**What you'll need**:

- Ace with computers and comfortable with adopting and promoting the use of new tech

- Tip top organisation skills. You’re definitely a bit obsessive about whatever you do being the very best there is, checking you’ve got things right. Its your job, not someone else’s
- You love people, you'll be working amongst other awesome humans
- You’ll need to be flexible and expect the role and responsibilities to adapt as the operation matures (like a fine wine)
- Previous warehouse or Transport scheduling experience is an advantage

**Why else you'll love it here**:
