Lead effective dispatch and daily scheduling in partnership with customer service, sales and operations
Maintain fleet presentation, reliability and regulatory compliance
Resolve customer issues quickly and turn recurring problems into lasting improvements
Bring teams together across functions to deliver better Auckland-wide outcomes

What you’ll bring

Strong operational leadership across sizeable fleets, dispersed teams or time-critical delivery environments
Confidence using data, analytics and performance measures to spot trends, challenge assumptions and drive action
A collaborative, low-ego style—you build trust, listen well and play for the whole team
The courage to set clear expectations, hold people accountable and lead change constructively
Strong planning, prioritisation and problem-solving capability in a fast-moving environment
Commercial acumen and a track record of sustainable cost and productivity improvement
An unwavering commitment to safety, wellbeing and customer care

If you’ve led logistics at scale, are at home in the data and know that the best results come from bringing people with you, we’d love to hear from you.
