About the role

This is a hands-on leadership role with responsibility for coordinating the day-to-day flow of materials, inventory and customer orders through our business. You'll lead purchasing and supplier coordination, oversee inventory controls and systems, coordinate logistics and customer fulfilment, and lead our customer service and warehouse/inventory functions. As a food manufacturing business, this role suits someone who enjoys being close to the operation — working with suppliers, warehouse, production, QA, sales and finance to make sure the right stock is available at the right time and customer orders get where they need to go.

Salary commensurate with experience

Key responsibilities

- Manage purchasing of bulk honey, ingredients, packaging, labels and consumables, including raising and following up purchase orders.
- Work with suppliers on pricing, quantities, lead times, deliveries and outstanding orders.
- Maintain visibility of stock on hand and incoming supply, identifying shortages and supply risks early.
- Oversee inventory accuracy, cycle counting, stock discrepancies and ageing/slow-moving stock.
- Coordinate stock requirements between our Mudgee factory and offsite distribution centre.
- Coordinate freight, delivery priorities and customer fulfilment.
- Lead and support our Warehouse & Inventory Controller and customer service team.




- Work closely with production, QA, sales and finance to resolve supply and inventory issues.
- Help improve the systems, routines and processes that connect purchasing, inventory, warehouse and customer service.
- Initially support production planning, with the chance to take greater ownership of this area as the role develops.

About you

- Practical experience in purchasing, inventory, logistics or supply chain coordination, ideally within manufacturing, food or another product-based business.
- Comfortable using an inventory or ERP system to manage purchase orders and stock transactions.
- Good spreadsheet skills and the ability to investigate discrepancies and make sense of inventory information.
- Organised, practical and able to follow things through.
- Clear communication and the ability to keep people moving in the same direction.
- Previous team leadership experience would be valuable, although we would also consider someone who has strong relevant experience and is ready to step into a broader leadership role.
- Experience with Cin7 Core, food manufacturing, batch traceability, stock rotation, supplier negotiation or production planning would be an advantage, but isn't essential.
