About the role

The Cultivation and Supply Planning Lead plays a key role in ensuring our cultivation strategy aligns with commercial demand, supporting a reliable and consistent supply of products across our medicinal cannabis portfolio.

In this role, you will translate demand forecasts into cultivation programs, providing oversight of crop planning, harvest projections, biomass availability, and inventory visibility. Working closely with cultivation, manufacturing, commercial, and operations teams, you will help ensure production output supports product launches, portfolio priorities, and evolving customer demand.

By analysing cultivation performance and supply outcomes, you will generate insights that strengthen yield performance, improve supply reliability, and enhance planning accuracy. The role also supports the evaluation of new cultivars and external supply sourcing when required, helping maintain continuity of supply as the business grows.

This is an exciting opportunity to sit at the intersection of cultivation, supply planning, and commercial strategy, helping shape how we deliver high quality medicinal cannabis products to market.

To support flexibility, this role can be offered full time or part time (four days per week) depending on the successful candidate’s availability.
