Manufacturing Operations Analyst information

What is a manufacturing operations analyst?

Manufacturing Operations Analysts are professionals who evaluate and improve the efficiency of manufacturing processes within a company. They collect and analyze production data, identify areas for improvement, and recommend solutions to enhance productivity, reduce costs, and ensure product quality. Their work often involves collaborating with production teams, using data analysis tools, and implementing best practices in manufacturing operations. Ultimately, they play a critical role in helping companies optimize their manufacturing systems and achieve business goals.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a manufacturing operations analyst?

To thrive as a Manufacturing Operations Analyst, you need strong analytical skills, knowledge of manufacturing processes, and a relevant degree in engineering, business, or a related field. Familiarity with data analysis tools (such as Excel, SQL, or ERP systems) and certifications like Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing are often required. Exceptional problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication are valuable soft skills. These competencies ensure accurate process evaluation, efficient production improvements, and successful collaboration across teams in a dynamic manufacturing environment.

What are some typical challenges faced by manufacturing operations analysts, and how can they be addressed?

Manufacturing Operations Analysts often encounter challenges such as identifying process inefficiencies, managing large datasets, and facilitating communication between production teams and management. To address these, analysts leverage data analytics tools, conduct regular process audits, and develop clear reporting methods to ensure everyone is aligned. Building strong relationships with both floor staff and leadership also helps in implementing changes smoothly and effectively.

Purpose:

The Supply Chain Optimization Analyst supports cross-functional initiatives that improve the performance, scalability and resilience of Riverside's end-to-end supply chain.

Reporting to the E2E Supply Chain Optimization Manager, this role will use data, supply-chain knowledge and critical thinking to identify opportunities, investigate root causes and turn complex operational information into practical recommendations.

This is not simply a report generating position. The successful candidate will understand the language of supply chain while remaining curious enough to question existing assumptions and processes. They will work across functions including Supply Planning, Demand Planning, Procurement, Manufacturing, Logistics, Engineering, Packaging, Brand, Finance, Master Data and Business Technology.

The role will support a varied portfolio of improvement initiatives, including inventory optimization, product and packaging transitions, commercialization, and process development. The analyst will go both broad and deep, by providing analytical support to broader cross-functional projects, and deep insights on workstreams they are leading.

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Demonstrate and uphold Riverside's Core Values.
  • Lead and support various supply chain or cross functional improvement initiatives. Effectively manage a variety of stakeholders and deliverables.
  • Extract, clean and analyze information from SAP/SAC and other business systems to translate business questions into clear findings and practical recommendations.
  • Present findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders in a concise and compelling way.
  • Identify when established processes or assumptions may no longer serve the business and constructively recommend improvements.
  • Implement improvements, with a focus on process documentation, decision rules and controls to ensure improvements remain effective.
  • Keep the work atmosphere fun, collaborative and welcoming.

Education and Qualifications: 

  • Post-secondary education in supply chain, engineering, business, operations, analytics or a related field (or equivalent education and experience)
  • Two to five years of relevant experience in supply chain, manufacturing, operations, consulting, analytics or continuous improvement.
  • Experience working with supply-chain or ERP data (such as SAP), and analytical tools (such as SAP Analytics Cloud)
  • Experience in consumer packaged goods, food manufacturing or another complex manufacturing environment is preferred.

Skills and Abilities:

  • Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel, and SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC), with analytical skills to process large and imperfect datasets.
  • Proficiency with leveraging AI models to enhance speed and quality of work, with critical lens spotting erroneously generated calculations or assumptions
  • Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills - ability to break ambiguous problems into logical questions, analyses and actions.
  • Solid understanding of supply-chain concepts such as inventory, demand, production planning, procurement, capacity and bills of material.
  • Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively across different functions and levels of the organization.
  • Strong communicator, with ease of breaking down complex analysis clearly and adapting message to the audience.
  • Comfortable in dynamic environment, independently moving between detailed analysis, cross-functional discussions and hands-on operational problem solving, while seeking input when needed.
  • Resourceful and willing to build or improve processes while using them.
  • Collaborative, humble and interested in learning from people closest to the work.
    Key Responsibilities:

Salary Range
$75,000—$85,000 CAD

At Riverside, we are committed to transparency and fairness in our compensation and job posting practices. The range above reflects the target compensation for the position at the time of posting. Exact compensation will be determined based on experience, skill set, education, and training, as well as other organizational needs, while balancing internal equity.

What we expect:

  • Values-led: You'll be a member of a thoughtful and compassionate team that prioritizes respect, teamwork and resourcefulness along with a good dash of fun. Sometimes, even making granola bars is hard, and life's too short to take ourselves so seriously that we don't enjoy the journey.
  • Unparalleled experiences and opportunities: We're still determining who we are and what we can be. Help us shape what this organization will look like and what we'll offer the world, into the future. This means rolling up your sleeves and sometimes building the process – fast! – while employing it. At Riverside, progress occasionally means proceeding imperfectly, and we're okay with that, as long as we're staying true to our values and learning and improving along the way.
  • Access to everyone: We're a flat organization with few silos which means you'll have full access to everyone from our founders to our production staff. Even when employees dress up, they wear steel-toed shoes. So don't be shy. Speak up, share your ideas and go places you normally wouldn't – like the plant, or the boardroom.
  • Personal development: We'll support and empower you to chart your own path and reach any heights you set for yourself. Career paths at Riverside are carved by the people walking on them, not dictated by leaders. Count on us to give you the training and tools to grow and progress.
  • Gratitude: As a growing business, we can't always offer formal recognition like awards programs, but we do show our true gratitude and appreciation. At Riverside, we're all in this together and we value you.
  • Be a Riverside Brand Ambassador: Stay relentlessly close to our consumers and represent the brand in every interaction, decision, and deliverable. Bring the consumer voice into your work by protecting product quality, availability, and experience, acting early when standards slip, and delivering consistent value that earns trust, advocacy, and long-term brand love.

What We Offer:

  • Values-led: We don't cut corners or step on anyone or anything on our way to our summit. There is no winning at all costs here. Every step you take must align with our values, no compromises.
  • Courageous determination: As a family-run, rapidly growing business, we are often challenged to find ways to deliver that aren't obvious or easy. You must be willing to try, ask and answer challenging questions, test and learn, turn over every stone, keep moving forward and help us find a way through. Resourcefulness and grit will be your constant companions at Riverside and will serve you well.
  • Humility: We're a small (but growing) fish in a sea of whales and sharks. We know the products we offer are some of the healthiest and most sustainable, but we don't brag about it, and know we have a steep path ahead. We pride ourselves in being respectful and supportive of others while shining brightly through our innovative, high-quality products. There isn't one superstar at Riverside. We take turns leading the way as we climb to the summit.
  • Continuous improvement: As a learn-as-we-go organization, we rely on each other to continuously improve everything we touch to make it better, more efficient, more sustainable, and more endearing to customers, consumers, employees, vendors, partners and the community. We own our mistakes and learn from them as we wind our way to the top.

Wait! There's more!

  • Immerse yourself in our comprehensive benefits program, with Riverside taking care of the costs!
  • RRSP matching or 401k matching for an empowered financial journey
  • Eligibility to participate in Riverside's Profit Sharing Plan
  • Join Employee-Led Resource Groups (ERGs) championing mental health, sustainability, diversity, women, and LGBTQ+ rights
  • Develop your career further through our Riverside University program and with our Tuition Reimbursement Program
  • An open concept work environment that embodies our Values
