This role ensures timely execution of partner contracts, accurate rolling supply and demand forecasts, disciplined crop-to-crush planning, on-time grain delivery against contract commitments and reliable operational execution so every acre of camelina and winter canola has a clear, traceable and cost-effective path to the refiner as both programs scale over the five-year framework.

Operations, Risk & Performance Management

+ Build and manage the North America logistics model across truck and rail freight, storage and quality requirements for grain, meal and oil.

+ Track grain deliveries to support year-end reconciliation of service agreements and performance of camelina and winter canola production.

+ Serve as the primary escalation point for operational issues such as contract non-performance, weather/harvest variability, freight constraints, quality failures and crush outages.

Demand Planning and S&OP Ownership

+ Build rolling demand forecast dashboard, production plans, crop to crush planning, and aligning with downstream partner demand forecasts.

+ Explore digital tools to support performance reporting and risk management.

Long-Term Growth Strategy

+ Develop and maintain a grain aggregator and crush partner network map to inform current and future draw zones for grower acquisition and agent placement.

+ Identify regions where additional crush capacity is required, including greenfield and brownfield opportunities.

+ Inform external investment strategy and capacity planning to avoid bottlenecks as camelina and winter canola programs scale.
