Form of workAbout Us
Circonomy exists to create a world without waste, including human potential. We’re making circularity the new normal, by mobilising dormant goods through collection, refurbishment, repair and repurposing services while making it easy to shop and procure affordable, sustainable, quality products through our outlets and online channels.
We love what we do, and care a lot – for each other, our customers and our planet. We’re ambitious, and (a little) impatient, motivated by the possibilities but staying grounded in the progress we’re making. We work at pace, because we have no time to waste! (But we don’t cut corners along the way). We are unapologetically agents of change - we’re tackling complex issues that need new solutions – creating, innovating, iterating and enabling.
About the role
We’re looking for an entrepreneurial leader that can play a key role in supporting the growth of our circular solutions in Melbourne, by providing practical, on the ground support that contributes to our purpose of creating a world without waste. As a key member of our Response Squad, the role will require travel to various customer locations, including retail stores, warehouses and offices, where services such as repair, refurbishment and collection will be provided.
The primary purpose of this role is to support our Victorian Refurbishment and Response Squad Manager, by coordinating and implementing the day-to-day operations across Melbourne. Our customers have a diverse range of needs, that are underpinned by the core principals of the circular economy, with a focus on designing out waste and keeping products and materials in use for longer.

In addition, helping customers that are looking to purchase affordable, quality and sustainable products by supporting the re-commerce operations out of the Melbourne warehouse.
This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of Australia’s circular economy, by providing hands-on solutions that deliver commercial and environmental benefits to Circonomy’s partners. At the same time, contributing to the growth of one of Australia’s most unique and innovative social enterprises.

You love working with people, and have experience working in retail, bringing transferable customer service skills and product knowledge.
