What you’ll be responsible for

Developing and executing Rip Curl’s global sourcing strategy across apparel, accessories and footwear.
Building strong, ethical and commercially effective partnerships with global manufacturing and supply partners.
Driving improvements in lead time, on-time delivery, sample execution, purchasing accuracy and critical path performance.
Managing sourcing risk across supplier capability, country-of-origin exposure, compliance, quality, duty impacts and supply continuity.
Partnering with ESG, quality and regional teams to support responsible sourcing, supplier compliance and continuous improvement.
Leading, coaching and developing global sourcing and purchasing teams, creating clarity, accountability and strong succession depth.
Identifying cross-brand opportunities that support supplier alignment, manufacturing capability, innovation and business transformation.

You are comfortable operating globally, working across regions, supplier networks and internal functions to solve problems, make clear decisions and keep product moving.

What you’ll bring

Significant experience in global sourcing, procurement, production or supply chain leadership.
Experience developing sourcing strategies across multiple categories, suppliers and manufacturing regions.
Strong knowledge of product development, garment or product construction, manufacturing processes and quality assurance.
Experience managing offshore supplier performance, ethical sourcing requirements, compliance expectations and commercial negotiations.

Experience with suppliers across Asia and other global sourcing regions will be highly regarded.
Exposure to ESG, sustainability, B Corp, responsible sourcing, trade finance, logistics or transformation initiatives would be beneficial.
