Coles Supermarkets Hiring for Relauncher: the retur Job at Hawthorn East Full Time

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.

Are you an experienced and passionate technology professional, who is now looking to return to your career after a period of parental leave, care giving, entrepreneurship or further study?

We’re looking for women like you to be part of The Relauncher Program – a bespoke program, powered by Coles Group, designed to support women in returning to technology or digital careers.

Welcome back – we’re here to support you

We understand it can be challenging to step back into a technology role after time away, so this program gives you the support, flexibility, and upskilling, where needed, to make this transition seamless, achievable, and enjoyable.

Relauncher is a 6-month program, starting in March 2023, where you will:

• Enjoy flexible hours (min. 3 days per week)
• Feel inspired and supported with mentorship, on-the-job training and coaching tailored to your specific role and experience
• Be a part of a close-knit cohort and get the support of a Buddy on a day-to-day basis
• Join a team that values and encourages good work-life balance
• Receive a competitive salary for the duration of the program
• Have a guaranteed position with Coles after successfully completing the program
• Work flexibly, with the opportunity to work from home and at our offices in Melbourne

Through this program, Coles would like to increase the level of female representation in leadership roles in our Technology and eCommerce teams, and over time, achieve substantive equality for women in these leadership roles at Coles.

About the team

With the fast-paced culture of retail and the evolving technology landscape, team members at Coles get to work with cutting-edge technologies, massive data sets and in agile ways to inspire the millions of Australians who shop with us every week.

With our digital transformation already underway across our store and customer-facing platforms and our technology transformation gathering pace, there’s never been a more exciting time to join a technology team that really values your health, wellbeing and happiness.

From day one, you’ll get exposure to interesting work and inspiring leaders, and you’ll be able to see the tangible impact your work has on the lives of millions of Australians across the country.

Put your skills to good use

We are looking for a Technology Communications Advisor to develop an integrated program of communications to team members that help them engage with the Technology strategy, transformation changes and key operations.

This role will sit in the Technology Management and Transformation portfolio, which is accountable for creating an environment that enables Coles Group’s strategic objectives and maximises value in technology portfolio planning, delivery and people capabilities.

About you

We’re looking for passionate mid to senior-tier professionals who have over 5 years of relevant experience and/or qualifications in technology, digital transformation and Information Technology systems – all of which will enable you to provide increased diversity of thought and value to the Coles team.

Coles will upskill you across all relevant technology, software and practise developments, so you have the confidence and opportunities to take an exciting next step in your career.

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