Why this temp labor is needed & why the assignment cannot be completed by an internal resource This temporary position is needed to backfill a critical gap on the team as the current employee is shifting to another trade marketing role.

The role is responsible for overseeing a complex, dual CAPEX / OPEX budget spanning the U.S. and Canada, and managing logistics across four external vendors while supporting an ongoing RFP to consolidate to two.

Additionally, the role plays a key part in a digital transformation initiative to replace Excel tracking with a centralized program management platform in partnership with IT.

These responsibilities require dedicated focus and technical knowledge that cannot be absorbed by the current team.

Temporary coverage is essential to maintain business continuity while we work to hire a long-term internal replacement
