Category Manager - Coles Liquor

Overview of Coles

For almost 100 years, Coles has been a highly regarded and much loved part of Australian life. And while we're immensely proud of our history, we're also very excited about the future. We are the fastest growing retailer in the world, and have recently been awarded the 2013 Retail Transformation and Reinvention Award at the World Retail Congress.

We are one of Australia's leading retail organisations, operating over 2,200 stores across our Supermarkets, Liquor and Fuel & Convenience businesses. We employ more than 100,000 people and service over 18 million customers every week. We are now focusing the transformation journey on our Liquor business, which comprises over 800 stores. We are passionate about providing our customers with the best possible retail experience. To help us do this, we search the world for talented people with great ideas, energy and passion.

Overview of the opportunity

As our business embarks on this exciting period of change, great opportunities exist for highly motivated and experienced Category Managers to become a part of our success story. Joining the team at Coles in Australia, you'll be a world class Category Manager with all the budgets and resources of a $35 billion business.

These roles will give you a fantastic opportunity to use your sound commercial acumen to develop and execute the merchandise strategy for your category, driving growth and customer satisfaction. You will hold full accountability for the success of your portfolio with responsibility for product development, range, price, merchandising, replenishment, stock management and supplier relationships. As a Category Manager, you will drive performance of your portfolio through profitability, growth and return.

You'll need to be every bit as entrepreneurial and innovative as you would be in a start-up. You won't just find yourself just joining the dots; you will be creating the picture yourself.

Alongside these skills, a genuine enthusiasm to make a significant contribution to the growing retail landscape in Australia is imperative. If you enjoy being part of the bigger picture and really want to make a difference, help us create an even better shopping experience for our customers.

Visa sponsorship and relocation assistance to the world's most livable city, Melbourne, will be offered to successful candidates and their dependents.
