About the role
Are you passionate about quality and food safety? We’re looking for a proactive and detail-oriented professional to join our team and play a key role in ensuring the highest standards across our wine operations and supplier network.
In this role, you’ll work closely with QA leadership and trusted third-party suppliers to ensure robust quality processes are in place, continuously improved, and fully compliant with Australian legislation and global standards.

• Collect, analyse, and present quality data to identify business-impacting trends and highlight opportunities for Quality and Food Safety improvements.
• Provide QA support to internal customers and external suppliers/service providers, resolving complex, cross-regional challenges with innovative solutions.
• Develop and implement corrective actions and continuous improvement initiatives to effectively address customer complaints and claims.
• Maintain robust reporting standards and implement system improvements to support quality audits across relevant sites.
• Embed compliance activities consistently across all internal operations and third-party partners.
• Produce monthly reports on Quality Management and Food Safety KPIs, identifying emerging trends and areas for intervention.
• Contribute to the Global Risk Management Plan, shaping company policy and direction for Quality Risk Management and Food Safety.
• Apply the Global Risk Management Plan by coaching, reviewing, and delegating workflows effectively.
• Identify gaps or non-conformances within Vinarchy and third-party Quality Management and Food Safety Systems, ensuring compliance with ISO 9001, IFS, BRC, HACCP, AS/NZS 4360 Principles of Risk Management, and any specific customer requirements.
What You’ll Bring:

* Strong experience built within an FMCG environment.
* Experience and sound working knowledge of QA and Food standards legislation, Regulations and Standards and auditing & risk management principles
