Hewitt is growing, and in this newly created role we are searching for a communications Manager who understands how to unlock the value within our business and share our story with customers, consumers, employees and industry stakeholders.
As the voice of a vertically integrated business that owns its product from paddock to plate, you will connect our teams, international customers and the Australian rural community through engaging, purposeful communications. This role is ideal for a strategic communicator who can balance big-picture thinking with hands-on delivery, helping strengthen our reputation as we continue expanding into the US and Asian markets.
You are a strategic and confident communicator who can transform complex information into clear, compelling stories. Commercially minded, you understand the difference between a commodity and a premium brand, and how strong communications build reputation, trust and market presence.
You thrive in a fast-paced, global environment and bring sound judgement when working with senior leaders. Most importantly, you are passionate about purposeful storytelling and excited by the opportunity to help an Australian food company strengthen its voice on the global stage.
With 120 years of family ownership, Hewitt is an iconic Australian agricultural business with a deep commitment to land, livestock and community. Over the past decade, Hewitt has evolved from its livestock production origins into a global, sustainable protein producer, with premium organic and grass-fed brands stocked by leading retailers across Australia, the United States and Asia.
Guided by a vision to feed the world with a system that lasts forever, Hewitt delivers ethical, nutritious protein at global scale. Our fully integrated supply chain - spanning owned cattle stations, trusted producer partners, processing and retail - provides unmatched transparency, quality and resilience, setting Hewitt apart within the global food system.
Hewitt is a hands-on, collaborative business where being present matters. Whether in the office, on station, or in production, you’re contributing to something real: real food, real impact, real teamwork.
