Commercial Projects Specialist
Ofload | Sydney | Full-time | apply.workable.com |
At Ofload, we're at the forefront of digital freight services, empowering businesses to build efficient, flexible, and sustainable supply chains. Our mission is to achieve zero waste in trucking by digitising the transport industry.
Every day in Australia, around 30% of trucks travel empty and a further 50% are idle amounting to mass inefficiency and harmful environmental impacts.
Since 2020, we've successfully removed over 5 million empty kms from Australian roads. Our customer base has expanded to over 250 businesses, and we proudly support small business carriers by connecting them with household brands like Asahi, Metcash, and Noumi.
As part of our sustainability commitment, we partnered with Trace to measure, reduce and offset our emissions, actively working to minimise our own environmental impact.
In 2022, we propelled our growth through the strategic acquisition of a Melbourne-based logistics company, and raised $60m in Series B funding. Notably, we were recognised by the Australian Financial Review as one of Australia’s Most Innovative Companies.
Fast forward to 2023, Ofload was named a Deloitte Tech Fast 50 Company in Australia, and secured the 4th spot on the LinkedIn Top Startups List 2023. And here's the exciting part – we're just getting started!
We are looking to grow our team and welcome people excited by the opportunity to transform the logistics industry. If you're ready to be part of a dynamic team driving change, join us on this incredible journey!
The Role
This newly created role reports directly to our Senior Commercial Manager, and sits within our Commercial team - an essential part of the future growth and success of Ofload. The main objective of the role will be in driving and project managing the tender lifecycle (the lifeblood of our commercial operations), managing commercial contracts with strategic shippers and ensuring appropriate document governance, while constantly looking for opportunities to digitalise the bid and contract management processes for the business.
What You’ll Do
• Project manage the end-to-end tender life-cycle - connecting key stakeholders (including but not limited to Commercial, Sales and Operations teams) responsible for preparing, reviewing, and submitting major commercial proposals.
• Lead the implementation of a commercial contract management process and approach - supporting the Senior Commercial Manager and Head of Commercial on this topic.
• Assist in the review of commercial contracts, offer suggestions related to terms and conditions to balance risk appetite, manage potential risks, and address the needs of the various stakeholders.
• Create effective and reliable processes and tools to manage a growing portfolio of commercial contracts with key shippers.
• Support Commercial leadership in analysis of composition and health of contracts to inform strategic decisions related to the customer portfolio.
• Ensure appropriate document governance is followed in relation to all contractual artefacts during the contract life-cycle including obligations relating to document retention, storage, availability, and post-contract termination.
• Work with Operations and Finance to support solutions and leading practices that protect data contained in contracts and other sensitive documents; meet compliance requirements, and minimise risks for the business.
• Identify and execute on opportunities to digitise the contract management process for the business.
What You’ll Bring
• Demonstrated experience and track record of performance with relevant experience, including from roles in commercial, procurement, operations, or legal.
• While a Bachelor's Degree in Law or Business may support you in executing the scope of the role, we are looking not just for a legal guru, but a candidate with strong project management abilities and commercial mindset and broad business perspective.
• Strong project management skills with the proven ability to manage multiple work demands simultaneously, manage stakeholder engagement, and meet tight deadlines.
• Demonstrated ability to work in cross-functional teams, communicate effectively and in a timely manner.
• High attention to detail, and clear communication skills - including strong written English capabilities.
• Continuous improvement mindset and a curiosity to seek and adopt leading practices and ideas.
At Ofload we prioritise impact, aptitude and passion, so we’d encourage you to apply if you do not meet all the above criteria.

• Working in a hybrid environment with a split of in-office and working from home. Our philosophy on working is one built around connection, inclusion and flexibility.
• Holistic wellness support for you and your family through our well-being partnership with Acacia Connection
