Sydney, Australia Woolworths Full time

About Woolworths Group

Woolworths Group is a food and everyday needs retailer united by the shared purpose of creating better experiences together for a better tomorrow. With more than 1,400 stores across its Woolworths Supermarkets, Countdown Supermarkets (New Zealand) and BIG W brands, and fast-growing eCommerce businesses, Woolworths Group is Australia and New Zealand’s largest retailer. A top 10 company on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), Woolworths Group employs more than 180,000 team members and serves more than 20 million customers a week.

 

The Opportunity

  • Join the founding team of a new, profit-for purpose startup solving food waste
  • Currently in closed beta, launching in late 2023
  • Backed by major investors, including W23, Woolworths Group’s venture capital fund

About us 
⅓ of all food produced in Australia is wasted, costing the economy billions, wasting land and water resources, and contributing excess greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, on any given day, hundreds of thousands of Australian households are facing food insecurity and are struggling to put food on the table. 

This problem is complex and driven by a variety of factors, such as on-farm damage, supply and demand mismatch, and unmet cosmetic standards.
We are a new, profit-for-purpose startup on a mission to solve the food waste problem. 

We’re creating a digital platform that will unite the ecosystem and reduce food waste by:

  • Providing food producers and buyers a simple and trustworthy way to buy, sell, move and donate excess produce
  • Automating logistics of produce from sellers to buyers, regardless of location within the country
  • Identifying additional innovation opportunities through data & insights

We are currently operating in private beta and will launch publicly in late 2023. We’re backed by a number of major investors, including W23, Woolworths Group’s venture capital fund.

We’re currently looking to hire exceptional individuals to expand the founding team and join us on our journey to challenge the status quo in food waste and create a more sustainable future.

This is a rare opportunity to work for an early stage, profit-for-purpose startup, backed by major investors.

  • Make a positive impact on the world – Be a part of a purpose led organisation focused on creating positive change to the food industry, those facing food insecurity, as well as our planet
  • Fast-paced and challenging startup environment – Work on tricky problems and get in the trenches to make it all happen
  • Your role is mission critical – As an early stage hire in a new team, the impact you create will directly translate to the success of the startup
  • Be rewarded fairly – Enjoy a competitive salary and a range of benefits designed to allow you to be your best

 
About the role
The Design Lead role will be responsible for owning and executing on the end-to-end product design. This will be a hands-on role where you will be responsible for creating a thoughtfully designed and strategic product with a high quality and engaging user experience. 

You will be a custodian of the brand and create best practices, frameworks, and standards for design in the business.

 
 In this role you will…

  • Set the vision for product design
  • Define strategy and objectives for the user experience
  • Perform ethnographic research and use this to inform user experience design
  • Execute on the end-to-end product design
  • Work closely with Engineering and Product to ensure high quality implementation and to refine the roadmap
  • Create, lead, and manage a consistent and comprehensive brand and design system

 
About you 
You should have…

  • Strong experience in product design
  • An exceptional portfolio, demonstrating completion of multiple projects with emphasis on design process and outcomes
  • Confidence in defining the design process and leading other designers through it
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Proficiency in working with designing tools: e.g. Figma, Adobe Suite
  • Very high standard of attention to detail

Grow with the Group
 

As an inclusive, team-first company, our people are at the core of everything we do. 
 

We care deeply about creating a workplace where our team members feel valued, respected and empowered. We are committed to providing equal opportunity regardless of gender identity, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or life stage. We are proud to be recognised as a Gold Tier Employer in the Australian Workplace Equality Index for LGBTQ+ inclusion and as an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency. 

As our Group continues to evolve, innovate and support our communities, we encourage our team members to do the same with their own careers, by providing ongoing opportunities to grow and make a real difference. 
 

We value flexibility, and encourage our team members to work in ways that meet their work/life commitments and support their wellbeing.
 

We work hard to create a safe and inclusive environment for all, and most importantly, we're all about creating better experiences – for our customers and for each other.
