  • Negotiate with suppliers to secure competitive pricing and dependable delivery schedules.
  • Maintain strong relationships with fishing fleet representatives, cold storage providers, and key vendors.

  • Oversee all cold chain operations, ensuring product remains at proper temperatures from vessel landing to final delivery.
  • Manage frozen seafood inventory, tracking product rotation, shelf life, and quality standards.
  • Implement and monitor inventory control systems to avoid stockouts and maintain traceability.

Logistics & Distribution

  • Coordinate inbound finished goods from foreign processing plants to storage and outbound finished goods to customers.
  • Coordinate with import/export team on domestic and international freight, including refrigerated trucking, ocean containers, and air freight.
  • Ensure compliance with FDA, USDA, HACCP, SMETA, BRC/SQF, and export documentation requirements.

Regulatory Compliance & Quality Assurance

  • Collaborate with QA to ensure all products meet safety, labeling, and traceability standards.
  • Maintain detailed records for audits, certifications (e.g., MSC), and regulatory inspections.

Cross-Functional Coordination

  • Work with sales teams to align production and inventory availability with customer orders and market demand.
  • Partner with finance on budgeting, cost tracking, and forecasting.
  • Provide leadership with regular KPI reports on inventory turnover, delivery performance, and cost efficiency.

 

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, or related field.
  • 5+ years of supply chain, logistics, or procurement management experience in seafood, food manufacturing, or perishable goods distribution.
  • Proven track record in cold chain management and international shipping.
