Smart, Fast, Innovative – that’s SFI. We’re a national leader in industrial tools and consumables, powering some of Australia’s largest projects. We’re seeking a Sourcing Manager who brings strategic influence, commercial maturity, and a proven track record of driving value at a senior level.
This is a high impact role, based in Ballarat or Melbourne, where you’ll engage directly with executives, senior stakeholders, and industry leaders. We’re after someone who commands respect in negotiations, not someone who just asks for discounts.
At SFI, culture isn’t a buzzword; it’s the reason people stay. We back each other, share the wins, and know that work should feel human.
As our Sourcing Manager – Industrial Tools & Consumables, you will set the tone for supplier strategy, contracts, and negotiations across the business. You’ll deliver outcomes that align with both commercial objectives and long-term partnerships.
In this role you will:
-
Lead the development of sourcing strategies that balance cost, quality, and security of supply.
-
Negotiate high-level rebate structures, incentive models, and contracts with major suppliers.
-
Engage confidently with executives, senior stakeholders, and boards to present sourcing outcomes.

Drive supplier relationship management programs, including performance evaluations and contract reviews.
