Business Analyst

Business Analyst – Last Mile Logistics

Help us scale a growing circular economy business

The Business

Billy Bubbles solves a simple but frustrating problem: running out of gas for your sodastream. Instead of customers carrying empty cylinders back to a store, we let them book online, leave cylinders at their door, and swap them for full ones.

We put
customers and the planet first

. Through a circular economy approach, we reduce waste and create convenience. With high year on year growth, we're scaling rapidly and need operations that can keep up.

The Role

Business Analyst will be responsible for
designing, improving, and scaling

our last-mile delivery service. This is not a "keep the lights on" role — it's about building systems and processes that will work when we're twice the size in two years, without adding extra management layers.

You'll manage logistics operations, warehouse operations, and inventory, but the biggest part of the role is
problem solving and systems design

: anticipating issues before they happen, creating scalable solutions, and making data-informed decisions that reduce costs and errors.

Where We're At as a Business

Billy Bubbles is still in its early stages of growth. Right now, the full-time team is just me (the founder) and you, supported by our network of casual delivery drivers. That means your role will be broad and hands-on,  there's no hiding in layers of management or waiting for someone else to pick up the slack.

As the business grows, other areas of the team (like customer support, marketing, and product development) will expand before operations does. This makes it even more important that operations are built on strong, scalable systems now. If processes rely too much on manual effort, they'll break under the pressure of high year-on-year growth. Your challenge, and opportunity, is to make sure operations stay smooth, efficient, and scalable without adding more management headcount.

For the right person, this is exciting. You'll have huge ownership and visibility, with your work directly shaping how we grow. But it also means the role requires resilience, problem solving, and the mindset to build things that last.

Primary Responsibilities

• Develop strategies to scale last mile delivery
  that you execute

in multiple cities around Australia.

• Optimise logistics workflows for
  scalability, efficiency, and cost control

.

• Manage, train, and support delivery drivers, holding them accountable to performance standards.

• Plan and oversee warehouse & inventory to ensure demand is met without inefficiency.

• Build and document processes that are
  repeatable, simple, and scalable

.

• Track and analyse operational data to inform improvements.

• Step in to resolve operational issues, but focus on
  systemic fixes over quick patches

.
