• Strong commercial and analytical capability, with experience analysing fleet cost, utilisation and performance to identify improvement opportunities.
• Experience monitoring supplier performance and working effectively with fleet management providers, leasing providers, manufacturers, dealerships and other suppliers.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the confidence to provide clear, practical specialist advice.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and exercise sound professional judgement.
• Intermediate to advanced Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel and reporting tools.
• Current Australian driver’s licence and ability to travel interstate as required.

Highly regarded:

• Experience supporting or managing a national fleet within aged care, community services, healthcare, not-for-profit or another regulated environment.
• Experience with fleet management systems, telematics or asset management platforms.
• Experience with electric or hybrid vehicle transition and fleet sustainability initiatives.
