Job Description

In a company as invested in its future leaders as we are, there’s always support for you to learn, grow and move. A role in Operational Leadership means the chance to apply and build your skills in new ways, tackling work unique to a business with a footprint like ours. If you’re keen to take the next step in your career here, now’s the time!

About the Role

To help make life easier for our stores, the business has implemented an internal Stocktake model, whereby the non-perishable counts in Metro stores will be performed by a dedicated central team. The Stocktaking Services model delivers a more efficient and accurate stock count and relieves the pressure on stores to complete this task twice a year. As part of the broader initiative, we have created highly focussed and specialised teams to focus exclusively on the way we plan and execute stocktakes across the Supermarket and Liquor businesses.

Reporting to the Stocktaking Field Manager, you will be accountable for:

• Management of the stocktaking team (40 - 80 direct reports)

• Engagement with market and store leadership teams

• Store pre and post stocktake audits

• Team administrative functions for the market

• Ensure network planning is viable

• Day-to-day execution of stocktaking within the market for both Supermarkets and Liquor

The ideal candidate will demonstrate:

• Proven experience in accurate retail stocktakes

• Team Leadership experience including Safety, Training, Recruitment and Performance Management

• Excellent time management, planning and scheduling

• Exposure to business change or continuous improvement initiatives and accounting or analytical improvement initiatives

• Development of performance trackers criteria and monitor progress on key metrics

• Development of learning and business improvement programs

• The ability to influence and work collaboratively with stakeholders, to engage and inform customers and self-manage workload and priorities

• Experience in the development of change material

This role will also require frequent travel to various store locations within the Stocktake Market and the successful candidate will be eligible to apply for a Job Required Vehicle (JRV).

Please note - this role is a 12 month secondment.

What’s in it for you?

• More cash staying in your pocket: Eligible team members receive 5% discount all year round on your Supermarket and Liquor online and in-store purchases. We also offer additional periods of double discount (10%) at various times throughout the year. As well as hotdeals exclusive to team members that translate into additional savings.
• Reward through recognition: Give and receive recognition, linked to our Coles values, through our digital recognition platform ‘mythanks’. You can accumulate points to redeem in the online shop for exciting gifts and electronic gift cards from an extensive range of retailers.
• Opportunities for learning and development: No matter where you start within our diverse business, you’ll have experiences, exposure, and education to satisfy you. Discover and explore a variety of career development programs and job-specific training.
• Investment in your future: Become a part-owner of the Coles Group. Our annual team member share plan offer allows eligible team members to make regular pre-tax salary sacrifice deductions to purchase Coles Group shares.
• Paid parental leave: We understand how important your life outside work is and offer permanent team members paid parental leave to support you in balancing work and family.
