Sourcing Analyst/Buyer

The Sourcing Analyst will support the Ampol Cleaning Consumables Sourcing Review by conducting detailed market research, supplier benchmarking and product validation across 88 consumable lines covering cleaning chemicals, washroom consumables, bin liners, gloves, hand care products, janitorial equipment and specialty cleaning items.

The primary objective of this role is to identify commercially competitive sourcing solutions while supporting a supplier consolidation strategy. Analysts are required to prioritise sourcing through key wholesale partners including Bunzl, ABCO and the RapidClean network before investigating manufacturer-direct or alternative supply channels.

For each product line within the sourcing workbook, the analyst will identify and document:

Exact like-for-like product matches where available
Supplier name and contact details
Supplier SKU and product hyperlink
Cost price and pack size
Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)
Estimated lead time
Freight assumptions
Unit of Measure (UOM) validation
Product classification (Like-for-Like, Alternate or Not Found)
SDS, compliance or certification requirements where applicable

Analysts must validate manufacturer-specific products with approved suppliers including Agar, SC Johnson/Diversey, Kimberly-Clark, Tork, Oates, Sabco and Truvox where required.

A strong focus should be placed on data accuracy, supplier consolidation opportunities, compliance validation and identification of cost-saving opportunities. The final output will provide a clean, structured sourcing database that supports procurement decision-making, supplier rationalisation and category management initiatives.
