At Mars Petcare, we believe in creating a better world for pets—and the people who care for them. That's why we're transforming how our supply chain operates through Project Horizon, the ANZ Integrated Supply Chain Transformation Program.

This is more than a project—it's a bold step toward creating a connected, digital-first ecosystem, enabling us to respond with greater agility, efficiency and resilience.

  • Manage project financials, scope, risks, risk mitigation, and quality standards

Change Management

  • Lead future-state process design and conduct gap/impact analysis
  • Design and execute a robust change management program
  • Drive stakeholder alignment and training programs to ensure successful adoption
  • Enable smooth transitions from deployment to business-as-usual

Operational Excellence

  • Establish strong partnerships with internal and external stakeholders
  • Deliver on cost, service and quality targets through collaboration and accountability
  • Provide analytical and functional logistics support to the broader Horizon team
  • Ensure vendor deliverables meet contract and performance expectations

What We're Looking For
  • Degree qualified in Supply Chain, Commerce, Engineering, IT or Finance
  • Experience in logistics/supply chain operations
  • Proven project management experience in large, complex or cross-segment projects
  • Strong process knowledge across warehousing, transport and/or international logistics
  • Excellent communication, collaboration and influencing skills
  • Digital mindset – strong systems capability and learning agility
  • SAP functional knowledge – ideally Atlas/SAP ECC6 or S/4HANA

What can you expect from Mars?
  • Work with over 140,000 diverse and talented Associates, all guided by the Five Principles.
  • Join a purpose driven company, where we're striving to build the world we want tomorrow, today.
