Job Description
Procurement and Supply Planner - Food Manufacturing
n
Greenacre, NSW | Full-time, permanent | On-site | $90K - 100K + super
n
Our client is a fast-growing, large-scale food manufacturing business based in Greenacre. With turnover growing more than tenfold in four years, they've built a genuinely high-volume production operation and are now investing in the people to match the scale - starting with this role in their procurement team.

About the role
n
This isn't a transactional buying role. You'll be joining a business processing hundreds of tonnes of product a week, where 80% of production runs off a small core of critical SKUs - so getting the plan right matters. You'll work between production planning and procurement, forecasting and managing supply against manufacturer lead times of 6-14 weeks, rather than reacting once something's run out.
n
You'll work alongside an experienced, long-standing member of the planning team, and will be expected to bring fresh ideas and rigour to a function that is currently very manual, the business is partway through an ERP rollout and needs someone comfortable improving process along the way.
n
What you'll be doing
n
n
Developing and managing supply plans against manufacturer lead times, working proactively rather than reactively
n




Bridging demand & production planning with procurement execution
n
Managing supplier relationships across domestic and overseas supply
n
Maintaining accuracy across a small number of high-impact SKUs where errors carry real cost
n
Supporting the transition from manual, Excel-based processes to a new ERP system
n
Working closely with an existing planning team member to strengthen and challenge current ways of working
n
n
What we're looking for
n
n
Experience in supply planning, demand planning, or procurement within a manufacturing or FMCG environment
n
Strong Excel skills; experience with Microsoft Dynamics (AX/D365) or similar ERP systems highly regarded
n
A planning mindset - comfortable forecasting and managing long lead times, not just processing purchase orders
n
High attention to detail and reliability; this role has real bottom-line impact
n
Someone who wants to be part of building better process, not just maintaining the status quo
n
Food or dairy manufacturing background is a bonus, not a requirement
n
n
What's on offer
n
n
The chance to shape a growing function within a business scaling rapidly
n
A collaborative, hands-on team environment
n
Full-time, in office role in Greenacre
