What you'll do

You will be at the forefront of a significant logistics systems change programme, responsible for managing all aspects of programme management from development through to implementation. Working collaboratively with cross-functional stakeholders, you will lead the coordination of resource planning activities, facilitate project launch and milestone reviews, and ensure the successful delivery of key strategic projects. Your role will involve owning and maintaining the programme plan, identifying and resolving risks and issues, and driving positive outcomes through effective stakeholder management and collaboration. Additionally, you will play a crucial role in evolving the project governance framework, providing guidance for completing required documents, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and learning within the Logistics Systems Team.

Who you are

You are an experienced and results-driven professional with a proven track record in leading complex technology change programmes. Your expertise in programme and project management, coupled with strong communication skills and the ability to build collaborative relationships, enables you to drive the successful delivery of key strategic projects within the logistics and transport operation. You excel in facilitating workshops, managing stakeholders, and coaching teams to optimise resource efficiencies and achieve business objectives, while maintaining a focus on continuous improvement and stakeholder satisfaction.

Around here, there’s always the chance to try something new — whether that’s as part of an evolving team or somewhere else across the business - and we take development seriously and promise to support you. We also recognise and celebrate colleagues when they go the extra mile and, where possible, offer flexible working. When you join our team, we’ll also offer you an amazing range of benefits. Here are some of them:

Starting off with colleague discount, you'll be able to save 10% on your shopping online and instore at Sainsbury's, Argos, TU and Habitat, and we regularly increase the discount to 15% at points during the year.
