Launched in 2013, Loco Love’s reputation in producing conscious chocolates that resonate with both the palate and soul has paved the way for its unprecedented popularity. We’ve been featured in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Gourmet Traveller and most recently we were selected as one of the AFR’s Fast 100 - in the top 100 fastest growing companies in the Australia market.
The quality of ingredients we use are vital to the alchemy of our high-vibe products. We only use the finest organic, plant-based and whole food ingredients. Our sorcery is in the unique blend of superfoods, tonic herbs, probiotics and healing spices; chocolate with benefits. We hold deep reverence for nature and operate with gratitude for the beauty that surrounds us. When sourcing our ingredients, we prioritise socially responsible suppliers that care about quality and craft, pay their farmers fairly, respect the earth and can provide traceable supply chains. You will never find refined sugars, palm oil, artificial sweeteners, GMO’s, emulsifiers, dairy or gluten in our products.
About the Role: Loco Love is seeking a proactive, solutions-focused and people-loving Dispatch Team Lead to join our warehouse team in Byron Bay.

This is a hands-on role for someone who leads by example, brings positive energy and thrives in a fast-paced environment, especially in the lead-up to our busy peak season.
