The Opportunity
Step into a pivotal role with Pāmu as our Supply Chain Optimiser and become a key player in driving the success of our commercial and optimisation efforts. In this role, you will collaborate with our operations team to unlock the full potential of our internal economy and external partnerships. Your primary objective will be to maximise revenue and returns for our livestock, dairy, and other produce post-farmgate.
You’ll oversee the strategic management of our value stream across all prime and store stock and manage on-farm inventory to support optimal performance. Your efforts will directly influence our operating performance, ensuring that we achieve the highest value for our products.
This role also involves overseeing national supply chain and pricing strategies, forging effective relationships with our partners and internal team, and exploring new market opportunities.

This is your chance to make a significant impact within a forward-thinking organisation committed to sustainable and innovative farming practices.
You will work with a supportive manager, in an environment that supports ongoing training and development.
