Operations Lead

Company: Pecana LLC | Location: , Texas | Posted: Jul 01, 2026

Job Summary

Own day-to-day operations (EDI/SPS Commerce, co-manufacturer order planning, vendor/3PL management, pricing/negotiation, retailer compliance, ERP administration) and support sales execution (forecast inputs, retail readiness). This is a hands?on builder role in a resource?lean environment. We currently use Cin7 Core and will continue to do so; ERP experience is required (Cin7 Core experience is preferred, not required).

This can be a fully remote position and will work on CST. 

What You’ll Do (100% Operations)

  1. Order-to-Cash & EDI
  • Own retailer/wholesaler EDI flows (850/855/856/810/945) with major translators; drive document accuracy and on?time ASNs.
  • Manage SPS Commerce relationship and work flows
  • New customer EDI set up and flow.
  • Manage retailer compliance (routing guides, ticketing/labels, pack & pallet specs, MABD/OTIF?style expectations).
  1. Planning & Fulfillment
  • Work with Sales department to convert demand signals (broker pipeline + marketing calendar) into SKU?weekly supply and allocation plans; maintain min/max and safety stock.
  • Schedule production/inbound POs; manage 3PL (RJW) wave/pick/ship and SLAs for ambient (shelf?stable) warehousing.
  1. Systems & Data (ERP)
  • Administer our ERP (Cin7 Core): items, pack configs, SO/PO flows, price lists, EDI integrations, reporting. If you haven’t used Cin7 Core, you’ll ramp quickly.
  • Publish source?of?truth dashboards for inventory, service level, backorders, and forecast accuracy.
  1. Vendors & Costing
  • Own vendor & 3PL relationships: quotes, price negotiations, lead times, and quarterly business reviews.
  • Maintain landed?cost inputs (freight?in, duties, accessorial) in ERP; support price?list updates.
  1. Quality & Compliance
  • Coordinate packaging/label changes, GS1/UPC management, case/pallet specs, and code dating suitable for shelf?stable products.

Success Looks Like (Core KPIs)

  1. ≥ 98% EDI document accuracy & on?time transmission
  2. ≥ 96% case?fill / on?time ship at 3PL
  3. ≤ 1.0 stockouts per SKU per quarter; MAPE ? 20% on A?SKUs
  4. < 10 business days from award to order?ready onboarding
  5. Zero preventable compliance chargebacks per quarter

What You’ve Done (Must?Haves)

  1. 3–7+ years in CPG operations with direct ownership of EDI, retailer compliance, and 3PL execution (shelf?stable/ambient preferred).
  2. EDI Mapping knowledge and experience. Preferably SPS Commerce experience
  3. Hands?on ERP ownership (required). Cin7 Core experience is a plus (not required) — or clear evidence you ramp quickly on new ERPs.
  4. Demonstrated order planning & allocation across multiple channels/retailers.
  5. Strong vendor/3PL management and price negotiation track record.
  6. Advanced Google Sheets/Excel; ability to turn messy data into reliable signals.
  7. Builder mindset comfortable as a first hire.

Nice to Have

  1. Experience launching into Target and/or Kroger (portals, EDI testing, routing, compliance).
  2. Walmart vendor/retail rollout familiarity.
  3. GS1/UPC management and packaging workflows.
  4. Experience with major EDI providers (SPS).
