Logistics Senior Lead

Carma

This job is closed: the employer no longer lists it.

Responsibilities

  • Monitor daily operations to spot disruptions early and investigate the underlying operational breaks rather than treating surface-level symptoms.
  • Interpret movement data and operational reports to refine work methods, eliminate waste, and elevate turnaround performance in line with Carma’s guidelines.

Requirements

  • Proven experience leading teams in a fast-paced production or automotive environment
  • Ability to drive performance through people, not just manage tasks
  • Strong capability in setting expectations, holding standards, and addressing underperformance
  • Experience building team capability to improve output, quality and flow
  • Confidence operating on the floor — engaging, directing and supporting teams in real time
  • Strong problem-solving skills with a focus on identifying root causes
  • Exposure to lean / continuous improvement environments (highly regarded)

Scheduling & movement flow

Act as the operational lead for Logistics—owning the calendar, rostering, and allocation for internal and external fleets across Sydney metro to maximize truck efficiency and hit throughput targets.

Fleet, safety & compliance

Maintain high standards across the fleet by enforcing pre-start checks, scheduled maintenance, WHS guidelines, and Chain of Responsibility (CoR) practices.

High-performance leadership

Lead, roster, and grow the onsite and driver team—managing day-to-day admin, building capability through feedback, and setting clear expectations for peak performance.

Cross-departmental alignment

Manage dynamic vehicle demand across Buying, Sales, Wholesale, and Operations, hosting regular standups and team meetings to stay aligned on shifting needs.

Okay, let’s talk about you

  • Ability to prioritise and adapt in a high-output, fast-changing environment
  • Working knowledge of Chain of Responsibility, fatigue management, mass and load restraint (TLIF0009 or willingness to complete)
  • High attention to detail and commitment to quality standards
  • Valid NSW Driver’s Licence

What's in it for you?

  • We wouldn’t be a car business if we didn’t give you some $$ off our Carma cars, parts and NRMA cover.
  • Join our high-performing, forward-thinking team and help shake up car buying in Australia.
  • Join a team that values quality as much as quantity — we believe in working hard, having fun and delivering an exceptional product.
