Vittoria Food and Beverage - Silverwater NSW

We’re a privately held family business successfully competing against some of the biggest multinationals in the world. As Australia’s No. 1 Pure Coffee Company*, we’ve built brands into internationally recognised household names like Vittoria Coffee, Jarlsberg Cheese, and Santa Vittoria mineral water. We are a rapid-moving, innovative, market-leading business with a strong entrepreneurial culture.

Vittoria Food & Beverage is embarking on an exciting new phase of growth. To support this journey, we are seeking a detail-oriented Procurement Category Manager to join our Purchasing team at our Head Office in Silverwater, NSW.

About the Role

As our new Procurement Category Manager, you’ll play a key role in ensuring the smooth flow of goods from suppliers to our warehouses, supporting optimal stock levels across our product categories. This is a hands-on, operational role where you’ll have end-to-end ownership of the supply planning process-from placing purchase orders and following up on shipments, to strong engagement with suppliers and collaborating with internal teams.

This role offers the opportunity to work with a diverse range of suppliers and product categories, providing you with visibility across multiple iconic brands. You’ll have the autonomy to make a real impact, all while being supported by a passionate, close-knit team.

Key Responsibilities

- Place and track purchase orders with local and international suppliers.
- Follow up on shipments, deliveries, and supplier commitments.
- Monitor inventory levels and flag potential stock risks or delays.
- Liaise with suppliers to resolve delivery issues and ensure timely supply.
- Maintain accurate records of purchase orders, shipments, and supplier communications.
- Collaborate with internal teams (warehouse, production, sales, demand planning) to align supply with business needs.
- Support process improvements in purchasing and supply planning.

About You





- 8+ years experience in supply chain, purchasing, inventory coordination, or a similar operational role, within FMCG, within food and beverage.
- Strong organisational and time management skills.
- High attention to detail and accuracy in data handling.
- Proficiency in Excel and forecasting systems (e.g., Demand Solutions).
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- Clear and professional communication skills (written and verbal).
- Comfortable working with international suppliers and navigating shipping processes.
- Problem-solving mindset with a proactive approach to follow-ups and issue resolution.
- A desire to broaden your responsibilities and make a visible impact in a growing business.
