This role reports to the National Supplier Services Manager and works alongside another SRM to support our Raw Milk Suppliers (farmers) in the Gippsland area. The successful applicant will develop and manage long-term farmer relationships, communicate across all levels of the business, and identify and follow through on new supplier arrangements.
Role
This position is based in Gippsland and focuses on building strong relationships with supplier farms, facilitating communication between suppliers and Lactalis, and coordinating supplier-related activities to meet business objectives.
