What you'll do

You will play a crucial role in supporting the delivery of transformational initiatives across food, general merchandise, and clothing. Working within the Core Commercial Transformation team, you will lead the adoption of SAP functionality and processes to drive efficiency and a world-class customer experience to support our ambitious targets. As a Change Manager, you will be critical in effectively landing a variety of initiatives that integrate, automate, and optimise processes and systems across the Commercial Division. Your responsibilities will include providing expert change management methodologies for multiple initiatives, ensuring strong engagement across all stakeholders, developing change readiness frameworks, and proactively identifying and managing risks and dependencies to deliver initiatives at the desired pace. You will report into a Delivery Lead but work collaboratively with various departments.
