Hawthorn East, Australia Coles Full time

JOB DESCRIPTION

We’ve been trusted to serve Aussie communities since 1914 and grown to become a top 30-listed on the ASX with over 115,000 team members and a portfolio of iconic brands. At Coles Group, you’ll not only get to make a difference to millions of Aussie lives—you’ll also get to see your impact.

About the team

People and Culture are dedicated to fostering  an engaged and empowered workplace. One that’s strong, diverse and where our team members have exciting career pathways to choose from. We do it by making people’s lives easier through better experiences, useful tools, and by providing ongoing opportunities to learn and grow.

Coles is committed to learning, there is plenty of scope for growth in this award-winning capability team and there has never been a more exciting time to be part of it. We’re taking our Learning strategy to the next level. Helping move us from an organisation that offers many excellent and well-established, but at times unconnected learning offerings, to one that offers clear, consistent, and cohesive programs to all team members across all brands. This role is critical to shaping this strategy and helping Coles win in its second century.  

About the Role: 

Are you ready to take the reins and drive Coles into its next century of success? We're on the hunt for a dynamic and strategic Capability Manager to join our team. This isn't just any role – it's a pivotal position that will shape our learning strategy and ensure Coles has the capabilities it needs to dominate today and in the future. You'll be at the heart of our stores and sites, working closely with top executives in operations, and sitting within our Centre of Excellence. 

What you will doing: 

  • Lead the Charge: Define the 3 year Capability strategy for Supermarkets, Liquor & Distribution Centres to drive business outcomes. 
  • Strategic Planning: Collaborate with key stakeholders annually to outline the learning programs for the entire organisation. 
  • Stay Ahead of the Curve: Research and implement external thought leadership and best practices. 
  • Program Management: Oversee the execution of the Learning strategy and plan, managing stakeholders, prioritising tasks, and ensuring effective measurement and reporting. 
  • Effective at landing learning solutions at scale utilising dynamic resource pooling. 

About you: 

  • Seasoned Professional: Extensive experience in Learning, Organisational Design, or Leadership development roles. 
  • Project Manager: Proven track record of leading end-to-end learning design across multiple projects and methodologies. 
  • Influential Leader: Experience in complex, matrixed organisations with the ability to influence and align stakeholders. 
  • Strategic Visionary: Demonstrated ability to set and deliver on strategic goals. 
  • Retail Savvy: Ideally, experience in the Retail sector or large scale organisations with customer facing team members. 
  • Matrix Master: Experience in a matrix structure within a large-scale organisation and working with dynamic resourcing models. 
  • Educational Excellence: Tertiary Qualifications in Business, Human Resources, Adult Education, Psychology or equivalent workplace experience and demonstrated development. 

Why Coles? At Coles, we're committed to fostering a culture of continuous learning and development. Join us and be part of a team that's dedicated to shaping the future of our organisation and ensuring we have the capabilities needed to succeed.
