We are looking for a strategic sourcing or procurement professional with a strong blend of commercial acumen, cross functional collaboration skills and value-drive thinking. Individuals with prior experience in category management or within a senior developer role that can demonstrate a sound understanding of manufacturing processes would also be advantageous. Strong project management, planning, problem solving, and time management skills are essential.

  • Proven experience within the retail or FMCG industry
  • Experience in complex commercial negotiations across multiple categories, jurisdictions and stakeholder groups
  • Strong people skills and proven ability to engage with internal and external stakeholders
  • Critical thinking with the ability to operate in a dynamic, customer-driven retail environment

What's in it for you?
  • Flexible working options with hybrid working arrangements
  • Office perks including gym facility, free parking, and on-site amenities
  • Discounts: 5% discount on supermarket and liquor online and in-store purchases; occasional double discounts and exclusive deals
  • Recognition through Coles values on the digital platform 'mythanks' with points redeemable for gifts
  • Learning and development opportunities and training programs
  • Paid parental leave for permanent team members
  • Investment in your future through the Coles Group employee share plan
