Senior Innovation Manager, ANZ and Asia

Lead the projects bringing what’s next in wine to market!

Love managing complex projects, bringing different teams together and making things happen when there isn’t always a clear roadmap?

We’re looking for an experienced FMCG project leader, based in either Melbourne or Sydney, to lead a significant pipeline of innovation across Vinarchy’s ANZ and Asia businesses.

You don’t need to come from a traditional Innovation background. You might currently work in Brand, Marketing, Category, Commercial, Sales, NPD or Innovation. What matters is that you’re a strong project leader who takes ownership, navigates ambiguity and knows how to get things done.

What You'll Do

• Lead multiple innovation projects end-to-end, from brief to launch
• Bring together cross-functional teams and keep complex projects moving at pace
• Drive commercialisation across pricing, financials and go-to-market activity
• Lead product, packaging, design and agency workstreams
• Prioritise what matters most, proactively solving problems and removing roadblocks

What You'll Bring

• Strong end-to-end project management experience within FMCG, beverage or another fast-paced consumer environment
• A track record of managing multiple complex projects and competing priorities
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence without direct authority
• Commercial acumen, sound judgement and strong prioritisation skills
• Comfort working through ambiguity, changing priorities and problems that don’t always come with a ready-made solution
• A proactive approach: you take ownership, seek out answers and keep things moving rather than waiting for direction
• Experience in innovation, NPD or commercialisation will be highly regarded, but you don’t need to currently work in an Innovation role.
• Why Vinarchy?
• Vinarchy is the global wine business behind brands including Jacob’s Creek, Hardys, Campo Viejo, Stoneleigh, Brancott Estate, Mud House, Grant Burge, St Hugo and Church Road.
• Innovation is a major priority for our business. You’ll have visibility with senior leaders, exposure across the organisation and the opportunity to influence how new ideas move from concept to market.
• If you thrive on complexity, pace and making things happen, we’d love to hear from you.
• Apply today! Or get in touch for a confidential chat.
• At Vinarchy, we are dedicated to building a diverse, dynamic and inclusive culture and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
• Prospective candidates will be required to provide proof of legal work rights and may be required to undertake relevant, role-appropriate pre‑employment screening.
• If you require any reasonable adjustments to participate in the recruitment process at any stage, please let us know. #LI-DNI
