North Rocks, Australia Unilever Full time

**Who we are?**

On any given day, 2.5 billion people globally use Unilever products to feel good, look good and get more out of life. Many of our brands are well-known, household staples and old-time favourites including Dove, Rexona, Lynx, Vaseline, OMO/Persil, Surf, TRESemmé, Continental, Ben & Jerry’s and Streets.

We have a long tradition of being a progressive, responsible business. It goes back to the days of our founder William Lever, who launched the world’s first purposeful brand, Sunlight Soap more than 100 years ago, and it’s at the heart of how we run our company today. In 2022 Unilever Australia & New Zealand became a Certified B Corporation (B Corp), joining a growing network of organisations committed to galvanising a stronger, more inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy for all.

A job at Unilever is a career made by you, with development opportunities, benefits and a working culture that embraces diversity and is pioneering flexibility. There’s no better time to join our team

At Unilever ANZ, we have also embarked on something special: we are proud to be undertaking a 4 Day work week trial. This trial will see our staff retain 100 percent of their salaries, while working 80 percent of the time and delivering 100 percent of business outcomes. **The Assistant Procurement Manager role is designed to be fully functional in the 4-Day work week trial.**

**Business Context**

Packaging Material and CAPEX/MRO play instrumental role in driving business operations continuity and profitability growth. While we need to establish operational excellence to support production requirements with on time, in full, and spec & quality compliant delivery from suppliers, we also have major contribution in driving business profitability and growth.

Material cost typically plays major contribution to the total supply chain cost, hence every price reduction or any saving project to further bring down inflation would mean a significant improvement for the business.

Aside, Packaging sourcing also faces challenges from the market to be fully responsibly sourced and committed to sustainability. It is why Procurement is also involved building and executing immediate to long-term commitment to sustainability through its USLP which also sets up commitment toward compliance and sustainability target toward wood-based packaging (NDPE, CoC, etc), plastic packaging (Post Consumer Recycled (PCR), waste reduction), climate action/decarbonisation, living wage, sourcing diversity and else.

Procurement also continues to support marketing in the execution of brand innovations, specifically on on-time and in-full innovations, while also bring insights of suppliers’ technology and competitive advantage to enrich our innovation pipeline.

Procurement also needs to be fully adaptable in incorporating future skills required, specifically on digital and data science and analytics. Procurement will also be involved in enriching our end-to-end buying and suppliers experience into more digitally and value-adding process.

While we take good care of relationship with suppliers, we also need to take good care of team’s and personal well-being. We’d need to bring better work-life balance and purpose into our both professional and personal life. Procurement is all about making impactful values into the business and our only-one life
