Part-Time Odoo Specialist (CRM, Website, Automation, Integrations)

About Us
We run two companies in Windsor, Ontario, Canada:

• Stratus Plastics International (SPI) is an IATF 16949 certified injection molding manufacturer for the automotive and industrial sectors.
• Stratus Ag sells ThermaRoot, a patented root-zone heating system for greenhouses.

We run both businesses on Odoo [version / Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or self-hosted]. We're replacing our outside Odoo partner with a dedicated specialist who will own our system long-term. We're an AI-first company and use tools like Claude heavily to work faster.
