We're a family‐run business in the premium beverage and wellness space, with two growing brands - Polka & Frank Simple - and a private label manufacturing arm. After a strong year of national retail growth (think Dan Murphy's, Woolworths, Coles, and beyond), we're hiring a Warehouse Operations Manager to take ownership of our Adelaide warehouse and keep our orders, stock, and dispatch running like clockwork.
This is a hands‐on, end‐to‐end role for someone who loves variety, takes pride in keeping things organised, and gets a quiet kick out of a perfectly stacked pallet. You'll be the engine room of our operations – with plenty of room to grow into a senior operations role as we scale.
What you'll be doing
* Picking, packing, and dispatching ecommerce and wholesale orders accurately and on time
* Building and arranging pallets ready for dispatch
* Managing stock end‐to‐end – receiving deliveries, running stock takes, keeping supplies topped up
* Helping with stock forecasting so we never run short (or overstock)
* Coordinating transport and liaising with courier and freight partners
* Operating the forklift safely (experience is a plus, but training can be provided)
* Completing local metro deliveries to retail and distribution partners
* Pitching in across the wider warehouse and supporting day‐to‐day small business operations
What we're looking for
* Strong attention to detail
* A natural organiser who likes systems and keeps things moving
* Comfort with basic logistics or order‐management software (we can train you, but a base understanding helps)
* Physical ability to lift 20kg cartons – there's some heavy lifting in this role
* A self‐starter mindset – happy working independently, and a strong team player when it counts
* A reliable, can‐do attitude and pride in your work
* A current forklift licence (we can support you to get one if not)
* Previous warehouse, logistics, or order‐fulfilment experience
* Familiarity with ecommerce platforms (Shopify) and freight or 3PL systems
* Some experience with stock forecasting, inventory management, or purchasing
Why work with us
We're a small, ambitious team with two growing national brands, a private label manufacturing arm, and big plans. You'll get real responsibility from day one, a friendly day‐to‐day, and the chance to grow into a bigger operations role as we scale. We back people who take initiative, care about the details, and bring honest, good energy to a hands‐on environment.
