Job description

Demand Planning Manager | BioPak | Bondi Junction, Sydney

We're looking for a Demand Planning Manager to join BioPak, Australia's leading supplier of certified compostable packaging, at our Bondi Junction head office.

This is a role for someone who loves the puzzle of forecasting: turning market signals, sales trends and seasonality into demand plans that keep our supply chain running efficiently and our customers served on time. You'll own the demand planning process end to end, partner closely with Sales, Marketing and our Supply Chain Leadership Team, and lead a Demand Planning Analyst as you go.

What you'll do

• Build and maintain demand plans and sales forecasts that drive DIFOT performance and cost efficiency
• Lead the Demand Planning side of S&OP, presenting forecast accuracy, bias and key metrics to the leadership team
• Manage product lifecycle transitions so new launches land on time and superseded lines run out cleanly
• Drive forward-looking improvement projects, including our NETSTOCK rollout and evolving S&OP practice
• Partner directly with customers on monthly reviews and sustainability-led supply chain initiatives
• Coach and develop a Demand Planning Analyst, setting clear KPIs and role expectations

What you'll bring

• 5+ years in demand planning and S&OP, ideally within an international corporate environment
• Tertiary qualifications in business, engineering or a related field (a Master's or equivalent is a plus)
• A track record of measuring and improving forecast processes across multiple levels
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills, and the ability to build a business case that gets backed
• Proven people leadership, with the communication skills to bring Sales, Marketing and Supply Chain along with you

Why BioPak

• A collaborative, open-plan office in Bondi Junction, always stocked with snacks
• Friday team lunches
• Real investment in your growth, with dedicated leadership development and learning opportunities
• Paid parental leave
• A genuinely purpose-driven business: through our Give Back Fund, we've donated over $5.8 million since 2012 to environmental and social causes, including tree planting and meals for people in need, and we're aiming to hit $6 million by the end of 2026

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, cultures, genders, ages and abilities, and we make reasonable adjustments throughout our recruitment process on request.

If this sounds like your next move, we'd love to hear from you.
