Description
Welcome to the world of The Courier Guy — where parcels move fast, customers come first, and our Out-of-Home (OOH) network is growing at lightning speed.
We’re looking for a Locations GIS Manager — someone who doesn’t just read maps, but understands them; someone who can turn data into direction, patterns into plans, and insights into impact.

You’ll also guide and mentor a GIS Coordinator, work closely with leadership, and ensure our GIS systems run like a well-oiled machine.
What You’ll Be Doing
Analysing large and complex datasets to generate actionable insights.
Conducting spatial analysis to support site identification, network expansion, and optimisation initiatives.
Building reports, dashboards, maps, and visualisations using ArcGIS tools.
Supporting data quality, accuracy, control processes, and metadata management.
Documenting methods, workflows, and technical processes for repeatable success.
Managing and developing a Locations GIS Coordinator.
Driving GIS-related initiatives that support business objectives and long-term strategy.
Collaborating with cross-functional teams to solve problems and identify opportunities using spatial data.
