Sydney, Australia Cochlear Ltd Full time

Cochlear is the global market leader in implant hearing solutions. Cochlear's mission is to help people hear and be heard. Around the world, more people chose a Cochlear-branded hearing implant system than any other. A Cochlear Implant is an electronic device that is surgically implanted under the skin near the ear that restores hearing to those who suffer from severe hearing loss. It’s an incredible piece of engineering and the only product in the world that restores a sense through technology. Imagine using your experience to help people around the world to hear again. We can offer a unique opportunity to join Cochlear, an iconic Australian company, leading the world in implantable hearing solutions. Our mission is to help more people to hear.

The Opportunity

Looking for your next big career step? Cochlear is on the hunt for a smart, ambitious, and analytical Demand & Inventory Manager to support our growing Asia Pacific region. This role is based in our global headquarters in Macquarie University and offers the perfect opportunity for someone ready to take on regional responsibilities, develop leadership skills, and grow within a global organisation.

In this role, you’ll lead the monthly demand planning process and develop inventory management strategies that balance cost, service, and efficiency. While your team will be small, the leadership opportunity is real, you’ll mentor others in best practices, influence key stakeholders, and help foster a collaborative culture.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (sales, marketing, regulatory and finance) to align demand and inventory goals with business objectives.
- Facilitate monthly country demand review meetings and regional alignment processes, ensuring clarity and actionable outcomes for all stakeholders.
- Analyse inventory performance metrics and provide actionable insights to optimise stock levels, avoid stockouts and minimise waste.

- Lead selected process improvement initiatives to keep systems and workflows evolving while empowering others to embrace change.
- Monitor and support the rollout of inventory replenishment techniques, ensuring alignment with regional and global standards.
- Develop and refine inventory control measures to balance cost and service targets while reducing expired stock and scrap.
