Whether you’ve been working in the sector for years or are just thinking about making a move, you’ll know that supply chain jobs aren’t what they used to be. Opportunities out there are both exciting and more varied than ever before. So, what roles are in hot demand right now? The market is hungry for supply chain professionals who understand how to keep things moving, even when the road gets bumpy! Whilst job titles may not have changed in the last two or three decades, certainly the function and how we do the job has changed, mainly with an emphasis on systems and tools that enable us to do our jobs with more speed and accuracy. Here’s what employers are searching for: Supply Chain Planner/Analyst Companies are seeking planners who know their way around predictive analytics and Excel spreadsheets. These roles are right at the heart of strategy, and they’re central to keeping costs down and service levels high. Logistics Coordinator & Transport Manager With e-commerce booming and delivery expectations through the roof, there’s a real push for people who know logistics inside out. Think compliance, fleet management, and fast problem-solving skills. Warehouse Manager & Operations Staff Warehouses are becoming more high-tech every year. If you’re comfortable with automation (or willing to dive in), there’s a big demand for managers and operators who can juggle people, processes, and new tech, all at once. Procurement Specialist Procurement experts are absolutely in the spotlight this year, thanks to everything from global supply chain shifts to local sustainability pushes. If you’re a negotiator with an eye on ESG, there’s plenty of space for you to make an impact, especially in more senior roles. What does the current hiring activity look like for these roles? Online job ads for logistics, warehousing, and transport management remain steady across most major cities, with Permanent positions making a comeback and companies keen to lock in skilled staff for the long haul. This means more stability (and often, better incentives) than short-term contracts. What About Salaries? Most salary offers have nudged up by 3–5% this year, which is a sign that talent is valued, and employers want to keep good people happy. For more specific data on salaries, please reach out for a chat, as there are many variables, location of work, size of business, Industry or that of your clients, and their margins and volumes, and so on. What Does All This Mean for You? If you’re considering a change or just starting out, it’s absolutely worth learning the tech (automation, fleet software, analytics) and brushing up on your stakeholder engagement. These are the skills that recruiters and employers truly value. If any of these roles sound like a fit, or you’re currently working in the Industry and would like to chat about career development opportunities, please feel free to reach out for a confidential discussion.

Have you noticed your finance team working hard, yet not always aligning their efforts with the business’s short-term and long-term objectives? Hiring talented people isn’t enough. Effectively communicating business strategies and the bringing people along on the journey is often what’s missing. Strong managers ensure everyone is visible, actively collaborating, and contributing to innovation, rather than working in isolated silos. Many directors today are juggling more than just skill gaps and digital transformation. The real challenge arises when teams aren’t sharing information or working together. High-performing finance teams become true business partners by connecting, communicating, and participating in broader strategic decisions. Leaders who encourage a strong team culture, with open communication, routine check-ins, and a genuine sense of teamwork, see better morale, faster problem-solving, and increased creativity driving their organisations forward. Here’s something worth considering: Success isn’t a set-and-forget deal! Without ongoing efforts to boost collaboration and keep the team connected, even top performers can stall. The most effective leaders keep things moving by updating processes, embracing flexibility, and encouraging innovative ways of working, so their finance teams are ready for whatever comes their way. Maybe it’s time to rethink the question. Instead of just asking, “How do we hire smarter?” try asking, “How do we help our finance teams step out of the background and become a powerhouse for our business?” If these ideas resonate, perhaps now is a good time to reflect on your own team’s dynamics and see what’s possible. Taking small, intentional steps, whether reviewing processes, encouraging more open dialogue, or simply rethinking how roles interact can lead to lasting change. If you’re interested in exploring approaches or want to discuss real-world examples, I’d love to chat!

In 2025, Australian supply chains are at a crossroads. Operational complexity and geopolitical tension have hit like never before! As businesses grapple with ongoing disruptions driven by political unrest, trade disputes, cyber threats, and shifting alliances, understanding these geopolitical forces has become critical, not just for supply chain leaders but for anyone involved in recruitment and talent strategy in this sector. Here’s what I’m seeing through my work at Alexander Appointments, combined with the latest information on how geopolitical shifts are reshaping supply chains in Australia and globally, and what companies and candidates need to know to stay resilient and competitive. The New Geopolitical Reality Impacting Supply Chains Global supply chains today aren’t just logistical marvels optimised for cost and speed, they’ve become geopolitical flashpoints. Conflicts in Eastern Europe, tensions in the South China Sea, trade wars, sanctions, and state-sponsored cyberattacks increasingly disrupt the smooth flow of goods, cause unexpected price spikes, and challenge risk management models that worked only a few years ago. Examples: Political instability can stop manufacturing in key regions or block critical trade routes. Tariffs and sanctions can change sourcing options overnight, forcing urgent supplier diversification. Cyberattacks targeting ports, payment systems, or logistics software create new vulnerable points that were previously underestimated in supply chain design. These forces have transformed supply chains from simple networks of suppliers and transport into fragile, intertwined ecosystems, where a single geopolitical event in one region can filter through operations globally. What Australian Businesses Are Doing and Why Talent Matters Businesses in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region are responding to these challenges with a combination of strategic supply chain redesign, investment in technology, and a focus on people who can competently steer through uncertainty. Key initiatives I’ve observed Supplier diversification and nearshoring: To avoid over-reliance on politically risky regions, companies are shifting goods closer to home or spreading risk across multiple suppliers. Digital transformation: AI-driven forecasting, blockchain tracking, and cyber resilience measures are becoming non-negotiable in supply chain operations. Flexibility and agility: Firms are redesigning logistics routes and inventory strategies to quickly pivot in response to sanctions, tariffs, or sudden conflicts. These shifts highlight why, from a recruitment perspective, the demand for supply chain and logistics professionals who combine operational expertise with strategic foresight and technological know-how has never been stronger. What This Means for Supply Chain Professionals in Australia If you’re a candidate in supply chain or logistics, now is the time to improve skills that help businesses manage and prevent geopolitical risk: Risk management and scenario planning: Understanding how geopolitical events ripple through supply and logistics is critical. Being able to anticipate and model different outcomes sets top candidates apart. Tech proficiency: Fluency in digital tools supporting supply chain visibility, data analytics, and cybersecurity has become essential. Cross-cultural and geopolitical awareness: Appreciating how regional politics impact trade can help you better coordinate international operations and vendor relationships. Adaptability and problem-solving: In a world where disruption often comes suddenly, your ability to pivot and innovate quickly is invaluable. Hiring managers are looking for people who don’t just execute day-to-day logistics, but who bring a strategic mindset that aligns with this turbulent environment. Building Resilience Through People and Partnerships Geopolitical shifts aren’t going away—they’re amplifying global supply chain complexity and risk. The companies best equipped to thrive in this environment invest not just in technology or alternative suppliers, but in extraordinary talent that understands how to steer through instability and drive resilience. Navigating supply chain disruptions requires more than operational tweaks; it demands partnership, foresight, and exceptional people. Australian supply chains and the professionals behind them are rising to the challenge. Whether you’re seeking strategic talent or looking for your next opportunity, Alexander Appointments is here to help.
