The role of procurement and logistics professionals 

A strong supply chain ensures efficiency, cost control, and adaptability in the face of disruptions. Skilled professionals such as Procurement Managers, Supply Chain Analysts, Logistics Coordinators, and Operations Directors are instrumental in achieving these goals. Their expertise supports: 

 

  • Supply Chain Resilience: Diversifying supplier bases and navigating global shifts, such as the move from China to ASEAN economies like Vietnam and Indonesia. 
  • Digital Transformation: Leveraging AI-driven analytics and automation to enhance decision-making and operational efficiency. 
  • Sustainability: Integrating green practices into logistics operations to meet environmental regulations. 

Key trends shaping procurement and logistics recruitment in 2025 

The recruitment landscape in Australia is evolving rapidly. Here are some key trends: 

 

  1. Technology Integration: 
    Companies increasingly prioritise candidates with experience in supply chain management software, real-time tracking tools, and data analytics. These skills streamline operations and support strategic decision-making. 
  2. Sustainability Focus: 
    With stricter environmental regulations, businesses seek professionals skilled in sustainable logistics solutions. This trend aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon footprints while maintaining operational efficiency. 
  3. Rise of Interim Hiring: 
     The demand for interim roles is growing as businesses navigate economic uncertainty. This flexible workforce strategy allows organisations to address immediate needs without long-term commitments. 
  4. Soft Skills Demand: 
     Beyond technical expertise, communication, collaboration, and emotional intelligence are becoming critical for cross-functional roles in procurement.

The hidden edge: What volunteering taught me about leadership

by Paula Price • 27 April 2025
Senior executives are constantly navigating complex decisions, inspiring teams, driving results, and carrying the weight of corporate leadership. We are conditioned to lead — to solve, to direct, to deliver. But in this relentless drive to lead, we often forget the power of simply following. Over the years, one of the most transformative experiences in my professional development didn’t come from a boardroom, a leadership program, or a keynote at a summit. It came from volunteering. And more specifically, from being the manager of a number of high-performance rugby teams. At first glance, the role seemed simple: logistics, admin, support. Not exactly the stuff of strategic leadership. But there, on the sidelines, filling water bottles, washing jerseys, preparing paper work, and coordinating team meals, I rediscovered a truth that too many senior professionals lose touch with — the power of service, and the dignity of the roles that go unnoticed. These menial, often thankless tasks, were crucial to the team’s success. And in doing them, I was reminded of how often in our organisations we overlook the people who create the conditions for performance — the unsung operators, coordinators, assistants, and enablers. This experience fundamentally shifted the way I lead. I no longer see these roles as peripheral. I see them as the bedrock of any high-performing culture.  More importantly, stepping out of a leadership identity — even temporarily — gave me the space to remember who I am without the title. Not the CEO, not the CFO, not the strategist or the fixer — just a person in service of something greater than themselves. That humility is grounding. It makes you more empathetic, more observant, and more connected. And paradoxically, it makes you a better leader when you return to your day job.
