• Strong spatial awareness and the ability to visualise retail environments from plans and drawings.


• Demonstrated experience managing multiple projects concurrently and delivering outcomes to tight deadlines.


• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to coordinate across internal teams and external partners.


• A proactive, solutions-focused approach and the ability to work autonomously.


• Retail planning or retail design experience will be highly regarded.

Why join us?

• Be part of an exciting growth journey as we expand towards 700 stores.


• Work within a collaborative, high-performing Store Development team.


• Enjoy a flat, fast-paced environment where your ideas and contributions make an impact.


• Hybrid work model.


• Team Member discount of 15% for you and an immediate family member.


• Paid parental leave for primary and secondary caregivers.


• Employee Assistance Program – free and confidential support for you and your family.
