The SunRice Group is an Australian ASX-listed branded food group, comprising multiple businesses, assets and operations across Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, the United States, The Pacific Islands and Asia.  SunRice was built by the Australian rice industry over many decades and today is one of Australia’s leading branded food exporters, with approximately 2,000 employees and operations in 10 countries.

SunRice is a great place to work, providing a real opportunity for passionate people to make a difference.

About the role

At SunRice, everything starts with our consumers - and this role sits right at the heart of that belief.

We’re looking for a Senior Insights Manager to lead insights across our Rice portfolio in ANZ, helping us better understand how people shop, cook and enjoy our food every day. As our insights subject matter expert and thought leader, you’ll uncover what really matters to consumers and shoppers, and translate that into clear direction for our brands, innovation and commercial plans.

You’ll partner closely with Marketing, Sales, R&D, using insight to bring people on the journey - from the data, to the “so what”, to confident decisions that fuel growth. This is a 12‑month fixed‑term maternity leave cover and a great opportunity to step into a visible role where curiosity, collaboration and storytelling are just as important as analytical rigour.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Owning consumer, shopper and market insights for the Rice portfolio across ANZ
• Leading end‑to‑end qualitative and quantitative research, turning insight into clear direction for the business
• Applying a strong mix of research methodologies, shopper insight and data (including Circana) to inform strategy and performance
• Bringing data and numbers to life through simple, compelling storytelling that supports confident decision‑making
• Facilitating innovation sessions and planning workshops to inspire consumer‑led growth
• Building trusted relationships with stakeholders and championing a consumer‑first mindset across the organisation

About You

You’re naturally curious, commercially minded and passionate about understanding people. You enjoy connecting data with human behaviour and are energised by helping teams see things differently.

You’re comfortable owning ambiguity, asking the right questions and bringing clarity to complex challenges - all while keeping the consumer front and centre.

You will bring:

• Strong experience in consumer insights, analytics or market research, ideally within branded FMCG
• Deep capability across qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, including shopper insight
• Hands‑on experience working with data, numbers and tools such as Circana
• The ability to translate insight into clear, actionable recommendations that drive business outcomes
• Confidence presenting to senior stakeholders and influencing through storytelling
• Experience facilitating innovation or planning workshops
• Excellent stakeholder management skills and a collaborative, inclusive approach
• A genuine passion for food, consumers and brands, and a desire to make a meaningful impact

What’s in it for you

At SunRice Group, we believe great work starts with feeling supported, valued and inspired. When you join our team, you’ll enjoy a range of benefits designed to support your wellbeing, growth and everyday life.

• SunRice Product Allowance: Take home a taste of what we do best. You’ll receive a weekly allowance of SunRice Group products, so you can enjoy and share the food we’re proud to make.
• Leave: Enjoy competitive leave benefits, including volunteer leave and the option to purchase additional leave when you need extra flexibility.
• Wellness Reimbursement: Your wellbeing matters. Twice a year, you’ll be reimbursed for fitness memberships or other health and wellbeing initiatives that help you feel your best

If you love food, enjoy working with numbers and narratives, and are passionate about making a real impact, this is an exciting opportunity to join a purpose‑driven business with strong ambitions.

All correspondence will be dealt with in strict confidence.

SunRice is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. SunRice will consider qualified applicants for employment based on their merit, individual skills, qualifications and other appropriate criteria relevant to the role for which they are applying.
