Lead Retail

Melbourne

A fast-growing Australian hair styling brand, sold direct-to-consumer online and through retail and wholesale partners around the world. We're a tight-knit team that moves quickly, takes ownership and genuinely cares about creating exceptional products and getting them into customers' hands on time, every time.

About the Role

This is the role that keeps our products moving.

As our Product & Sourcing Coordinator, you'll be the day-to-day link between the team and our manufacturing partners, suppliers and compliance agencies. You'll coordinate everything from re-orders and production timelines through to new product launches, packaging, supplier negotiations and compliance, ensuring every product is delivered on time, on budget and to the highest standard.

Working closely with our Head of Operations & Supply Chain, you'll own the coordination of our product lifecycle from purchase order through to delivery. This isn't a strategic management role, it's a hands-on position for someone who loves organisation, problem-solving, building supplier relationships and making sure every detail is executed flawlessly.

If you enjoy seeing a product move from concept to shelf, thrive on keeping multiple projects on track, and love ticking off milestones, you'll fit right in.

cost and lead times.

Manage production & re-orders

Negotiate cost of goods

Obtain and compare supplier quotations, negotiate pricing, minimum order quantities and payment terms, and continually look for opportunities to improve margins while maintaining quality.

Coordinate new product launches

Work closely with our suppliers, Creative director and Operations & Supply chain manager to ensure every new product launches on time, with all packaging, components and suppliers aligned.

Keep us compliant

Coordinate with compliance agencies and internal stakeholders to ensure packaging artwork, labelling, ingredient declarations and product claims meet regulatory requirements across every market we sell into.

Maintain product data

Keep product specifications, supplier information, costings, purchase orders and production records accurate and up to date, while providing regular production updates to the wider team.
