Partner Success Manager

Ocado has signed partnership agreements with leading retail companies around the world for us to implement our eCommerce operating platform. One of those companies is Coles in Australia. With a bright future ahead of us in Australia, our Partner Success team is looking to build our team further to help support Coles.

Ocado’s Partner Success team is the primary point of contact for our retail Partners to ensure they are fully conversant in the use of OSP (Ocado Smart Platform). They have in-depth knowledge of all their Partner’s support requirements and upcoming deployments as well as their operational performance. They champion the cause of their Partners to drive maximum performance and business value for the Partners and for Ocado.
