Mission Hill Family EstFull-timeCA$65k–CA$80kPosted Aug 6, 2026

Winemaking in some major regions of the world can be an ‘industrial’ undertaking, but for us here at Iconic Wineries of British Columbia, every decision in the vineyard has a direct impact on the quality of what ultimately ends up in the bottle.

Exceptional vineyards require more than great farming practices. They require clear insights, strong operational discipline, and the ability to understand the story behind the data.

Our vineyards generate vast amounts of information every season, from labour and productivity metrics to purchasing activity, operational costs, vineyard performance trends, and planning data. The opportunity is no longer collecting data. It is transforming that information into meaningful insights that help our teams make better decisions.

The Role

As our Vineyard Business Analyst, you will play a critical role in helping us better understand, measure, and optimize the performance of our vineyard operations. Sitting at the intersection of data, operations, finance, and viticulture, you will transform complex operational information into actionable insights that improve productivity, strengthen cost visibility, and support decision-making across our vineyards. This is a highly collaborative role that combines business analysis, operational reporting, procurement support, and data visualization. You will work closely with Vineyard Managers, operational leaders, and finance partners to uncover trends, identify opportunities, and build reporting tools that provide clarity across vineyard operations. More than a reporting role, this is an opportunity to bring a fresh perspective, challenge assumptions with data, and help shape how vineyard performance is measured and managed for years to come.

Productivity & Performance Analytics

Measure and monitor vineyard productivity, labour efficiency, and operational performance across activities, blocks, sites, and seasons.
Analyze key operational metrics including hours per acre, cost per activity, labour utilization, and year-over-year performance trends.
Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and support continuous improvement initiatives.
Translate complex operational data into practical recommendations that vineyard leadership can act on.
Support annual planning processes through productivity benchmarking, workforce analysis, and operational forecasting.
Develop meaningful performance indicators that help leaders understand operational effectiveness and identify opportunities for improvement.

Data Visualization & Reporting

Design and maintain dashboards and reporting tools that provide visibility into vineyard performance and operational health.
Transform data from multiple operational systems into meaningful business insights.
Develop reporting frameworks that allow teams to proactively identify trends, risks, and opportunities.
Present data in a clear and compelling way, helping stakeholders understand the story behind the numbers.
Ensure data integrity, consistency, and accessibility across vineyard reporting processes.
Create visualizations that simplify complex datasets and support informed decision-making at all levels of the organization.

Financial Analysis, Procurement & Cost Visibility

Support procurement and purchasing activities by validating invoices and ensuring alignment to approved budgets and plans.
Monitor vineyard operating costs and spending trends to improve financial visibility across the organization.
Partner with Finance and operational teams to improve cost reporting and forecasting accuracy.
Identify potential productivity or cost-related risks before they become larger operational challenges.
Maintain disciplined documentation and reporting standards that support planning, budgeting, and operational decision-making.
Help establish stronger cost controls and spending transparency across vineyard operations.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

Partner closely with Vineyard Managers, operational leaders, finance teams, vendors, and stakeholders across the business.
Build trusted relationships while introducing new ways of measuring and evaluating operational performance.
Support the development of data-driven processes that improve consistency and operational discipline across vineyard operations.
Bring curiosity, fresh thinking, and a continuous improvement mindset to help evolve how work gets done.
Contribute to a culture where decisions are informed by data, insight, and transparency.
Act as a bridge between operational teams and data, ensuring insights translate into meaningful action.
