Location: Barangaroo, NSW or Alphington, VIC 

Division: Simpler for Stores – Retail Business Support 

Role Type: Full-Time, Hybrid working

About the Role

Are you a data-driven problem solver who loves translating complex numbers into real-world operational success? As our Workforce Planning and insights Specialist, you will be the engine behind the "Simpler for Stores" initiative. You’ll ensure that the business understand the complexities and opportunities that can drive productivity and profitability in our 350+ sites with 12,000+ team members, which will in turn ensure exceptional customer experiences.

You will be a strategic partner to our Operations teams, helping them navigate budgets, seasonal forecasting, dynamic trend changes and productivity improvements through actionable insights.

We’re moving toward a "simpler" store model, but the math behind it is anything but simple. We need someone who understands that managing labor isn't about the average - it's about managing the variance. We’re looking for a pro who uses standard deviation to build "risk-adjusted" models that account for the volatility in working hours across our footprint.

Why this role?

• Scale: Influence the productivity of 12,000+ employees by narrowing the gap between "planned" vs. "actual" hours.
• Tech-Forward: Use SQL, Tableau, and Python to move beyond flat forecasting into probabilistic labor simulations.
• Visibility: You’ll be the subject matter expert coaching Brand Finance and Operationss leaders on how to interpret volatility and stabilize labor spend.

Key Responsibilities

• Labour Modeling: support with the build of bottom-up labor budgets for 350+ sites using engineered labour standards.
• Insightful Reporting: Create, present, and implement simplified, high-impact reporting to help Operations teams identify anomalies, trends, costs, and efficiency opportunities, as well as drive the link between workforce mix and strategy.
• Forecasting: Project workforce requirements for major seasonal events and long-term business cycles.
• Stakeholder Coaching: Partner with and coach Brand Finance and Operations teams on workforce planning best practices.
• Productivity Optimization: Use data to identify performance gaps and support initiatives that make store operations "simpler."

Now let’s talk about you: 

• Experience: 5 years in operational workforce planning (Retail or Hospitality experience is a huge plus).
• Technical Skills: Advanced analytical and modeling skills. Proficiency in SQL and Tableau is essential; experience with Python or cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP) is highly desired.
• Education: A Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Commerce, Engineering, or a related field.
• Business Acumen: The ability to interpret Enterprise Agreements, awards, and wage reporting to drive productivity.
• Communication: A knack for presenting data to cross-functional stakeholders in a way that is easy to understand and act upon.

 

The benefits are good too! 

• We offer flexible working in every sense
• An exclusive discount card for BWS, Dan Murphy’s, Woolworths, BIG W and other Endeavour Group brands, including our ALH pubs
• Monthly meeting-free days 
• Your health and wellbeing is your most important asset, and as one of our valued team members, it’s our first priority. You will have a range of free services to help you live well and support your physical, mental and financial wellbeing
• Endeavour Group is full of opportunities - use our dedicated learning and development options to grow an idea, yourself, and your career. This is just the start, so dream big.
