Full job description
Full-Time Permanent opportunity based in Sydney
Apply your exceptional sales planning expertise to manage the most commercially valuable space within our supermarkets.
Collaborate closely with senior leaders across the business.
We are Woolworths Group
We are Woolworths Group. 200,000+ bright minds, passionate hearts, and unique perspectives across Australia and New Zealand. Connected by a shared Purpose - 'to create better experiences together for a better tomorrow'. That Purpose fuels our ambition to explore new ideas, make brave commitments, and innovate better ways to meet the food and everyday needs of more than 24 million customers every week.
If you're excited to turn today's blue-sky thinking into a better tomorrow for future generations, you'll find yourself supported and enriched in a dynamic, inclusive, and empowering workplace. With a culture of genuine care, a flexible approach to work, and opportunities across the group to grow your career and make a meaningful impact, the possibilities for what we can achieve together are endless.
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.
Everyone belongs at Woolworths Group
Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are key to realising our purpose of better together for a better tomorrow.
