The Organisation
Redland Premium Fruit are a newly formed organisation in Regional Victoria with already a strong connection to the local community as an employer of 600+ people at peak times. They are a Goulbourn Valley based fruit processing and packing enterprise, who are part of the Redland Business Group. They operate fruit packing facilities, cool rooms and warehouses in Mooroopna and Shepparton. They are the result of a large site coming under new ownership, because of this there is considerable appetite for investment, growth, and modernisation of the operation. Operating in both domestic and international export markets, this vertically integrated agri-business is investing in its future success from a people and operations perspective.
Six Degrees Executive are exclusively recruiting for a newly created position managing their procurement function. This is a greenfield role which will give you the opportunity to create a legacy within an organisation with ambitious growth plans.
The Opportunity
Given the organisation has recently taken over this operation and its facilities this is a greenfield role, you will be tasked with the responsibility of setting up the procurement function from scratch. Opportunities like this are rare to come by you will have the chance to really make a mark within the business and pave the way forward for this new procurement function. As the Procurement Manager you will have responsibility for developing and implementing efficient procurement and contract management processes. There is also the hope that the Procurement Manager will be able to provide wider structure and governance to the organisation.
Further to this aside from the creation and development of the function this role will have a large part in supporting the successful delivery of two key areas of the operation:
Given this is a sole charge role for the procurement function, it is expected that candidates will possess at least 5+ years of experience in procurement and contract management, and are comfortable working autonomously. A growth mindset with a focus on process improvement and delivery of best practice within the role parameters is imperative. Any experience from a relevant Agriculture or FMCG type organisation would be very useful to the successful delivery of this position. A related professional qualification (i.e., Procurement Management, Supply Chain Management, Business Management or Contract Management) will be an advantage. Exceptional communication skills are key given the requirement to foster strong relationships both internally and externally, alongside strong supplier relationship management skills.
