About the role (What you'll be doing)

We're looking for a Procurement Lead to own sourcing, supplier, and category strategy across Eucalyptus AU's product categories as the business scales and integrates the Hims and Hers portfolio into the Australian market.

This is a senior individual contributor role: you are the category strategist for procurement, not just executing tenders, but designing the category strategy, running supplier performance, and partnering with Commercial and Clinical to bring new product lines to market. The role reports to the Head of Supply Chain and works closely with the Warehouse and Inventory Manager, the Fulfilment function, Legal and Compliance, and the Commercial team.

Commercial strategy is set by the Commercial team; this role builds an aligned category strategy on top of it. You'll also get an initial, lightweight S&OP cadence going, laying the groundwork for a dedicated planning hire in future rather than permanently owning that function.

As our Procurement Lead, you will:

• Build the category strategy in partnership with Commercial: translate the commercial strategy into an aligned sourcing and negotiation strategy across Eucalyptus AU's product categories, defining the negotiation levers that secure competitive landed costs and leveraging Hims and Hers' global supplier relationships for Australian requirements.
• Kick-start the S&OP process: stand up an initial, lightweight sales and operations planning cadence anchored on supplier performance and cost/margin tracking, use the demand and supply signals this generates to sharpen supplier negotiations, and progressively bring in inventory and other planning inputs as the team grows, laying the groundwork for a dedicated planning function in future.
• Own supplier performance and quarterly business reviews: run structured QBRs with strategic suppliers, set and track performance scorecards across quality, service, cost, and lead-time, and lead formal performance improvement plans where suppliers fall short.
• Partner with Commercial and Clinical on new product lines: own the procurement and supply side of bringing new categories to market, including TGA/ARTG registration readiness, supplier onboarding, and launch stock planning.
• Design the supply-risk framework and own COGS: build the framework for identifying and mitigating supply risk across categories and maintain a current, SKU-level view of landed cost, proactively identifying opportunities to protect margin as the portfolio grows.
• Design the contract and compliance framework with Legal: establish contracting standards and templates in partnership with Legal and Compliance, and ensure all products meet Australian labelling and ARTG-compliant requirements, with import duties, customs, and biosecurity obligations managed for inbound product.
• Coach the team: as the senior IC in procurement, coach more junior team members, practise radical candour, and set the quality standard for how the function sources and contracts.

About you (Who you are)

• 6+ years in procurement or strategic sourcing, ideally within FMCG, pharma, healthcare, or another regulated consumer-goods environment, with a track record of owning a category end-to-end.
• A proven commercial negotiator who has designed and delivered category strategies and measurable savings, not just run tenders under a defined process.
• Experienced in running supplier QBRs and leading structured performance improvement, with a partnership approach to key suppliers.
• Working knowledge of Australian import, labelling, and regulatory requirements; TGA/ARTG familiarity is highly desirable.
• Comfortable designing frameworks (supply-risk, contracting standards, sourcing strategy) in partnership with Legal and Compliance, rather than only operating within frameworks others have set.
• A self-starter and strong cross-functional partner, able to translate commercial strategy into an aligned category plan and stand up an S&OP cadence from
