About Australian Meat Industry Council

The Australian Meat Industry Council (AMIC) isthe peak body representing meat retailers, wholesalers, processors, exporters, and smallgoods manufacturers across the country. Our industry is one of the largest manufacturers and employers in Australia today.

Why Join AMIC?

This isn't a desk job with a membership database attached — it's an opportunity to be the custodian of AMIC's relationship with its SME members in Victoria, and to champion their interests.

You'll own your patch end-to-end: building genuine relationships with SME owner-operators, opening doors to nationally recognised experts in food safety, animal welfare, workforce policy, marketing and trade, and making sure no member ever has to navigate the industry alone. Your industry knowledge won't just be respected here — it's the job.

Working with a small, dynamic and experienced team, you'll work proactively to engage with members, identify opportunities for business extension and capability uplift, and leverage your commercial acumen to think creatively about value creation and member engagement.

You will see the direct impact of your work in businesses that grow, members that stay, and an industry voice that gets sharper because of the insights you bring back. If you're energised by backing the people behind Australian red meat — and thrive in autonomous roles— we encourage you to apply.

Role Purpose

The Member Engagement Manager develops and maintains relationships with and facilitates the provision of services to small and medium enterprise (SME) members in Victoria.

Grounded in real experience and a passion for the meat industry, the role is accountable for facilitating member engagement with AMIC and supporting extension and capability uplift of meat industry SMEs.





The Member Engagement Manager operates as a conduit, connector and champion of AMIC member services and products. They leverage strategic partnerships and cross-functional capability to drive the success, profile and performance of member businesses; they pro-actively link members with AMIC subject matter experts and external partners covering food safety, animal welfare, workforce policy, marketing, and trade.

They have the strategic and commercial acumen to identify opportunities, the appetite to pro-actively and creatively solve problems, and the customer-centricity that ensures member insights are translated into the design, delivery and continuous improvement of AMIC’s advocacy, products and services.

Role Outcomes

The outcomes of the role include, but are not limited to –

Member relationships – owned

Every SME member has a single, trusted point of contact via this role. Relationships are proactive and personal, built on a genuine understanding of each member’s operations, priorities and challenges.

The Manager owns each relationship end-to-end – they don’t wait to be asked, and members never have to navigate AMIC alone.

Member attraction

AMIC’s membership grows. The Manager identifies and pursues prospective SME members, tells AMIC’s value story compellingly, and converts interest into membership.

Member retention and engagement

Members are engaged year-round, and renewal is never in doubt – because the value of membership is delivered, demonstrated and made visible throughout the year.

Risks to retention are spotted early and turned around before a member is lost.

Connection to expertise

Members are connected quickly to the right subject matter experts across AMIC spanning food safety, animal welfare, workforce policy, marketing, and trade.

Member insights, operational realities and emerging needs flow back into AMIC, sharpening its services, capability initiatives and advocacy.
