  • Support new site openings, acquisitions, transitions and other growth initiatives.
  • Partner with internal teams to implement initiatives that improve business and network performance.
  • Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and help turn ideas into action.
  • Manage your own portfolio and priorities with genuine autonomy, while working within broader organisational strategy.

  • A practical, hands-on approach to problem solving.
  • The ability to build strong relationships and credibility with a range of stakeholders.
  • Initiative, energy and the desire to take on greater responsibility.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to work autonomously.
  • A genuine interest in developing your career beyond traditional multi-site retail management.
  • A current full Australian driver's licence and willingness to travel regularly between sites.

The Opportunity

  • Responsibility for a portfolio of established businesses.
  • Direct exposure to business owners and senior stakeholders.
  • Broader commercial and financial experience.
  • The opportunity to influence sales, profitability and operational performance.
  • Exposure to growth, change and strategic initiatives.
  • Genuine autonomy and flexibility across your portfolio.
  • A combination of field-based work, office time and working from home.
