You'll focus on building strong global supplier relationships, optimising stock holdings, and ensuring a high quality of sourcing that aligns with Planet Organic's sustainability values.

Key Responsibilities

  • Source and manage overseas suppliers for raw inputs and packaging.
  • Negotiate pricing, MOQs, terms, and lead times to meet cost and inventory targets.
  • Oversee shipping schedules, freight documentation, customs processes.
  • Monitor and manage landed costs and supply chain risks (delays, FX volatility, etc.)
  • Maintain accurate purchasing records and supplier data in our ERP system (Cin7 Core).
  • Collaborate with warehouse, production, sales, and finance to ensure stock availability.
  • Drive continuous improvement in purchasing processes and supplier performance.
  • Update and improve forecasting measures.

What You'll Bring

  • 5+ years' experience in purchasing, procurement, or supply chain management
  • Proven track record managing overseas suppliers and international freight and customs.
  • Strong understanding of landed cost calculations and global trade terms.
  • Excellent negotiation, communication, and vendor management skills.
  • High attention to detail with strong commercial acumen.
  • Proficiency with online ERP or inventory systems (Cin7 Core, Excel)
  • A passion for ethical, sustainable sourcing and alignment with Planet Organic's values.
  • Preferred but not essential, experience managing Organic Certification purchasing requirements (ACO).

Why Join Planet Organic?

  • Be part of a purpose-led company in the organic health and wellness space.
  • Join a collaborative, transparent, and high-performing team.
  • Help shape a global supply chain that supports better products and a better planet.
  • Enjoy the stability of a growing Australian business.
