We’ve been proudly serving Australian communities since 1914 and have grown to become a top 30-listed company on the ASX with a portfolio of iconic homegrown brands. At the heart of our continued success is over 115,000 team members working across the country, all contributing to bringing our customers smiles. You’ll not only get to see your work make a difference, you’ll be part of a team working together to help Australians eat and live better every day.
Our Commercial team is a large, but a close-knit group of trading experts, who are ready to shape the future of Coles. We pride ourselves on the long-lasting supplier relationships we build, the new ideas we develop and how passionately we work to help Australian eat and live better every day. And the best part? We’re all so different. We bring diversity of thought, backgrounds, and experience to every Business Unit across Coles Supermarkets and Liquor.
We’re looking for a highly capable Senior Transformation & Delivery Manager to lead complex, business-led initiatives that drive continuous improvement across our Commercial function.
This role sits at the intersection of program delivery, business transformation, and process optimisation. You’ll play a key role in shaping and delivering initiatives that improve end-to-end ways of working, uplift capability, and deliver measurable outcomes across the retail value chain.
Importantly, this is not a purely technical project management role. Instead, it requires someone who can operate confidently within the business, navigate ambiguity, and bring stakeholders on the journey while landing meaningful change.
You will also:
You’re a well-rounded program and transformation professional who thrives in complex environments and knows how to land change within the business. You bring a strong balance of delivery rigour, commercial mindset, stakeholder influence, and communication excellence. You’re confident operating across both strategic and detailed levels, and you understand that success comes from bringing people with you, not just delivering a plan. You have proven capability in translating ambiguity into clear plans, messaging and outcomes, along with a strong balance of big-picture thinking and hands-on delivery execution. Your pragmatic, adaptable approach focused on outcomes rather than rigid methodology sets you up for success in this role.
You’ll also ideally have:
We’re continuing to build a gender equitable team, and a culture that is just as diverse, inclusive and welcoming as the communities we serve. We are committed to creating a workplace that is safe and respectful for our team. We encourage applications from people of all ages, cultures (including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples), abilities, sexual orientation and gender identities.
We’re happy to adjust our recruitment process to support candidates with disability. For further information and additional contact details visit the ‘Our Recruitment Process’ section of our careers site or email inclusionrecruitment@coles.com.au
