Commercial Analyst & Project Manager

Original Foods | Niagara Region, ON | Full-Time, On-Site

About the Role

Original Foods is a growing food manufacturer based in the Niagara Region. We are looking for a driven and versatile individual to join our commercial team in a role that combines analytical rigor, project coordination, and customer-facing responsibilities.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys working across functions — equally comfortable building a costing model, managing a customer relationship, or keeping a cross-functional project on track. We are open to candidates at different stages of their career: what matters most is your potential, your curiosity, and your desire to make an impact in a fast-paced food manufacturing environment.

What You Will Do

• Pricing & Commercial Analysis
• Develop and maintain product costing models and pricing frameworks
• Prepare pricing proposals and cost justifications for customer discussions
• Analyze customer and SKU profitability to support commercial decisions
• Support price increase submissions with clear, data-driven rationale
• Build ad hoc analyses and business cases as needed by the commercial team

Project Management

• Coordinate cross-functional projects involving sales, operations, and finance
• Track project timelines, deliverables, and action items
• Follow up with internal stakeholders to ensure deadlines are met
• Support new product launches and customer onboarding from a commercial perspective

Sales Administration & Account Support

• Manage a portfolio of smaller customer accounts, serving as primary point of contact
• Prepare quotes, proposals, and commercial documentation
• Maintain pricing records, customer files, and commercial databases
• Support the sales team with reporting, meeting preparation, and follow-up
• Liaise with operations and logistics to ensure customer requirements are met
• Manage the CRM

What We Are Looking For

We are not looking for a specific number of years of experience — we are looking for the right person. You might be a recent graduate with strong analytical skills and a hunger to learn, or an experienced professional looking for a broader, more impactful role.

You Will Thrive Here If You Are:

• Analytically strong — comfortable with numbers, costing, and building models in Excel
• Organized and detail-oriented — you follow through and nothing falls through the cracks
• A clear communicator — able to explain pricing and costing to customers in plain language
• A self-starter — you take ownership and do not wait to be told what to do next
• Curious and adaptable — you enjoy variety and are not looking for a narrow, repetitive role

Assets:

• Experience in food manufacturing, CPG, or a related industry
• Familiarity with ERP and CRM systems
• Background in pricing, finance, or business analysis
• Experience managing customer accounts or supporting a sales team

Education

A post-secondary degree or diploma in Business, Commerce, Finance, or a related field is preferred. Equivalent experience will be considered.
