Description
Coles has introduced a career-defining retail leadership program to transform passionate retail leaders into our next generation of Store Managers.
Grow your career as a retail leader with a place in our Coles Store Manager Accelerator programAbout the program
The Store Manager Accelerator Program has been created for high potential candidates to have accelerated progression into a Store Manager role with Coles.
As part of a close-knit cohort, participants will experience hands-on practical learning through store placements, shadowing opportunities, self-paced and facilitator-led training, mentoring, and coaching.
Through this program, Coles would like to increase the level of female representation in leadership roles in our stores, and over time, achieve substantive equality for women in leadership roles at Coles.
Applications for a place within our next cohort are open now, with successful candidates expected to start the 6-month blended work and tailored development program in the coming months.
On successful completion of the program, you will be fully prepared for your appointment as a Store Manager leading one of our supermarkets.
In this highly autonomous role, you will have significant P&L accountability together with the chance to stretch your leadership capability as you manage upwards of 100+ employees.
You'll receive post-program support and the opportunity for further progression throughout the group to continue to fuel your passion for a career in retail.
Leaders of teams with commercial nous, a passion for developing others and the drive to make a real difference to their local community will be a great fit for this one-of-a-kind career opportunity.
Like us, you believe that caring about our team members helps them do a great job in caring for our customers and the community.
While experience working in a retail environment is preferred, success in the role will call on you to be highly perceptive, resourceful, and innovative, with the ability to delegate to team leaders to deliver key commercial outcomes.
Experience in full accountability for a P&L and for leading large, high-performing teams are both essential expectations of this role.
If you have the skill, ambition and personality to thrive as a future leader then we'd love to hear from you.
At Coles Group our purpose is to sustainably feed all Australians to help them live healthier, happier lives.
We're an essential part of communities right across the country, with our family of 120,000 team members helping 21 million customers every week.
With such a big responsibility, we rely on our brilliant leaders to operate with pace and passion and drive a people first culture, focussed on delighting our customers.
We have more than 2500 retail outlets nationally with more than 800 Coles Supermarkets. We have a culture that truly cares about your wellbeing, values what you do and celebrates your success.For everyone who shares our passion
