Branch Manager

Branch Manager - Sydney

Operational Leadership Opportunity | Transport, Logistics, Relocations Operations

Let’s be direct.

If you’re successfully leading a large operational business right now - and you know you could achieve more with the right backing, systems, and support - this opportunity is for you.

Sydney is one of the most demanding operational markets in Australia.

It takes strong commercial discipline, operational leadership, and people management capability to succeed here.

Kent is hiring a Branch Manager to lead our high-performing Sydney operation and drive its next phase of growth.

We are looking for someone ready to build, optimise, lead teams, and outperform.

The Role

Reporting to the onsite Regional General Manager, you will take full operational and commercial responsibility for the Sydney Branch.

You will lead through:

• Maintaining and growing the profit position of the region through effective management of sales performance and operational expenses
• Promoting and advocating the highest level of customer service across all areas of the business
• Direct leadership of an Operations Manager and Warehouse Manager
• Full P&L accountability
• Operational cost control and margin improvement
• Labour optimisation and fleet efficiency
• Warehouse performance and asset utilisation
• Ensuring Kent’s safety standards are upheld, with safety prioritised across all teams
• Strategic growth planning across NSW
• Regional travel across NSW/ACT when required

This is a visible leadership role with genuine influence across a nationally recognised business.

Who We Are Targeting

We are seeking experienced operational leaders who have:

• Successfully managed a branch, depot, operational site, or service-based business in a fast-paced environment
• Owned or significantly influenced P&L outcomes
• Led large operational teams across transport, warehouse, scheduling, logistics, or field operations
• Driven measurable improvements in margin, productivity, customer service, or operational efficiency
• Operated successfully in high-pressure, high-volume environments

Experience within removals, relocations, transport, logistics, warehousing, supply chain, or service operations will be highly regarded.

If you come from outside the removals industry, you’ll bring strong operational leadership capability, commercial acumen, and the ability to lead teams through complexity and change.

Most importantly, you know how to build high-performing teams and deliver exceptional customer outcomes.

Why Consider Moving?

Because backing matters.

At Kent, you’ll have:

• Strong executive support onsite
• Investment in digital systems
• Established sales pipelines
• A respected national brand
• Internal career pathways (1 in 3 roles promoted internally)
• A business that is actively growing - not standing still

We’re an 80-year Australian success story with national scale - yet agile enough to move fast, embrace innovation, and drive meaningful change.

This is a genuine career move, not just a job change.

What You Will Bring

• Commercial sharpness and confidence with numbers
• Operational credibility with frontline teams
• A track record of lifting performance
• A leadership style that balances accountability and development
• A mindset focused on efficiency, growth, customer outcomes, and continuous improvement

If you’re ambitious, capable, and ready for a bigger platform - this is your move.

What’s On Offer

• Relocation package available to Sydney
• Competitive salary plus super and bonus scheme
• Kent CARE Program dedicated to staff wellbeing and mental health
• Numerous employee reward platforms
• Salary packaging and salary sacrificing
• Early wage access
• Corporate discounts for utilities and health insurance

That’s exactly why this role matters.

Whether you come from removals, logistics, transport, warehousing, supply chain, or another operational leadership environment - if you’re ready to lead a complex operation with the backing of a national, forward-thinking organisation, we want to talk.
