Operations & Automation Analyst

SKUTOPIA is on a mission to democratise and decarbonise logistics.

SKUTOPIA is a deep-tech logistics company operating under a dual RaaS (Robotics-as-a-Service) and SaaS model. We deliver end-to-end, AI-powered robotic fulfilment for retailers - eliminating inefficiencies inherent in traditional 3PL models, such as human error, high labour costs, and carbon-heavy processes.

Our advanced robotics and proprietary AI empower our customers to scale faster with high-speed, high-quality fulfilment at a fraction of the typical cost - while also driving both revenue and profit growth.

Founded in 2018 by Talea Bader and Emily Townsend, SKUTOPIA began as Sydney's first eCommerce co-working space. After witnessing firsthand the logistics challenges faced by SMBs, the founders evolved the business into a tech-first fulfilment solution.

● Support external discussions between SKUTOPIA and partners.

● Track effectiveness of implemented solutions on a monthly basis.

● SOP creation and development

Work with the Head of Operations to ensure that all aspects of an operation or process

We think you will need:

● Strong experience in Supply Chain, preferably within a warehousing and logistics environment.

● Creative and open mindset.

● High level of analysis and long term view.

● Adaptable and hands on approach.

When you join us, you'll be an important pillar of a rapidly growing company. From day one you will be challenged to take risks, think big and make an impact while getting lots of love and support from the team. With our expected growth over the next 12 months, this is a role with plenty of breadth and variety where you can grow with us and be proud of what we achieve together.
