National Logistics Manager

Location: sydney
Salary: Competitive Salary + Benefits
Job Type: permanent
Contact: James Jamieson
The company: I’m currently working exclusively with the charity Foodbank who are Australia’s largest food relief organisation. They provide more than 70% of the food rescued for food relief organisations nation-wide. Last year, they sourced the equivalent of 82 million meals for their 2,950 charity partners, providing food relief to more than a million people each month.

The role: Working as the National Logistics Manager, you will be responsible for Foodbank Australia’s logistics/transport needs with a focus on ensuring that the business is able to maximise the usage of the pro bono support they receive from National Donors/Logistics Partners, as well as arranging low bono support where required. To do this, you will have to nurture relationships with existing National Donors/Logistics Partners, knowing when to ask for support as well as branching out and looking to establish new relationships with new Donors/Logistics Partners who are not yet engaged with Foodbank. Once a donation comes through, the Logistics Manager will work to arrange collection and distribution of the goods to the state foodbanks, by working/liaising with donors and the state foodbanks, to decide the most efficient and effective way to send them and how best to go about moving them around the national network.

The person: to be considered for this Logistics Manager role, Foodbank are looking for someone with the following background:
  • Previous experience in a Logistics role
  • Strong stakeholder management skills
  • Intermediate Excel skills
  • Experience in FMCG (desirable)
