Job Description

Our Story:

The a2 Milk Company, driven by science and a pioneering spirit, disrupted the dairy and infant milk formula industry. Our vision is to create an A1-free world where dairy nourishes all people and our planet.

The a2 Milk Company seeks to achieve this through the naturally occurring a2 Milk® difference and by bringing a more sustainable approach to dairy.

About the role:

This is a key role within our Pokeno manufacturing operation, where you’ll take ownership of the supply of raw materials needed to keep production moving. From planning future requirements and managing purchase orders through to working closely with suppliers and resolving potential supply issues, you’ll have a hands-on role across the end-to-end raw material supply process.

You’ll work closely with Manufacturing, Quality, Logistics, Finance, Strategic Sourcing and S&OP, using your planning and problem-solving skills to balance supply, inventory and production needs, while proactively identifying risks and finding practical solutions.

More specifically, you will be involved in:

  • Developing and managing raw material supply plans to support production requirements
  • Reviewing MRP requirements, raising purchase orders and managing supplier commitments
  • Building strong supplier relationships and monitoring performance, including DIFOT, lead times and service levels
  • Managing supplier forecasts, capacity, constraints and potential supply risks
  • Monitoring raw material inventory, safety stock, shelf life and inventory ageing
  • Identifying potential shortages and putting proactive mitigation plans in place
  • Supporting S&OP and providing visibility of supply risks, constraints and opportunities
  • Working with cross-functional teams to support NPD, projects, trials and production changes
  • Improving planning, purchasing and supplier management processes

What you will bring:

  • Experience in procurement, supply planning, materials planning or supply chain
  • Experience within FMCG, dairy, manufacturing or another industrial environment
  • Strong understanding of MRP and ERP systems
  • Experience managing suppliers and material supply risks
  • Strong analytical, planning and problem-solving skills
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
  • A proactive approach with the ability to identify risks and drive solutions
  • A commercial mindset with a focus on balancing supply, service and inventory
  • Experience managing raw materials in a manufacturing environment would be advantageous
  • Exposure to dairy, ingredients, commodity-based supply chains or S&OP would be beneficial

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
