- Establishing clearer processes, responsibilities and performance measures
- Leading teams across logistics, fulfilment, customer service, sales and support
- Improving supply chain, procurement, inventory and supplier performance
- Increasing visibility across budgets, cash flow, landed costs and margins
- Introducing practical KPIs, reporting, automation and business systems
- Supporting the continued growth of wholesale, B2B, retail and e-commerce channels
- Developing people and creating a stronger culture of accountability
- Identifying opportunities to improve the overall commercial performance of the business
What’s on Offer
- $150,000 base salary + superannuation + performance-based commission
- Newly created executive leadership role with genuine ownership and influence
- Direct access to the Founder and key decision-makers
- Work alongside a dedicated and passionate team
- The opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact on a growing Australian business
About You
You are an experienced commercial and operational leader who understands that strategy only matters when it gets executed.
You will ideally have:
- Senior leadership experience in a COO, Operations Director or comparable position
- Strong commercial judgement and an understanding of financial performance, margins and cost control
- A demonstrated history of improving businesses, processes and operational efficiency
- Experience across wholesale, distribution, supply chain, retail, e-commerce or manufacturing
- Strong people leadership skills and the ability to create accountability
- The confidence to challenge existing ways of working and implement better ones
- A practical, hands-on approach rather than a purely strategic leadership style
Why This Role?
This is an opportunity to join a business with a strong foundation and take on a key leadership role in driving its next phase of growth, while enabling the MD to focus on broader strategic opportunities.
For the right person, this is a role where you can see the impact of your decisions, build something meaningful and help shape the future of the organisation.
