Description

About the Company:

Our client is a well-established trans-Tasman business that plays a leading role in supplying high-quality, affordable consumer health products across grocery, pharmacy and online channels. As part of one of Australasia’s most respected healthcare and consumer goods groups, they’re known for their focus on innovation, strong values, and long-standing relationships with trusted suppliers and customers across New Zealand, Australia and Asia.

About the Role:
  
This is a high-impact position at the centre of a fast-paced supply chain. You’ll take ownership of supply planning across a complex, multi-region portfolio, including operations in New Zealand, Australia, and China. With shifting demand patterns, global supply constraints and tight timelines, you’ll need to think critically, act decisively and communicate clearly to maintain smooth supply and strong customer service.

You’ll be responsible for managing stock availability, inbound supply from offshore partners, and vendor performance—all while keeping service levels above 98%. Using data to drive confident, evidence-based decisions, you’ll proactively mitigate stock risks, justify purchasing decisions, and engage effectively with internal stakeholders. Collaboration with Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Warehousing is a key part of the role, along with contributing to performance improvement initiatives and supporting the monthly planning cycle. This is a role for someone who thrives in complexity and enjoys end-to-end ownership.

About You:

As an experienced Supply Planner, you are sharp, organised and proactive—always thinking a step ahead. You stay calm under pressure, prioritise effectively and get results without compromising accuracy.
We’re looking for someone with:

  • 5+ years’ experience in large-scale supply planning – ideally in FMCG
  • Proven experience working with offshore suppliers and international supply chains
  • Strong analytical and critical thinking skills – you back your decisions with data
  • The confidence to have challenging yet constructive conversations with stakeholders
  • A calm, solutions-focused mindset when things get busy (as they often do)
  • Intermediate to advanced Excel and planning system skills
  • CPIM, APICS, or equivalent qualifications (an advantage)

What’s in it for You?

  • One day per week work-from-home
  • Flexible start and finish times
  • Discounted health insurance
  • A fast-moving hands-on role where you can take ownership and make a real impact
  • A supportive, down-to-earth team that values initiative, efficiency and accountability
