Job description

Help shape the future of ZIWI’s global supply chain

At ZIWI, our purpose is simple: to help pets around the globe Live Life at the Peak. Through ultra-premium nutrition, crafted from the best of New Zealand, we support the health and wellbeing of pets so they can thrive. As we continue to grow across North America, Greater China, Asia Pacific and Europe, we're investing in the people, systems and capabilities that will help us shape the future.

The Global Supply Chain Analyst sits at the heart of our global (S&OP) process, influencing decisions that impact inventory investment, demand and production planning, as well as critical projects like our ERP implementation.

One day you'll be analysing demand trends, inventory performance and forecast accuracy, and the next you'll be partnering with colleagues globally to solve supply challenges, support key business decisions and drive continuous improvement across our global planning network.

Why this role is different

This is a genuinely global role where you'll gain exposure to a broad range of markets, stakeholders and business challenges. You'll play a key role in shaping the future of planning at ZIWI through ERP and system transformation initiatives, while having the opportunity to build new frameworks and ways of working. You'll join a collaborative, fun team that enjoys what they do, supports one another and has fun along the way.

What you’ll be doing

You'll be the analytical engine room behind our global planning operation, acting as a key partner to team mates across the globe.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Consolidating and reviewing global demand forecasts across multiple international markets.

• Managing forecast changes and helping the business navigate supply constraints.

• Supporting product allocation and prioritisation decisions to maximise customer service and business performance.

• Delivering meaningful insights across inventory, forecast accuracy, customer demand and supply chain performance.

• Analysing inventory levels, ABC product prioritisation and stock optimisation opportunities.

• Supporting cash flow forecasting and inventory planning.

• Supporting the ongoing system implementation and optimisation

• Identifying process improvement opportunities and helping build best-practice global planning frameworks.

What we’re looking for:

We’re open to candidates from a variety of backgrounds. You may currently be working in supply chain planning, demand planning, manufacturing, operations, commercial analytics or finance, but what matters most is your ability to turn data into meaningful insights and action. You’ll be naturally curious, enjoy solving complex problems and have a strong attention to detail. You’ll be comfortable working with large datasets, building relationships with stakeholders across different regions and influencing decisions through clear, data-driven recommendations. If you're proactive, commercially minded and excited by the opportunity to make an impact in a fast-paced global environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Most importantly, you’ll bring:

• Strong analytical capability and a passion for solving complex problems.

• Advanced Excel skills and confidence working with large datasets.

• A naturally inquisitive mindset and desire to understand the "why".

• Excellent attention to detail.

• Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building skills.

• The ability to influence and communicate effectively across different teams and regions.

• A proactive approach with a genuine desire to improve processes and outcomes.

• A collaborative, team-first attitude and willingness to learn.

Experience with ERP platforms such as Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, Oracle, JDE or similar will be advantageous but isn't essential.

Why ZIWI?

This is an opportunity to join one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing global brands.

You’ll be part of a passionate and collaborative team that values innovation, continuous improvement and big-picture thinking.

Most importantly, you’ll have the chance to make a genuine impact on a global supply chain while building skills and experience that can accelerate your long-term career.
