What you’ll do

As the Sales Plan Lead (Fresh and Events/Projects), you architect the promotional strategy, ensuring market-leading, customer-centric offers and flawless execution across Fresh and Grocery. You manage all key off-locations for a cohesive seasonal narrative. The role demands commercial acumen, people leadership, and a future-focused approach to retail technology.

• Partner with Commercial, Trade Support, Replenishment, and Marketing leads to design and execute sales plans that drive growth for Fresh and Grocery portfolios, ensuring alignment with broader business strategy.

• Ensure all off location plans elevate key trade-driving priorities to deliver market share and establish long-term customer price trust.

• Rigorously analyse event sales plan performance. Use data to identify what worked and what didn't—transforming raw numbers into actionable commercial strategies for future events.

• Lead the integration of Automation and AI tools into the planning workflow. Streamline repetitive tasks and use predictive modeling to improve the accuracy and efficiency of promotional cycles.

• Navigate and influence stakeholders at all levels of management, providing clear rationale for strategic shifts and ensuring cross-functional buy-in.

• Ensure all sales plans are published with 100% accuracy and on-time. Conduct regular store visits to audit execution, gathering "ground-truth" feedback to refine future processes.

 What you’ll bring

• Expert at navigating high-stakes negotiations and aligning senior leadership (Commercial, Marketing, and Ops) to bridge commercial goals with promotional strategy.

• Proven ability to translate complex datasets into actionable insights while leveraging AI and automation to modernize retail planning processes.

• Exceptional organizational skills to manage high-volume categories and direct support team workflows with precision and efficiency.

• An uncompromising eye for detail that ensures error-free sales plans and maintains "Price Trust" through accurate shelf-edge execution.

• A self-starter with the initiative to anticipate market shifts and pivot strategies before they impact store-floor operations.

 What you’ll experience

•  A global business with endless career possibilities around every corner and across every discipline - with valuable exposure to a vast and exciting business network.

•  A commitment to flexibility through a hybrid working model which combines time spent at a support office or hub and time working from home, supporting both in-person connection and balancing the flexibility that remote working provides for our teams.

•  Team discounts across our range of Woolworths Group brands you know and love and a robust rewards program that celebrates and incentivises purpose-driven work.
