Why Join Dematic?

At Dematic, we're a global leader in intelligent storage and automation solutions — but it's our people who make the difference. Here, you'll join a team that values innovation, collaboration, and excellence. Based in our Belrose office on Sydney's Northern Beaches, you'll take the lead on a respected product offering, make a real impact on business growth, and connect with passionate industry professionals who love what they do.

About the Role

We're looking for a Distributor Manager to join our Storage Equipment Division (SED). Reporting to the Division Director, you'll help grow and support our Colby network, driving success across Australia and New Zealand. It's a role that blends hands-on technical support with strategic business development — and you'll lead a small, capable team while working closely with our sales, R&D, marketing, and supply chain teams.

If you're someone who stays calm under pressure, communicates with confidence and diplomacy, and enjoys working with independent business owners, this could be a great fit. We currently offer a hybrid working setup — time in the office, some flexibility to work from home, and travel across Australia and New Zealand.
