About This Position

We are currently recruiting for a Logistics Specialist on behalf of a growing consumer-facing business in Melbourne.

This is not a routine desk-based coordination role. It is a practical, high-impact position for someone who understands warehouse execution, external logistics partners, and the operational discipline required to support a growing business.

The company is entering a major growth phase, and logistics is becoming a critical part of that journey. This role will suit someone who can stay close to the field, improve execution standards, support KPI visibility, and help build a more scalable and reliable logistics function.

For the right person, this opportunity also offers genuine growth potential. The role will begin at Specialist level, with the possibility of stepping into a Manager title after probation if performance and leadership potential are clearly demonstrated.

What does your next role look like?

In this role, you will:

 • Support inbound and day-to-day logistics operations
 • Work closely with external warehouse and transport partners
 • Monitor stock movement, delivery performance, and operational flow
 • Support KPI management and service level performance
 • Help identify issues, improve execution, and lift operational standards on the ground
 • Coordinate with internal teams across stores, operations, finance, merchandising, and related functions
 • Assist with stock accuracy, discrepancy follow-up, and logistics administration
 • Spend regular time on-site at the warehouse to support operational improvement
 • Contribute to a growing business through practical problem-solving and continuous improvement

A little about you

We are looking for a practical, driven, and adaptable logistics professional.

You will likely bring:

 • Solid hands-on experience in 3PL and/or warehouse operations
 • Strong understanding of operational flow across inbound, outbound, delivery, and stock movement
 • Confidence working with external vendors and logistics stakeholders
 • Experience supporting or driving process improvement in a logistics environment
 • Strong English communication skills in a professional setting
 • A proactive mindset and the ability to work effectively in a changing environment
 • A willingness to be on-site and stay close to warehouse operations
 • A genuine sense of ownership, quality awareness, and care in handling products and processes

 

The following will be highly regarded:

 • Experience in EC fulfilment and/or distribution centre operations
 • Retail, FMCG, or consumer goods logistics background
 • KPI or SLA monitoring experience
 • Exposure to import or customs-related coordination
 • Strong Excel skills
 • Japanese language ability
 • Experience in Kaizen, Lean, or continuous improvement environments
