About the organisation
This role is based on the Sunshine Coast and will be an onsite role. Relocation assistance is on offer if required.
Our client is a large-scale Australian manufacturing and supply chain business operating within a fast‐paced, commercially driven environment. With a significant national footprint and complex operational network, the organisation is currently investing in the uplift and maturity of its procurement function.
The business is focused on building a procurement capability that delivers genuine commercial outcomes – not just process compliance. This is an environment that values initiative, pace, stakeholder engagement, and practical problem solving.
With strong executive support and a growing focus on procurement‐led value creation, this is an opportunity to join a business where procurement has real visibility and influence.
About the role
Reporting into senior procurement leadership, the Procurement Business Partner will support a broad indirect spend portfolio across packaging, freight, chemicals, energy, consumables, and operational services. This is a highly commercial, stakeholder‐facing role suited to someone who enjoys variety and project‐based procurement rather than sitting within one category long term.

* Identifying and delivering cost‐saving and value‐creation opportunities
* Managing supplier negotiations and commercial discussions
* Building strong relationships with operational stakeholders
* Driving procurement initiatives from opportunity identification through to implementation
* Supporting the ongoing uplift of procurement capability across the business
* Managing procurement projects with pace, structure, and accountability
The environment is fast‐moving and hands‐on, requiring someone comfortable operating with autonomy and influencing senior stakeholders across the organisation.
