Operations Coordinator
Top Benefits
About the role
Who We’re Looking For
We’re searching for a detail‑oriented problem solver with a Degree, Diploma, or Certificate in Business Administration, Forestry, or a related field (or an equivalent mix of education and experience). Some exposure to operations, logistics, or accounting—especially within the lumber industry—is a bonus, but what matters most is your eagerness to learn and grow alongside our in‑office Cedar Trading team.
You’ll thrive in this role if you are:
- Curious & coachable – you ask questions, welcome feedback, and quickly master new systems like Tag and SalesAssist
- Collaborative – you enjoy working side‑by‑side with teammates and building strong relationships across departments
- Clear & confident in communication – you keep everyone in the loop, whether solving shipment issues or double‑checking an invoice
- Organized & detail‑oriented – you maintain accuracy while juggling multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment
- Adaptable & solution‑focused – you stay calm under pressure and pivot smoothly when plans change
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Controller, the Operations Coordinator plays an important role supporting our operations and finance teams. You’ll help keep inventory moving smoothly, assist with invoicing, and work closely with different departments to ensure everything runs efficiently.
This is a full-time, in-office position where you’ll work side-by-side with our experienced Cedar Team of Traders, gaining hands-on exposure to how remanufactured lumber products move through the business from start to finish.
Your key responsibilities will include:
- Assisting with inventory management and tracking product movements using internal systems
- Helping to prepare and process invoices and sales orders accurately
- Coordinating with Logistics and other teams to schedule shipments and resolve customer questions
- Providing administrative and operational support to the Domestic Sales Team
- Supporting onboarding and training for new team members and interns
We provide training and support, so prior industry experience is helpful but not required—your willingness to learn and collaborate is what matters most.
What We Offer
- Salary range: $50,000-$60,000 per year.
- Extended health & dental benefits effective on your first day!
- Employee Wellness Spending Account.
- Hybrid work schedule following training period.
- Life insurance, long-term disability insurance, and AD&D insurance.
- Educational assistance programs to support your continuing education.
- Employee stock ownership & RRSP Plan.
- Employee-Only In-Office gym and showers.
- Nespresso Coffee & Tea bar.
- Easy access to the mountains and oceans.
