From our land to the world's best shelves.
Hewitt is a global, vertically integrated foods business on a mission to feed the world with a system that lasts forever.
We are not only an agricultural company; we are a premium food supplier connecting the world's most discerning consumers with high-claims, sustainable protein. Our unique value proposition is our complete "end-to-end" supply chain—managing every step from our own vast cattle stations and those of our select producer partners, right through to processing and retail.
Today, we supply our own market-leading brands (including Cleaver's Organic here in Australia) into high-profile retailers and premium foodservice operators across Australia, the United States, and Asia.
While our roots are deep in Australian soil—with a 120-year family history of treating land, people, and animals well—our eyes are firmly on the global market. We are a global foods business meeting the demand for nutritious, ethical, and organic meat on an international scale.
The Opportunity

In this newly created role, we are searching for a Communications Manager who understands how to unlock the goodness within our business to share our stories with customers and consumers.
