Are you a people-first leader with a passion for delivering exceptional service? Do you thrive in dynamic environments where your decisions have a real impact? We’re looking for a proactive and strategic Customer Service Manager to lead service excellence within a fast-paced freight management and logistics organisation.

About the Opportunity

This is more than just a service desk role. You’ll be the driving force behind customer satisfaction, overseeing all aspects of service delivery, issue resolution, and continuous improvement in a high-volume transport environment. You'll empower a small team, shape culture, and collaborate closely with operations, finance, and business development to deliver on our customer promise.

What You’ll Do

  • Champion a high-performance, “can-do” customer service culture.
  • Lead and continuously improve customer support processes and systems.
  • Manage customer queries from initial contact to resolution—including transport orders, PODs, returns, and damage claims.
  • Build strong relationships with key clients, internal teams, and carriers.
  • Develop scalable service offerings for existing and new customers.
  • Support onboarding and seamless integration of new client accounts.
  • Navigate demand spikes and exceptions with agility and precision.
  • Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and service standards.

You’ll Lead

  • A small, growing team of dedicated customer service professionals.
  • Internal alignment between customer support, operations, and finance.

What You’ll Bring

  • A background in road transport or logistics operations (highly regarded).
  • Proven experience in customer service management within an operational, high-volume environment.
  • Strong understanding of transport order management systems and workflows.
  • High-level communication skills and ability to adapt to a variety of customer needs.
  • Analytical mindset with excellent judgment and problem-solving ability.
  • A proactive, hands-on leadership style and team-first attitude.

Bonus if you have:

  • Key account management or business development experience.
  • Exposure to customer portal or claims/returns systems.
  • A relevant tertiary qualification (or equivalent industry experience).

What’s in It for You?

  • Join a purpose-driven organisation focused on simplifying freight.
  • Be part of a growing and innovative business.
  • Contribute to an environmentally responsible and tech-forward industry.
  • Enjoy a role with autonomy, growth, and impact—right at the customer frontline.
