ABOUT FISHWIFE
Fishwife is a woman-founded and led food company aiming to make ethically-sourced, premium, and delicious tinned seafood a staple in every cupboard. We source from responsibly managed fisheries and aquaculture farms to bring the vibrance of conservas culture to the North American table.

POSITION OVERVIEW
We’re looking for a Business Systems Manager to support the critical systems, integrations, and data that keep our business running. This is a business-enablement role: you'll manage our ERP, EDI, and SaaS environment; maintain the integrations and automations that connect them; and ensure leadership can rely on the data in our environment. You will serve as the internal go-to data resource for the Fishwife team across Operations, Sales, Finance, and Marketing.
This is not a traditional IT support role. We need someone with a business systems background who can partner credibly with teams, answer questions, remove friction, and quietly make everything work.

Monitor that order and inventory transactions are complete and accurate between systems. • Manage EDI trading partner relationships end-to-end, including onboarding, document mapping, exception handling, and ensuring reliable order, shipment, and invoice flow. • Maintain clear documentation for systems, processes, and trading partner specs. • Act as an integrated partner to each department, helping to drive meaningful technical solutions which reduce manual workloads and increase data accuracy and process adherence.
REQUIREMENTS
• 5+ years of experience in business systems, operations technology, IT applications, or a related role. • Experience in CPG, food & beverage, consumer goods, or DTC/wholesale environments. • Excellent organizational, project management, and communication skills. • Ability to convey ideas between technical and non-technical audiences • Practical technical background, including some combination of: • Troubleshooting an ERP and managing EDI environments. • Familiarity with WMS, 3PL integrations, and e-commerce platforms (Shopify, etc.). • Proficiency in Excel & Google Suite
