Samsara Recycling

Samsara Recycling

New South Wales, Australia · Australia
Posted on Jul 2, 2025
"Be the catalyst that drives real change for our planet."

Samsara Eco has one clear mission: to repair our planet through infinite plastic recycling. Yes, it’s a mighty mission but it’s something every single one of us here at Samsara Eco is determined to achieve. And it’s what motivates us to dedicate our time and energy to every single day.

Our technology is like our team. One of a kind. And we know that, so while we are creating technology to repair our planet, we’re also building a great place to grow careers. A place where everyone can do the best work of their life, making meaningful impact on our planet and ourselves.

Who we are...

We’re a climate tech innovator repairing our planet through infinite recycling. We’re taking the 10 billion tonnes of plastics and textiles wasting away in landfill and our environment, and recycling it, infinitely to create a truly circular loop for packaging, clothing, airbags and everything in between.

It means brands can make the products we all know and love without the environmental damage. Because by using what we already have, we can end the world’s reliance on dirty fossil fuels to slow climate change and ensure we have a liveable planet for future generations.

The Role...

We’re looking for a talented and proactive Shared Services Lead to join our team at Samsara Eco; someone who takes genuine pride in owning the day-to-day experience of our Jerrabomberra site.

In this role, you'll help ensure our brand-new, state-of-the-art facility runs seamlessly, supporting a functional, well-resourced, and welcoming environment that enables high-performance science, technology, and cross-functional collaboration.

From onboarding and consumables to courier logistics and shared space coordination, you’ll be the vital link that keeps operations running smoothly. While infrastructure sits with the Head of Technology Operations and scientific work is led by lab teams, your role ensures that shared services, supplies, and support are delivered with care, precision, and purpose.

Your Responsibilities will include….

Shared Services & Operational Support

  • Coordinate shared services across office and lab areas, ensuring environments are functional, tidy, and stocked.
  • Act as the go-to person for onsite day-to-day support, shared resource needs, or local troubleshooting.
  • Liaise with the Head of Technology Operations (e.g., facilities and logistics) and Lab Leads (e.g., lab consumables and support) to align on services, supplies, and priorities.
  • Coordinate service providers for cleaning, waste management, office upkeep, and onsite deliveries.
  • Support general freight, courier bookings, and local delivery logistics across teams.
  • Liaise with the WHS Manager to ensure the site remains compliant with all safety protocols, regulations, and audit requirements.
  • Maintain orderly, efficient shared spaces that reflect Samsara’s collaborative working culture.

Lab Consumables & Logistics

  • Manage the ordering and coordination of lab consumables, PPE, and day-to-day lab operational supplies.
  • Maintain stock levels and track inventory to ensure timely replenishment.
  • Support inbound and outbound sample logistics, including packing and local shipping coordination.
  • Liaise with lab teams to ensure operational needs are met without overlapping into technical or safety responsibilities.

Office & Administrative Coordination

  • Oversee administration tasks including shared calendar coordination, booking systems, documentation, and internal communications.
  • Manage office, kitchen, and uniform supplies to ensure availability and alignment with team needs.
  • Assist with purchase order processing, invoice tracking, and basic finance workflows.
  • Support light IT logistics (e.g., device peripherals, workstation readiness) in coordination with the IT Systems Lead.
  • Work collaboratively with the Office Manager in Sydney to ensure alignment across all Samsara locations.
  • Coordinate onsite logistics for deliveries, guests, and team events.

Onboarding & Culture Support

  • Prepare new starter workspaces, site access, welcome kits, and coordinate local onboarding logistics.
  • Organise or assist with team activities, celebrations, and volunteer days to strengthen onsite connection.
  • Contribute to a friendly, inclusive, and smooth day-to-day experience across the Jerrabomberra location.
  • Serve as a reliable point of contact for operational needs that sit between functions.

What we are looking for….

  • Certificate or Diploma in Business, Office Management, or related field (e.g. Cert IV in Business, Diploma of Leadership & Management)
  • WHS certification is a plus, but not essential
  • 5+ years’ experience in site operations, coordination, or shared services, with a track record of being the go-to person who keeps people, spaces, and processes connected
  • Exceptionally organised with strong prioritisation, follow-through, and attention to detail
  • Own the office and lab spaces with pride—ensuring they’re stocked, tidy, and welcoming
  • Confident communicator who works well across teams and functions
  • Comfortable using ordering systems, spreadsheets, calendars, and basic finance tools
  • Practical, proactive, and solutions-focused—you spot what needs doing and just get it done
  • Professional, discreet, adaptable, and grounded in service
  • Aligned with our mission and values, with a genuine desire to contribute to a purpose-driven team
