Your Mission

Translate Strategy to Execution: Develop seasonal logistical strategies into concrete, quantifiable daily, weekly, and monthly capacity KPIs. Monitor and report these actionable KPIs to management for operational visibility, bottleneck identification, proactive decision-making, and efficient resource utilization within the assigned country.
Distribution Network Optimization: Lead strategic projects to enhance the distribution network's service levels and achieve sustainable cost reduction, measured by improved On-Time, In-Full (OTIF) performance and documented savings.

End-to-End Supply Chain Visibility and Exception Management: Proactively maintain complete visibility of all in-transit inbound shipments, using tracking systems and collaboration to anticipate and prevent potential delays. Act as the primary liaison for resolving exceptions—such as customs holds or carrier issues—to ensure an uninterrupted flow of goods.
End-to-End Logistics & Transportation Management: Seamlessly manage the entire flow of goods, coordinating cross-functionally to align logistics with demand and guarantee on-time delivery. This involves robust order prioritization, strategic transportation selection balancing cost, speed, and reliability, and transparent communication of potential delays to all stakeholders.
- Inventory Control & Financial Management
Process Standardization & Optimization: Lead the establishment and documentation of essential SOPs with our 3PL partner to streamline critical operational workflows, reduce variability, and optimize service delivery, especially for commercially strategic customers.

Proactively investigate discrepancies and implement corrective actions to minimize shrinkage and ensure optimal stock availability.

About the Team
We, the APAC team, are responsible for developing On across the region APAC. APAC is made up of markets managed by distribution partners as well as Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Oceania, markets that we manage directly with our own teams. As we’re combining both to build one region, we’re exploring and defining how to work together as we’re seeing the business grow - and planning for increased growth in the future. With this in mind, we’re a team that’s on the move, enjoying the opportunity to shape and seeing the results of our work everyday.
The Oceania team is currently sitting at 40+ people across the region, with 30+ based in the Melbourne office. We have recently established a local Oceania Operations team and your role would be a key pillar within this function. We are focused and data-driven, but are also action-oriented and able to multitask, we are also continuously challenging the status quo and "industry standard".
