• Ensure efficient communication between sales, logistics, and packing operations
• Monitor operational flow to identify and address bottlenecks or inefficiencies

• Cross-Departmental Oversight

• Bridge communication between farming, packing, compliance, housing, and logistics

• Strategic & Administrative Support

• Track work progress, inputs, and performance data to support better planning
• Identify opportunities for efficiency, savings, or improved team coordination
