Shape Strategy. Drive Innovation. Create Value.

O’Brien® is Australia’s leading glass solutions business, supporting customers across automotive, residential and commercial markets. As part of the global Belron® Group, we combine local expertise with international scale to deliver best‑practice procurement and commercial excellence.

We’re seeking a commercially astute, strategically minded Senior Procurement Manager to lead a diverse portfolio of direct materials, consumables and operational categories that underpin performance across both our AutoGlass and Glazing divisions.

This is a high‑visibility role for a strong business partner who can challenge thinking, influence stakeholders and turn procurement strategy into measurable business value.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Head of Procurement, you will shape and execute category strategies that strengthen supplier performance, drive innovation, mitigate risk and deliver sustainable value. You’ll leverage Belron’s global procurement capability while partnering closely with Operations, Supply Chain and Finance to support business growth.

If you thrive on solving complex challenges, building strategic supplier partnerships and influencing decisions through insight rather than authority, this role offers the chance to make a significant impact.

About You

You’re a strategic thinker with strong commercial acumen, exceptional stakeholder influence and a passion for unlocking value beyond traditional cost savings. You enjoy challenging the status quo, solving complex problems and partnering with suppliers to deliver innovation and operational excellence.
