Job description

Are you ready to own the technology backlog behind one of the most significant supply chain transformations in Australian retail? MECCA is building a new Distribution Centre, and we’re looking for a Technology Product Owner to bridge our business and technology teams through it. You’ll manage the continuous improvement backlog for our warehouse, e-commerce and fulfilment operations, while playing a genuine role in shaping how our new automated DC comes to life.

The Role You Could Play

• Career-defining project exposure – be part of a large-scale automated DC build from the ground up
• Cutting-edge tech stack – Blue Yonder WMS, Knapp, and integrations across the supply chain landscape
• Real variety – a mix of BAU, continuous improvement, and major transformation work, not just one lane
• Visibility – close, direct relationships with warehouse and fulfilment leadership
• Stability – a permanent role with one of Australia’s most recognised retail brands

Key Responsibilities

• Owning and prioritising the supply chain technology backlog in Jira
• Gathering requirements and managing 3–4 parallel improvement initiatives at a time
• Acting as the link between business stakeholders and our third‑party development partner
• Supporting the SDLC end to end — discovery through to hypercare
• Playing a key role as our new Distribution Centre comes online

What You Will Bring

• Prior experience in the Supply Chain / fulfilment domain, (warehouse operations experience — omnichannel fulfilment highly regarded)
• Hands‑on experience with a tier‑one WMS (Blue Yonder or Manhattan)
• Background as a Product Owner, Business Analyst, or Functional Analyst
• Proven ability to juggle multiple initiatives concurrently without dropping the ball on BAU
• Comfortable working across Agile and traditional delivery methods
• Confident engaging both technical and non‑technical stakeholders

Nice to have

• Exposure to a large‑scale DC build or warehouse automation project, or familiarity with carrier integrations (Shippit, Startrack)

No Blue Yonder experience? No problem — if your WMS fundamentals are strong, you’ll pick it up fast.

This role is based in Richmond, with regular travel to our Tullamarine DC site and 4 days per week in the office. It’s a fast‑paced, high‑variety role — release cycles can be unpredictable and you’ll be balancing multiple priorities at once.

If that sounds energising, we’d love to hear from you.
