What will you be doing?

  • Own the P&L: Drive revenue growth, optimise costs, and expand margins for Victoria’s $100M operation.

  • Lead the team: Mentor and inspire near 100 person team, supported by six direct managers.

  • Data-driven execution: Track and manage KPIs to diagnose issues and implement improvements quickly.

  • Expand facilities: Lead planning and execution for new Melbourne locations, with scope to shape national expansion.

  • Strategic partnership: Act as a trusted partner to the CEO and Founder’s team, influencing growth strategy and execution roadmap.

What is in your toolkit?

  • Hands-on leadership style: pragmatic, decisive, and able to balance strategy with day-to-day execution.

  • Strong data-driven mindset, with the ability to analyse KPIs and translate insights into action.

  • Resilient, adaptable, and motivated to deliver results in a fast-growth, entrepreneurial environment.

Why apply?

  • Lead the scaling of Victoria’s operation, with direct visibility to global founders.

  • Play a pivotal role in shaping the next growth phase in Australia, including facility expansion and national scaling.

  • Benefit from a competitive executive package, including base salary, performance bonus, and equity with significant upside linked to a near-term IPO.

  • Join a high-growth, digital-first business where your impact will be measurable and career-defining.
