Enterprise Transformation Lead

Ko wai mātou – About us  

Kia ora.  We’re Foodies.  You know New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square right? That’s us!

With 300+ stores and over 27,000 Foodies across Te Ika-a-Maui, our North Island Co-op has the privilege of helping New Zealanders get more out of life.  Locally owned, we reflect the communities we serve, and we celebrate our people - our taonga, every day for being uniquely them. 

Part of our Finance function, Enterprise Transformation shapes and leads our Co-op's biggest changes, from the first idea and business case through to delivery and results. We partner with leaders across the business to invest in the right things and make sure they’re adopted well in stores and support teams.

Te Tūranga – About the role

As our Enterprise Transformation Lead, you'll lead important programmes from early shaping through to delivery and the results that follow. You'll help make sure we invest in the right change, turn strategy into plans we can deliver, and keep our work moving with clear evidence of value, readiness and pace.

You'll own a portfolio of transformation work, initially supporting priorities across our Customer and Technology groups, with the flexibility to work across other areas of the Co-op as our transformation priorities evolve. You'll set the governance, roadmap and cadence that keep priorities clear, then drive that work into individual initiatives and projects and see them through to delivery.

That could mean shaping transformation that improves how we serve our customers, or leading technology and productivity initiatives that help our people work better.

Reporting to the Senior Enterprise Transformation Lead, you'll be a trusted partner to sponsors and executives, working alongside colleagues in technology, product, finance and change.

In this role, you will:

• Own and lead a portfolio of transformation work across Customer, Technology and other enterprise priorities
• Set the governance, roadmap and cadence that keep everyone aligned
• Drive priorities into individual initiatives and projects, and follow them through to delivery
• Keep priorities, risks, timing and dependencies in view across the portfolio
• Develop business cases covering the problem, options, benefits, costs and delivery approach
• Run short, focused trials to test ideas and their value before we commit to full investment
• Prepare clear decision material and honest advice for executives and sponsors
• Find simpler, faster ways of working, including smart use of AI tools
