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 120,000 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 

As the way we shop continues to evolve, our Technology team keeps us at the cutting edge. Driven by our innovative, inclusive, and forward-thinking culture, we’re constantly looking at ways to reinvent the shopping experience for our customers and build the next generation of digital retailing.  

About the role 

We have an exciting opportunity for a Portfolio Strategy and Planning Manager to join the Technology Delivery function in a full-time and permanent capacity. This role will report into the Head of Technology Delivery.

The focus of this role is to provide value through aligning technology initiatives with overall business objectives, guide effective resource allocation, and ensuring technology-related decisions are not made in isolation, balancing risk, value, and cost.

Your key responsibilities will include: 

As the Portfolio Strategy and Planning Manager your role will be to:

  • Contribute to the Technology Strategy development, responsible for the alignment of projects to the Tech strategy, providing strategic direction and guidance to maximise the value of Coles’ Technology assets.

  • Oversee, develop, and provide recommendations for the Technology Corporate Plan, including, identification and prioritisation of technology investment to deliver strategically aligned outcomes.

  • Enable an enterprise approach to quarterly portfolio planning to ensure that group-wide technology investments and capacity are aligned with strategic priorities.

  • Create an executable roadmap identifying key outcomes against the strategy, with a clear understanding of how one initiative impacts another (dependencies), and how this impacts sequencing.

  • Establish a supply and demand framework to support resource management with technology-related projects.

  • Baseline and measure progress against the key pillars of our technology strategy and effectively communicating across the enterprise.

About you and your skills 

  • Proven 5+ years’ experience in project / program management or portfolio management roles.

  • Worked in an organisation undertaking large scale technology transformation (3-5 years).  

  • Strong understanding of business transformation, digital, technology and change delivery.

  • Proven ability in enterprise prioritisation mechanisms and building strategic roadmaps.

  • Proven track record in enterprise governance mechanisms.

  • PMP, Prince2, or equivalent project management certification. 

  • Strong understanding of agile and waterfall methodologies, with the ability to tailor approaches to fit project needs.

  • Knowledge of project management tools and software.

  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and influencing skills, with the ability to effectively engage with stakeholders at all levels.

  • Excellent understanding on the generation of Portfolio Scorecards that link to the Technology Strategy Plan.  

Take your next step into something bigger, apply now

With us it’s not about the discounts (although you do get those), it’s about joining a team where your wellbeing and professional development is our investment and celebrating your contributions is the norm. And because everyone leads unique lives, we offer flexible work, additional leave and parental leave entitlements.

We’re continuing to build a gender equitable team, and a culture that is just as diverse, inclusive and welcoming as the communities we serve. We are committed to creating a workplace that is safe and respectful for our team. We encourage applications from people of all ages, cultures (including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples), abilities, sexual orientation and gender identities.
