As our teams grow, we seek our next Supply Chain Manager to join our team.
We Care about a Job Well Done:
Since 1993, we have been champions in traditional baking with the finest ingredients and techniques. We always do things the right way, not the easy way.
We Care about Baking:
At The Bread Factory, all our teams take pride in crafting beautiful, freshly baked loaves, pastries, and cakes. We are all passionate about our products and share knowledge among us all.
We Care about Each Other:
We always act with respect, empathy, and support to our employees, neighbours and customers.
We Care about Community:
We believe in minimising unsustainable practices and reducing waste. While ensuring we continue to provide everyone with nutritious high-quality food.
We Care about Nature:
We’re committed to sustainability across our supply chain—from reducing waste and reusing surplus to supporting regenerative farming that helps restore the planet.
Every day is different at The Bread Factory, but here are some of the things you will be doing:
Manage end-to-end supply chain operations, ensuring goods are ordered, delivered, and stocked efficiently to meet operational and production requirements.
Build and maintain strong supplier relationships, manage purchase orders, monitor deliveries, and resolve issues promptly. Maintain optimal stock levels, track shelf life, and conduct monthly stock takes to ensure accuracy and reduce waste.
Forecast stock requirements, oversee the introduction of new ingredients and packaging, and manage the phase-out of delisted products. Drive continuous improvement initiatives and lead process changes aligned with company values.
Lead, coach, and develop the supply chain team to ensure capability, engagement, and a culture of accountability.
Provide training opportunities to build skills and support professional growth.
Monitor key metrics such as customer complaints, shortages, and stock write-offs.
Ensure accurate month-end reconciliations and productivity improvements through regular reporting and analysis.
Our team tells us you will be a great addition if you have:
Experience in supply chain or operations management, ideally within food production, manufacturing, or other fast-paced environments.
Proven leadership and team management skills, with experience coaching and developing staff.
Strong Microsoft Office proficiency, particularly Excel for data management and reporting.
Excellent communication, organisation, and problem-solving abilities, with strong attention to detail.
Ability to manage multiple priorities, drive efficiency, and maintain accuracy under pressure.
A proactive mindset focused on continuous improvement and operational excellence.
