Today, we're proud to be part of a leading international mobility group, combining the strength and stability of global ownership with the agility, customer focus and entrepreneurial spirit that has made Bargain Car Rentals a trusted Australian brand.

As we continue to grow across Australia, we're looking for an experienced and inspiring Branch Manager to lead our Adelaide operation.

This is more than an operational management role. It's an opportunity to build a high-performing team, create exceptional customer experiences and play a key role in the success of a growing national business.

About the Role

Based at our Adelaide branch, you'll oversee the day-to-day operation of a busy customer-facing location where delivering exceptional service, leading people and maintaining operational excellence are at the heart of everything you do.

Managing daily branch operations, fleet logistics, presentation and service standards.

Driving sales and commercial performance by leading the team to achieve sales targets while maximising revenue through effective fleet utilisation and operational decision-making.

Driving operational and financial performance through key performance indicators (KPIs).

Leading recruitment, onboarding, training and ongoing employee development.

Ensuring compliance with company policies, WHS requirements and operational procedures.

Working collaboratively with senior leaders, support departments and other branches to drive continuous improvement.

Leading from the front and supporting the team during busy operational periods.

No two days are the same. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll balance people, customers and operational performance while creating an engaged, high-performing team.

About You

An experienced leader with a proven ability to develop high-performing teams.

Passionate about delivering exceptional customer service.

Commercially minded with strong operational and financial awareness.

Confident coaching, mentoring and managing performance.

Highly organised with excellent problem-solving skills.

Calm under pressure and able to adapt in a fast-paced environment.

An effective communicator who builds strong relationships with customers, colleagues and stakeholders.

Hold a current, unrestricted Australian Driver Licence.

Ideally you'll have:

Previous experience managing a branch, depot or multi-functional operation.

Experience leading teams of 10 or more employees.

Strong customer service, sales and operational management experience.

Experience within car rental, tourism, transport, hospitality, retail or another fast-paced service industry (desirable).

Competitive salary package.

Fully maintained company vehicle for business and personal use.

Company laptop and phone allowance to support your success in the role.

Opportunity to earn quarterly performance incentives based on branch results.

Access exclusive employee discounts through Employment Hero.

Lead your own branch and make a genuine impact, supported by proven systems, processes and a collaborative leadership team.

Genuine career progression opportunities as our network continues to grow.

Ongoing learning and professional development opportunities.

Ready to take the next step?
