Job Description

We're building a Transformation and Delivery function that will help shape the future of The Warehouse Group, and we're looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager to be part of that journey.

This is a rare opportunity to take on a career-defining role where you'll not only lead the delivery of strategic initiatives but also help lift delivery capability across the organisation and play a key role in shaping and growing the function as it evolves.

At The Warehouse Group, we proudly stand behind some of Aotearoa's most iconic retail brands, including The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, and Noel Leeming.

Working closely with business and technology leaders, you'll provide the structure, leadership, and momentum needed to turn strategy into results.

  • Preparing and maintaining project governance materials, status reports, decision papers and escalation packs where required
  • Partnering with Business Owners, sponsors and senior stakeholders to align delivery outcomes

Working closely with teams across Technology and the business, you'll drive consistent delivery excellence and ensure projects achieve their intended outcomes and benefits.

Qualifications

You're a seasoned project leader with a track record of delivering complex change in large-scale environments. You combine strong delivery discipline with exceptional stakeholder management skills and know how to bring people together to achieve outcomes.

About The Warehouse Group

The Warehouse Group (TWG) is a New Zealand success story, founded by Sir Stephen Tindall and evolved from a single The Warehouse store to become one of the largest retailing groups in New Zealand with $3 billion in sales. TWG consists of three core retail brands: The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, and Noel Leeming. We have over 180 retail stores, online stores as well as distribution centres throughout New Zealand. We also have two overseas sourcing offices located in China and India. We are a people-centred business with more than 10,000 team employees across our locations.

TWG is known for being Here for Good - it’s who we are and what keeps us focused to succeed. It represents our commitment to better living for all New Zealanders, through sustainable retail products and practices and the mission of contributing to the long-lasting health of our planet.

Over the years, we’ve raised over 50 million dollars for New Zealand communities and have contributed to countless community-focussed initiatives. We were the first company in New Zealand to add a Shielded Site link to the Women's Refuge website to help protect those experiencing family violence, and were a key supporter of the Government’s Family Violence Victims’ Protection Bill. We were New Zealand’s first large company and the third major retailer in the world to go carbon neutral.

While we are 40+ years old as a business, in many ways we feel we’re just getting started.
