**About the team**:
Our Technology team is the backbone of the business, building and maintaining the information technology infrastructure that support Coles Group. As a part of the Technology team, you get the opportunity to work through complex, challenging, meaningful problems using large data sets and new technologies to expand your skills and experience.
Are you ready to take your career to the next level?
At Coles, we’re on an ambitious technology transformation journey — and we’re looking for a dynamic Portfolio Manager to lead the charge in the Integration space.
**About the role**:
In this exciting role, you will oversee the performance, delivery, and people leadership of a portfolio spanning Integration-as-a-Service and Enterprise Technology initiatives. You’ll be accountable for ensuring delivery excellence across critical integration projects, meeting strategic goals, and supporting high-performing engineering teams.
You’ll thrive at the intersection of technology and business, leading a passionate team of professionals delivering the platforms, APIs, events, and connectivity solutions that power Coles Group’s future.
This is a pivotal opportunity for someone who wants to have a major impact on a fast-moving, nationally critical environment, while developing their leadership and technical portfolio at enterprise scale.
**Key Responsibilities Include**:
- Lead a team of integration professionals (Project managers, engineers, analysts, tech leads) to deliver high-impact technology projects and platforms.
- Articulate and communicate the Integration and Engineering vision, strategy, and roadmaps to a wide range of stakeholders.
- Drive innovation through proof of concepts, promoting early adoption of new integration patterns, frameworks, and technologies.
- Partner closely with platform, engineering, and business teams to translate technical capabilities into business value, ensuring robust and scalable integration solutions.
- Engage extensively with customers, partners, and internal business units to gather insights, advocate for platform adoption, and continuously improve service offerings.
- Establish trust and credibility with key stakeholders through proactive communication, governance, and results-driven delivery.
- Own the delivery governance of the portfolio — managing timelines, budgets, risk, and scope, while ensuring quality outcomes.
- Demonstrate strong leadership qualities that reflect Coles’ team vision and values, fostering a culture of collaboration, empowerment, and accountability.
- Champion integration best practices, standards, and continuous improvement across teams and projects.
- Partner with Integration Architects and manage intake pipeline to drive prioritised, strategic delivery of integration initiatives across the enterprise.
- Ensure stakeholder visibility of integration platform status, health, roadmaps, and business impact through clear reporting and advocacy.
**About You and Your Skills**:
- Minimum 10 years of senior IT experience, with significant time spent in integration, middleware, or platform delivery environments.
- Proven track record of leading integration or platform-focused teams in hybrid cloud, microservices, and event-driven architectures.
- Strong technical knowledge of integration patterns, APIs, eventing, message queues (e.g., Kafka), and cloud-based architectures.
- Demonstrated experience in managing technical dependencies, platform risks, and operational resilience considerations.
- Deep understanding of operating models, delivery frameworks, and enterprise technology environments, including agile, waterfall and hybrid models.
- Strong capability in strategic planning, resource management, and continuous improvement for technology delivery.
- Advanced ability to design, implement, and measure objectives and outcomes for integration and technology projects.
- Exceptional stakeholder management skills — influencing at all levels across technical and business domains.
- Experience engaging with external vendors, development partners, and enterprise stakeholders to drive integration outcomes.
- Solid understanding of engineering principles, products, and services in hybrid cloud and on-premises environments, ideally with a technical background in integration platforms.
- Passionate about building and leading high-performing teams in a fast-paced and strategically critical area of the business.
