About Kua

Kua is a fast-growing social enterprise that does Climate Positive Coffee for workplaces and homes across Australia. Relative to a normal coffee company, we do four things a little differently:

• Coffee is ethically sourced from smallholder growers, at Fairtrade prices or above.
• Profits are used to build climate resilience in communities where the coffee is grown.
• Waste is minimised via circular or compostable packaging and capture of spent coffee grounds.
• Carbon emissions are measured, reduced and offset every year, at 200%.

The Role

For 2-3 days per week, the Operations Assistant will help to keep Kua’s customers inspired and caffeinated. You’ll be responsible for:

• Driving a van to deliver coffee and collect spent coffee grounds from workplaces across Sydney.
• Fulfilling and packing orders for our workplace and at home drinkers.
• Assisting the Head of Operations with general warehouse tasks, including (but not limited to) cleaning reusable packaging and tracking and reporting coffee, waste and equipment movements.
• Soliciting and sharing customer feedback with the Kua team.
• Championing sustainability, social impact and quality coffee.

Essential Requirements

• Valid Driver’s Licence, with good driving record.

• Inspires trust across all relationships by reflecting Kua’s core values in decisions and actions
• Actively listens to verbal (and non-verbal) cues from workplace partners to encourage open feedback

Accountability:

• Owns the role by delivering on intended outcomes and being transparent with mistakes
• Dives into ‘startup life’ by embracing self-management and facing the unexpected with positivity

Detail-Oriented:

• You’re a fan of a neatly organised kitchen cutlery draw (you’re detail-oriented)
• Gets work done by pulling together a clear sequence of steps and yelling when extra resources are needed
• Stamps out problems before they become scary, by keeping tabs on workplace, warehouse and tracking systems with the future in mind
