plans and early-order programs, overseeing purchase orders, supply contracts, releases and delivery schedules, including fertilizer contract releases and rail and truck coordination, and resolve supplier shortfalls.
• Direct inventory positioning across distribution centers and retail locations, prioritizing direct-from-supplier shipments where service and cost warrant, and ensure replenishment orders are validated against forecasts and allocations.
• Track forecast accuracy, supplier delivery, service levels, warehouse space utilization and freight cost, and drive corrective actions.
