**Our Opportunity**

This unique role will report into the Supplier Services Manager - Southern Region and will be the primary liaison and support to our Raw Milk Suppliers (farmers) in South Australia. This position is based around Adelaide, but will also be responsible for milk supply in the Mt Gambier region. This is a 12 month fixed term position and flexible working arrangements such as a part-time role will be considered for the right applicant. The successful applicant will develop and manage long term farmer relationships, communicating across all levels of the business and industry, as well as identify and follow through on new supplier arrangements.

Responsibilities include:

- Developing a comprehensive understanding of farm related challenges and acting as the key point of contact between the supplier base and Lactalis;
- Assisting suppliers with farm issues that improve milk quality;
- Coordinating win-win outcomes with the supplier and Lactalis to improve supplier loyalty;
- Managing day to day liaison tasks including coordinating resolution of supplier issues (quality, budgets, milk logistics etc) and assisting with investigations with relevant departments;
- Utilising relevant reporting mechanisms to provide accurate information and feedback to management; and
- Recruit supply when required through participating in recruitment and retention projects to help make Lactalis the processor of choice and ensure Lactalis meets raw milk volume targets. Help develop the right tools and innovative offers for suppliers to commit to Lactalis in conjunction with the Supplier Services Manager.

To be successful in this role you will need experience building customer and client relationships, an understanding of the dairy industry as well as outstanding communication skills and the ability to build rapport quickly with a variety of stakeholders. Self-motivation is paramount, due to the significant autonomy required in this role. Diploma or Degree qualifications in Agriculture are desirable, but the right relationship manager with experience and a keen interest in dairy is ideal.
