Working with Woolworths NZ | Me mahi tahi tatou ki Woolworths NZ

With over 185 stores and 20,000 team members across Aotearoa, we've made it our mission to make Kiwi lives a little better every day. 

We're friendly, down-to-earth, and energetic - we work hard but we have a great time doing it, and we love what we do. There is plenty of scope for new ideas, lots of room for you to add value, and importantly, you'll be working with a business that touches the lives of three million New Zealanders a week.

 
We embrace diversity of thought and love to take on challenges with a pragmatic and innovative approach. Our culture thrives on mutual respect, care, curiosity, openness, and a proactive attitude. We continually seek ways to pair, collaborate, support, and learn from each other as a team!

About the Role | Mō te Tūranga

The Transformation Business Partners are embedded in the most complex  and strategically important parts of our business, i.e. those with a complex set of interconnected dependencies, complex transformation requirements, those which have a greater contribution to business performance, and which are aligned with broader / wider business strategies (i.e. Group alignment).

You will work closely with Business Unit leaders to coordinate, enable and continuously improve strategy to value execution. This will require you to use your extensive experience in translating organisational objectives and OKRs into actionable initiatives, helping your stakeholders and other senior leaders to prioritise and sequence the work, and to work with other Strategy and Transformation team members to align the strategic plans across the NZ business so that they are integrated and can be appropriately and effectively resourced and delivered.

• Strategic enablement: Collaborate with BU senior leadership to refine plans, ensuring alignment with BU, NZ and Group Objectives and Key Results (OKRs).  

• Orchestrating quarterly planning: Ensure seamless integration between NZ and Group cadences (as required), fostering transparency and accountability throughout the Quarterly Delivery Cycle (QDC).  

• Transformation delivery: Serve as a trusted transformation partner, collaborating closely with delivery teams and leaders to unlock potential and accelerate progress. Leverage Platform teams as required to bring the right capabilities to the table to accelerate delivery.

• Operating model embedding: Facilitate the implementation of optimised operating models that improve our business agility.

• Strategic change management: Develop and implement change management strategies (with support from Change specialists / Transformation Consultants as needed), ensuring stakeholder buy-in and adoption of new initiatives.
