Linktal Recruitment

Date: 3 weeks ago
City: Bankstown, New South Wales
Salary: A$90,000 - A$110,000 / yr
Contract type: Full time

This is a chance to lead from the front and take ownership.

No, it isn't a role where you'll cover for your manager and supervise when needed.

Here, you will lead from the front, taking ownership of the Imports team in this rapidly growing logistics company while remaining hands-on.

With the role opening up due to growth, this could be an opportunity for you to experience a different environment as a leader, or grow from a senior operator/customer service into a team leader.

Why consider?

  • $90 - $110k + super + bonus
  • Join an established global logistics player with a track record of growth and stability
  • Work closely with the CEO. Your contribution and impact is visible.
  • A chance to grow into a manager once you establish yourself.
  • Asia-focused trade lane. Operate in an already-busy & yet growing trade lane.
  • Condell Park location; ideal if you want to skip the airport traffic

In this role, you will

  • Lead and support a team of 5+ import operators day to day
  • Do P&L reporting and ensure job profitability
  • Train the local & overseas back-office team
  • Manage end-to-end import shipments across air and sea freight
  • Own a dedicated portfolio of clients as their key operational contact
  • Coordinate with overseas agents, shipping lines, airlines, and service providers
  • Prepare documentation for customs clearance and biosecurity requirements

To be successful, you have

  • 3+ years of import operations (sea & air) experience in freight forwarding
  • Prior team lead/supervisory experience is an advantage, but not a dealbreaker
  • Mandarin skills to liaise with overseas agents & clients
  • CargoWise experience

You'll be joining a global logistics provider with a strong presence across all major ports in AU and few decades since establishment. Despite their established scale, this business still very much revolves around family-oriented values and close-knit culture.
