About Rainbow Greenhouses

Rainbow Greenhouses supplies national retailers and independent growers across North America with year-round live goods. With over 5 million sq. ft. of greenhouse space in BC and Alberta, we operate advanced, resource-efficient growing systems powered by skilled, hands-on teams. Our workforce scales seasonally from 500 to 1,000+ employees across multiple provinces. At Rainbow, we grow plants, people, and partnerships with long-term success in mind.

About the Opportunity

As a Program Manager, you'll own the day-to-day execution and results of an outdoor program-managing inventory, orders, and cross-functional coordination across production, logistics, and merchandising.

This is a fast-paced, data-driven role where you'll use sales trends, inventory, and weather to make real-time decisions on what ships, where, and when. We're looking for someone who can take ownership, move quickly, and grow toward broader commercial responsibility. If you bring strong analytical skills and drive, we'll invest in developing the rest.

Key Responsibilities

Own Program Execution

Manage order writing and inventory allocation across assigned stores, accurately and on time

Adjust distribution and reallocate inventory in response to sales trends, product readiness, and market conditions

Ensure product ships accurately and on schedule, and oversee order and item administration end to end

Own the Numbers

Track sales performance and identify top- and under-performing stores and products, and what's driving the difference

Forecast and analyze seasonal performance, and support budget planning, margin targets, and profitability

Maintain data accuracy and prepare sales reports that deliver insight, not just numbers

Make and Defend Commercial Decisions

Make timely, well-reasoned allocation and replenishment decisions, and be able to explain them

Anticipate conditions, act proactively during peak season, and raise opportunities to improve the program

Coordinate Across Departments

Communicate proactively with cross-functional and partner teams, flagging issues early and supporting in-store resolution

Manage downstream handoffs deliberately and build strong working relationships across the organization

Off-Season Planning

Build forecasts and product flow plans, and review completed seasons to inform improvements

Support the planning and preparation that positions the program for success

What You Bring

Advanced Excel skills, including confident use of formulas, lookups, and cross-referencing across multiple sources (assessed as part of the interview process)

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the judgment to turn data into decisions

Proven ability to work independently, make sound decisions, and explain your reasoning

A strong sense of urgency, reliable follow-through, and adaptability in a fast-paced environment

Strong organizational skills and the ability to stay focused under pressure

Post-secondary education or equivalent practical experience

• Availability during peak season. The spring window requires early morning starts and Saturday work. This is a firm requirement during peak, not an occasional request.

• The spring window is intense. Expect early morning starts and Saturday work through peak season, and a high pace for a concentrated stretch.
