Position DescriptionOur Story
At The a2 Milk Company, we are driven by science and a pioneering spirit. We disrupted the dairy and infant milk formula industry with our vision to create an A1-free world where dairy nourishes people and the planet.
Through our naturally occurring a2 Milk difference and our commitment to sustainability, we continue to challenge the status quo and grow as a global FMCG business. Joining our team means being part of a values-driven, innovative company that is passionate about people and performance.
About the Role
We are seeking a highly capable Operations & Commercial Project Manager to lead and deliver critical new product development (NPD) projects while building strong, collaborative partnerships with high-value third parties, some of which are international.
This role plays a pivotal part in ensuring successful product launches, managing complex commercial arrangements with contract manufacturers, and partnering closely with cross-functional teams to deliver against The a2 Milk Company's ambitious growth plans. You will balance operational execution with commercial acumen, acting as a key link between our business, suppliers, and partners across FMCG and dairy supply chains.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the execution of NPD projects from concept to launch, ensuring timelines, budgets, and quality standards are met.
- Manage and develop strategic third-party manufacturing and supplier relationships, including international partners.
- Negotiate, oversee, and monitor commercial arrangements to deliver value and minimise risk.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Marketing, R&D, Manufacturing, and Quality Assurance.
- Provide clear stakeholder communication on project status, risks, and commercial outcomes.
- Drive continuous improvement in operational and commercial processes.
About You
We're looking for a results-driven professional who brings:
- Strong commercial acumen and capability in managing complex supplier and third-party agreements.
- Proven experience leading projects in FMCG – with dairy industry experience highly desirable.
- Demonstrated success managing international third-party commercial relationships.
- 2–4 years' experience in project management across innovation, manufacturing, or supply chain.
- Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills with the ability to influence across functions.
- Ability to manage budgets, resources, and risks effectively to deliver projects on time and within scope.
Apply now to bring your expertise in FMCG, commercial partnerships, and project management to a global challenger brand that's redefining dairy.
