Full Job Description

The Company
Sanitarium is a progressive and dynamic business that is Australian owned and produces Australia’s leading breakfast products – Up & Go, So Good, Alternative Dairy Co range and Australia’s favourite breakfast Weet-Bix.

About the Role
As Sourcing Manager – Raw Materials, you will enable and direct the raw materials sourcing function and shape the procurement strategy for food commodities. This role has total ownership & responsibility for negotiation, commercial sourcing, and category management across key agricultural inputs sourced both locally and internationally.

You are a collaborative individual who thrives in a team environment and works closely with stakeholders across finance, supply chain, operations, planning, quality, and SDI. Combining commodity expertise with strong financial acumen and supply chain knowledge, you will partner cross functionally to drive value creation, margin improvement, and supply resilience, while fostering alignment, trust, and shared ownership of outcomes while operating within business and procurement governance frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and execute sourcing and category strategies for critical raw material and food commodity portfolios, aligned to business and financial objectives.
Apply corporate buying and financial evaluation frameworks (e.g. risk vs value, total cost of ownership) to form strategic, long term supplier alliances.
Leverage commodity market intelligence, price indices, forecasting tools, and financial instruments to manage cost exposure and mitigate market volatility.
Analyse commodity cost drivers, supply chain structures, logistics networks, and inventory impacts to inform sourcing decisions and optimise end to end supply chain performance.
Identify, qualify, and develop strategic and diversified supply sources to strengthen continuity of supply and reduce risk.
Deliver detailed financial analysis, insights, and recommendations to support operational planning, budgeting, and long term procurement strategy.
Monitor, evaluate, and continuously improve supplier performance across cost, quality, service, and risk metrics, maintaining a robust database of alternative supply options.
Build strong cross functional relationships with finance, operations, planning, and R&D to resolve issues, improve forecasting accuracy, and optimise working capital.
Communicate supply agreements, commercial terms, and supplier performance clearly to key stakeholders to ensure on time delivery of compliant, quality raw materials.
Maintain accurate procurement and contract data within SAP, including contracts, source lists, pricing, and information records.
Achieve savings and margin targets through value chain analysis, ethical negotiations, cost down initiatives, and supplier integration programs.
Partner with suppliers as an extension of the supply chain to drive continuous improvement, cost optimisation, supply reliability, and innovation.
Support new product development and cross functional project teams to ensure raw material availability, cost transparency, and supply readiness for on time, on budget launches.

About You

Tertiary qualifications in Commerce, Finance, Supply Chain, or a related discipline.
5+ years’ experience in sourcing, procurement, or category management within FMCG, agribusiness, or a similar complex supply environment.
Proven experience managing large scale raw material and food commodity portfolios.
Strong financial acumen, including cost modelling, margin analysis, forecasting, budgeting, and total cost of ownership assessments.
Deep understanding of end to end supply chain principles, including demand planning, logistics, inventory management, and supply risk mitigation.
Solid knowledge of agricultural commodity markets, cost drivers, and global supply bases.
Highly developed commercial and negotiation skills, effective at senior leadership and supplier executive levels.
Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to translate market and financial complexity into clear business insights.
Experience in agricultural or commodity procurement is highly regarded.
Previous leadership or people management experience is advantageous.

All applicants must be able to demonstrate that they have the legal right to work in Australia.

We are an organisation driven by our mission and values. If you share our passion for what we do, our products and can respect our principles then this is a great opportunity for you.
