  • Provide prompt, professional responses to enquiries and manage complaint resolution.
  • Maintain accurate customer and order information in internal systems.

Purchasing & Operations Support

  • Ensure compliance with procurement policies and support purchasing decisions as required.
  • Track and report on purchasing activities and negotiate local supplier arrangements (e.g., office supplies, accommodation).
  • Coordinate facilities requirements and act as the primary point of contact for the Tullamarine office.

Data, Reporting & Continuous Improvement

  • Produce regular reports on inventory, purchasing, and logistics performance, offering insight and recommendations.
  • Partner with Sales and Production to forecast demand and align supply chain activities.
  • Identify and drive process improvements to reduce costs and enhance operational efficiency.

Compliance & Safety

  • Ensure all activities meet regulatory, legal, corporate, trade, and animal welfare requirements.
  • Complete mandatory compliance training and adhere to WHS obligations to ensure a safe workplace.

 

What You Bring

Qualifications & Experience

  • Preferred: Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Business, or related field.
  • 3+ years’ experience in administration, operations, or warehousing (supply chain experience highly regarded).

Technical Skills

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capability.
  • Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
  • Proficiency with ERP, WMS, TMS systems; experience with Power BI, MiniTab or Qlikview is a bonus.
  • Ability to interpret relevant laws, regulations, and policies in a supply chain context.

Capabilities

  • Results-driven with strong relationship-building and influencing skills.
  • Excellent communication and customer service skills.
  • Strong time management in a fast-paced environment.
  • Ability to travel domestically when required.

 

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Opportunity to influence the evolution of our supply chain practices.
  • A supportive team that values operational excellence and continuous improvement.
  • A role with real variety — no two days are the same.
