National Risk and Safety Manager - Supply Chain

Location: melbourne
Job Type: permanent
Salary: $$$
Contact: Robert Scacco
The role in short:

This is an opportunity to step into a newly created role with a leading nationally listed business where scale, complexity and transformation intersect. You'll be leading safety and risk across one of Australia's largest national supply networks, driving a proactive, safety-first mindset from senior leadership to shopfloor. 

About the opportunity:

This is a household name with a proud Australian heritage and a presence that touches every state. Supply chain spans major cities and regional hubs, touching millions of customers yearly. The organisation has invested significantly in technology to modernise operations in a large scale transformation project, and the mandate now falls to a strong leader to drive performance across the network. 

What you'll be doing:

As the National Risk and Safety Manager - Supply Chain, you'll be the centre of the next phase of safety strategy, embedding best practice and creating impact across a high performing business. You'll partner with leaders across the business, influence decision making and build a culture that goes beyond "compliance", into proactive and forward thinking risk management. 

You will 
  • Lead national safety strategy across distribution, transport and warehouse portfolios 
  • Build capability across the network at all levels, both subject matter and cross-functionally 
  • Drive a continuous improvement mindset through innovation, acknowledge compliance and then build towards raising the bar. 
  • Influence key senior leaders with data driven reporting and solutions that balance operational delivery and risk outcomes. 


Who are you? 
You are a proven safety leader, having worked in ideally regional or national level roles across high risk environments. This role will best suit someone out of supply chain, logistics or broader 3PL, yet will also consider manufacturing experience with warehousing footprint. 

Outside of what you've worked in, you're credible at managing up and down the organisational hierarchy. You can present to executives in the boardroom without losing the ability to be effective at the coalface. You won't be a stranger to transformation or capability uplift projects, and have managed change at scale. 

Why this role? 

This goes beyond compliance, it's safety transformation. You'll be based be senior leaders that are highly invested in outcomes, will back you to deliver and you will get to shape the culture of a highly visible complex business. This role is earmarked for future succession planning to "Head Of" level, so suits a leader with future group level aspirations, within one of Australia's most recognisable names.
