About SOLV'D

SOLV'D is Queensland's innovative home styling startup, dedicated to elevating homes through beautifully curated property staging. As a growing company in the dynamic world of furniture hire and home staging, we pride ourselves on our close-knit team and collaborative culture. We're looking for a steady leader who can provide guidance while trusting our experienced team to leverage their strengths—building on our existing close-knit vibe.

About the Role

In this pivotal position as Data Analyst / Operations Manager, you'll drive data-driven decisions while overseeing the backbone of our operations in a flexible startup environment. You'll wear many hats, stepping in hands-on when needed while empowering the team to execute independently. The role emphasises in-depth data and business analysis to optimise rental asset utilisation, forecast demand by category, and analyse cost recovery on deliveries and logistics, alongside tackling the unique challenges of furniture hire for home staging, including meticulous stock care, efficient processes, and seamless logistics. A key emphasis will be on leading workplace health and safety initiatives to create a secure environment for our team.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct full lifecycle data analysis, including collecting, cleaning, and interpreting data to provide actionable insights on rental asset utilisation, demand forecasting by category, and cost recovery for deliveries and logistics.
• Develop, implement, and maintain analytics systems to identify trends, opportunities, and efficiencies in operations, supporting informed decision-making across the business.
• Lead and nurture our established warehouse and logistics team, providing steady guidance while fostering trust and autonomy.
• Oversee inventory management, including tracking, maintenance, and care of furniture and staging items to maintain pristine condition.
• Coordinate deliveries, installations, and removals, ensuring timely and efficient logistics that align with client staging timelines.
• Develop and refine processes for stock handling, warehouse operations, and supply chain in the context of home staging demands.
• Lead workplace health and safety efforts, including developing and updating safety protocols, documents, and training programs to comply with regulations and promote a safe working environment.
• Conduct regular safety audits, risk assessments, and incident reporting to minimise hazards in furniture handling and warehouse activities.
• Collaborate with stylists, clients, and external partners to resolve operational challenges and support creative projects.
• Monitor and optimise warehouse safety, organisation, and efficiency in a fast-paced, evolving startup setting.
• Contribute to business growth by identifying opportunities for process improvements without disrupting our strong team culture.
• Manage databases, troubleshoot data issues, and create visualisations and reports to communicate findings to leadership and teams.

Qualifications & Skills

• Proven experience in data analysis, operations management, logistics, or warehouse roles, ideally in furniture, retail, rental, or home staging industries.
• Strong analytical skills with expertise in data analysis tools (e.g., Excel, SQL, Tableau, Python, or BI platforms) for conducting complex analyses, trend identification, and forecasting.
• Proficiency in statistical methods, data visualisation, and providing insights to drive business decisions.
• Strong leadership skills with a track record of guiding teams in dynamic environments—hands-on when required, but able to delegate effectively.
• Excellent organisational, problem-solving, and communication abilities, with a focus on process optimisation, attention to detail, and presenting data-driven recommendations.
• Demonstrated expertise in workplace health and safety, including knowledge of Queensland WH&S regulations, risk management, and developing safety documentation.
• Passion for nurturing collaborative cultures and building on existing team strengths.
• Ability to thrive in a startup: flexible, adaptable, and comfortable wearing multiple hats.
• Knowledge of inventory software, logistics tools, and best practices for stock care in high-value items like furniture.
• Physical capability for occasional hands-on tasks, such as moving items or site visits.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to grow with a passionate startup in Queensland's home styling scene.
• A supportive, close-knit team environment where your contributions make a real impact.
• Competitive salary.
