Job description

We’re hiring an Associate Manager to lead a high-performing Supply Chain team based in Sydney. In this role, you’ll manage a team of 10 responsible for scheduling assets across ANZ, ensuring the right product is in the right place at the right time, every time.

This is an ideal opportunity for a people-focused leader who thrives in complexity, sees the big picture, and excels at guiding teams through transformation.

What you’ll do

Drive proactive planning – evolve the team from reactive scheduling to future-focused planning aligned with forecasting teams.
Introduce smarter systems – reduce admin, drive automation, and enable your team to focus on high-value work.
Own stakeholder partnerships – collaborate with planning leaders, sales teams, and supply chain stakeholders to streamline outcomes.
Solve complex puzzles – balance the needs of hospitals, sales, and logistics to get the right kits in the right place at the right time.

Who you are

A people developer – you know how to build culture, grow capability, and inspire performance.
A strategic operator – you balance big-picture thinking with strong attention to detail in a complex supply environment.
A confident collaborator – you turn sales feedback into action, manage expectations, and know when to push back constructively.
A changemaker – you see opportunity in the current state and know how to lead teams through change with clarity and purpose.
Experienced in complexity – background in medtech, retail, or other multi-endpoint supply chains is a strong advantage.

Why join us?

Make a difference – support life-changing surgeries by ensuring product readiness across ANZ.
Lead real change – shape smarter systems, better planning, and a stronger customer experience.
Grow your career – access professional development, leadership support, and internal opportunities.
Work with purpose – join a passionate, people-first team that cares deeply about what we do.
Enjoy meaningful benefits – wellness, lifestyle, and financial perks from day one.
