Richgro is seeking an experienced and hands-on Customer Service Manager to lead our Customer Service function and play an important role in supporting our customers, Sales team and broader business.
This is not simply a call centre management role. It is a varied position requiring someone who can lead people, manage priorities, improve processes and remain actively involved in the day-to-day operation of the department.
Reporting to Executive Management, you will lead a small Customer Service team while working closely with our Sales, Warehouse, Purchasing, Supply Chain, Accounts and Marketing teams.
About the role The Customer Service Manager is responsible for ensuring the Customer Service department operates efficiently, professionally and with a strong customer focus.
You will be expected to provide clear leadership to the team while remaining comfortable getting involved yourself when required. The role covers customer service, sales administration, complaints management, pricing and credit processes, rostering, systems and general administration.
Key responsibilities will include
- Leading, supporting and developing the Customer Service team, including coordinating workloads, coaching team members and maintaining effective department coverage.
- Ensuring customer enquiries by telephone and email are handled promptly, accurately and professionally.
- Managing customer complaints through the CRM and ensuring issues are followed through to resolution.

- Supporting end-of-month activities, consignment stock processes and related administration.
- Maintaining Customer Service procedures and identifying opportunities to improve systems and processes.
- Providing broader office, administration, Sales and Marketing support where required.
The breadth of these responsibilities reflects the existing position description, including sales support, customer complaints, pricing administration, CRM management, rostering and cross-functional support.
About you
We are looking for someone who is organised, commercially aware and comfortable taking ownership.
You will need to be a capable people leader, but equally important is your ability to work through problems, prioritise competing demands and maintain high standards of accuracy.
You will ideally bring previous experience leading a small Customer Service, Sales Administration or similar team, together with solid experience handling customer enquiries and complaints.
Experience with Pronto would be highly regarded, along with experience using HubSpot CRM or a similar CRM platform. You should also have a sound working knowledge of Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint and be comfortable working across databases and business systems.
Just as importantly, you will be someone who communicates professionally, remains composed when problems arise and sets a strong example for the team.
The person we are looking for
We believe this position would particularly suit someone who has progressed through Customer Service or Sales Administration and is ready to take greater ownership of a department.
You may already be a Customer Service Manager, Team Leader, Customer Service Supervisor, Sales Administration Manager or Senior Customer Service Coordinator.
What matters most is that you can combine people leadership with strong operational discipline.
We need someone who notices when something is not working, takes responsibility for resolving it and helps the team continuously improve.
Working with Richgro
Richgro is a 110 year old WA Family business manufacturing garden products.
Our business is built around three core pillars: Culture, Quality and Innovation. We value a committed and supportive team environment, maintain a robust focus on quality throughout the business and believe in continually improving both our products and the way we operate.
For the right person, this is an opportunity to take ownership of an important business function and work closely with senior management and departments across the organisation.
Important availability requirements
Because Richgro supports customers and team members across Australia, this role requires some flexibility in working hours.
The Customer Service function operates across a broader 7:00am–5:00pm coverage window, with individual rostered hours determined according to team requirements. There may also be a requirement to work certain Western Australian public holidays to support eastern states operations, with this time compensated through time off in lieu.
Our busiest period is generally August through December, so availability during this peak season is an important requirement of the role. Leave during this period is restricted and considered subject to management approval.
Interested?
If you are an experienced Customer Service professional who enjoys leading people, improving processes and taking ownership of customer outcomes, we would like to hear from you.
Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter outlining your relevant Customer Service leadership experience.
