At Carma, we’re more than just a car company, we’re on a mission to shake up the Australian automotive industry! As a digital pre-owned car dealership, we’re turning the car buying experience into a hassle-free, seamless journey that customers can truly enjoy. With our diverse and collaborative team managing everything from engineering to marketing and buying to reconditioning in-house, we’re powered by the best people and we’d love for you to come along for the ride.
As the Logistics Lead, you are the architect of Carma’s transport capability. This isn’t a coordination role—it’s a foundational one. You are accountable for establishing the structure, standards, and operating rhythm required to turn fragmented logistics into a scalable powerhouse, ensuring every vehicle flows efficiently, cost-effectively, and predictably across our entire network.
What you’ll be doing:
- Build the function: Establish the structure, standards, and operating rhythm required to turn fragmented logistics into a scalable powerhouse.
- Own the movement: Take full accountability for end-to-end vehicle flow across inbound, outbound, and inter-site movements.
- Align the network: Partner closely with Buying, Production, and Delivery teams to ensure logistics capacity is perfectly synced with business demand.
- Master the schedule: Plan and manage daily site schedules, balancing urgency with fleet utilisation and service levels.
- Optimise the Fleet: Manage internal trucks and drivers to ensure maximum efficiency, compliance, and readiness at all times.
- Manage external partners: Lead third-party transport providers to improve reliability, responsiveness, and total cost outcomes.
- Solve for the 'why': Use data and dashboards to identify inefficiencies early and lead root-cause analysis to fix recurring flow issues.
Success in this role is defined by creating a department that runs predictably, flows consistently, and improves over time without reliance on individuals.
Okay, let’s talk about you:
- Strategic builder: You have a proven track record of creating logistics processes and systems from scratch in high-growth environments.
- Operational expert: 5+ years of experience in logistics or fleet operations with a deep understanding of routing and scheduling.
- Cross-functional partner: Ability to work across departments to align complex logistics requirements with broader company goals.
- Commercial grit: You are data-driven with a strong ability to manage cost-per-unit and drive overall operational efficiency.
- Hands-on operator: A proactive problem-solver who doesn't wait for instructions and thrives on driving operational results.
- Agile operator: You thrive in fast-paced settings and are comfortable moving between high-level strategy and ground-level execution.
The essentials: Strong organisational skills, a meticulous eye for detail, and a valid, clean 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.
- At Carma, we’re all about fostering an amazing culture, where you can bring your best self to work! We value collaboration, innovation and having a laugh at work.
- Plus, we’re committed to diversity, inclusion and safe work practices, so no matter your background or experience (or car brand of choice!) we’d love to hear from you.
- Please let us know if you need any reasonable adjustments during the interview process.
