Jason Jaensch
PROCUREMENT MANAGER
As procurement manager for Quickstep, I both source materials for the business and set up strategic partnerships with suppliers. It means you need to be across all aspects of the business – and be good with people.
Relationship building
I initially studied commerce and have a background in manufacturing and supply chain roles. I transitioned to procurement looking for another challenge, and it definitely suits me. Outside work I’m fairly active and I coach kids’ sports. I love teaching and helping people.
You need to build good relationships – and that also plays a huge role at work. You can build a competitive advantage with suppliers by building good relationships.
A new journey
I work with a nice group of people and it’s great to be part of a growing company. It feels like we’re at the start of a new and exciting journey.
