  • Manage project plans and interdependencies across multiple workstreams.
  • Collaborate with functional specialists to provide tailored support during deployments.
  • Build strong relationships with stakeholders, including store owners and external vendors.
  • Identify risks and issues, develop mitigation strategies, and maintain effective communication throughout the project lifecycle.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for an Intermediate to Senior-level Project Manager with at least 5+ years of experience who thrives in dynamic environments. The ideal candidate will have:

  • Strong stakeholder management skills to build trust with diverse groups of people.
  • Experience working in retail environments; knowledge of SAP systems or POS systems is highly desirable.
  • Exceptional planning and organizational skills to manage complex projects with multiple streams.
  • Adaptability and calmness under pressure when navigating challenges or resistance to change.
  • A people-oriented mindset with excellent communication skills.

Role Details

  • Location: Albany offices. Nationwide travel required; flexible onsite/home arrangements during deployment periods (4 days onsite/1 day remote).

Why Join Us?

This is your opportunity to be part of a transformative programme that is reshaping how retail operates across New Zealand. You’ll collaborate with talented professionals, gain exposure to cutting-edge technology solutions, and make a meaningful impact on business operations nationwide.
