Location: Johannesburg South, Gauteng
Salary: R12,000 per month plus performance incentive
Employment Type: Permanent

If you thrive in a fast-moving logistics and delivery environment where no two days look the same, this could be the role that launches your career into a genuine leadership track. A courier and food delivery franchise operation is on the hunt for a sharp, hands-on Hub Operations Supervisor ready to step into a pivotal role with real growth potential.

This is not a desk-warming position. The successful candidate will work directly alongside the franchisee, learning the inner workings of a dual-service delivery hub that handles both parcel logistics and restaurant food deliveries. Think of it as being groomed into a second-in-command, where your performance shapes the operation and opens the door to increased responsibility and a higher salary.
