A Day in the Life
On the Job at Peak Moto
- Rock up on your motorbike, or car if you drive on rainy days - there's a reserved parking spot right out the front, and motorcycle parking across the road
- Turn the lights on, put out the A-Frame sign and the flags. Turn the neon signs on, then put your favourite music on the sound system.
- Have a quick 5-10 minute catchup with the Melbourne team and your manager to start the day, so that we're all across the recent orders
- Go through the lineup of premium motorycle gear and tidy up the showroom
- When customers walk in, greet them - they're happy to be there, and we usually get the most incredible customers. They're often in the local motorcycle community.
- Enjoy some friendly bike chat while getting customers gear in their size - they're thrilled that we cater for them.
- Once they're ready to checkout, bring them to the til and operate the Point of Sale - they usually pay with card, but occasionally cash. You'd pack their gear up in a nice tote bag and wave them goodbye.
- When times get slow, a quick vacuum and dusting of the mirrors. You'd stocktake a few product lines every week to make sure the inventory is correct.
- If you spot some gear you might like, try it on! Everyone is encouraged to try on our whole range of gear. Why not? You're surrounded by motorcycle gear!
- Take your break whenever you want. We're all adults and we can self-regulate when we want to eat. Heat up your food or take a walk around the neighbourhood to sample one of the many cafes and restaurants in the area.
- At the end of your shift, bring the A-frame and flags back indoors, gear up, and ride home!

This means we'd also expect the same from you toward us and our customers - we're looking for good humans to join our team.
We foster a culture where we prioritise what truly matters, emphasising efficiency and focusing on significant goals rather than getting bogged down by minor details.
That's why we encourage honesty and transparency. It's ok to make mistakes, there's always a path forward.
We also know that sometimes things are out of control, and it's not worth losing sleep over. The world will continue turning.

Job Perks
We'll support your personal and professional growth, aligning with your interests and life goals.
Whether you're creative, analytical, introverted, or love chatting with people, we'll customise the role to ensure your comfort and happiness here.
You'd fit in really well if you love a challenge, you live life with intent, and you encourage the people around you to grow too.
We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs.
Whether you have a holiday, a private matter, or just want to hit the road for a ride, let us know in advance and we'll work with you to ensure everything is sorted.
Courtesy is a two-way street, and we're here to help each other out where we can. So if one of our team members has to take a break, we'd love for you to step in if you can.
You'll access discounts on every product we have access to, even if we don't actively carry it in the shop.
This means in addition to clothing, helmet, and accessories, we could also bring in tyres, bike parts, workshop tools, and any other bits you need for you and your bike.
Afterall, we are a motorcycle gear shop, and you should be safely protected every time you ride!
MELBOURNE
Our shop is conveniently located just a block away from the bustling South Melbourne Market, with ample motorcycle parking right out front.
Situated for easy access from all directions of Melbourne and minutes away from major highways, commuting to and from work is effortless.
There is a Woolies and Coles within a 5-minute walk, and we are only a block away from the bustling Clarendon St, which is full of multiple lunch options to choose from.
Traffic can really build up in this area however, especially on market days. Be sure you leave ample time for yourself so that you can ride to the shop safely.
BRISBANE
We are located in the beautiful suburb of West End, which is easily accessible by bus, train, and ferry.
We own the car park directly in front of our shop. There are also 5 motorcycle parking bays across the street.
There are multiple food options at your doorstep, including nice cafes and several takeaway places for lunch. There is an Aldi and a Woolies within a 5-minute walk if you need to grab your groceries after work too!
