The Role
This isn’t a highly strategic ivory-tower role — we need someone who’s solutions-focused, organised, and ready to get in the weeds when required. You’ll manage the day-to-day movement of products across multiple sites and markets, while building processes that scale with our client.
This role is for someone who thrives on making things happen on the ground, keeping the supply chain moving like a well-oiled machine across procurement, production planning, freight and inventory.

You’ll work closely with:

• Vendors (packaging, dairy, raw ingredients)
• Sales, Ops, Product Innovation, and Marketing teams
• Global partners across US, NZ and China

What We’re Looking For

• FMCG supply chain management background — ideally in food, frozen food, health food, beverage or pharmaceutical industries
• Strong data skills; confident with cloud-based platforms (especially Unleashed)
• Strong attention to detail and organisation skills
• A team player who works well with Packaging, Innovation & Export teams
• Highly organised with the ability to work 12 months ahead on promotional plans
