Why this opportunity, and why now
We have a big pipeline of new store openings and refits underway, and our Retail Operations and Store Development teams need extra hands to deliver them well. We're offering a 12 to 16 week secondment for a team member to work alongside Bec, our Retail Operations Coordinator, and help get our new and refitted stores set up, trained and ready to trade.
This is a fixed-term secondment. At the end of it you return to your current role. You don't need to be in a management role to apply. We want someone who knows our business, our product and how our stores work, and who wants to see behind the scenes of how a store comes to life.
What you'll be doing
Supporting the coordination of new store openings, relocations and refits, including hands-on set-up in store
Coordinating signage, props, fixtures and merchandising materials for each project
Preparing and distributing store-opening packs and operational resources
Helping coordinate new-store training, and delivering systems training where needed
Building clear presentations, trackers and updates for the Retail Operations team and stakeholders




Supporting visual merchandising rollouts, signage and store communications as needed
Working with stores, Area Managers, suppliers and Support Office teams to keep projects on track, following up actions and flagging issues early
What you'll bring
Strong knowledge of Kitchen Warehouse: our product, store layouts and how a store runs day to day
Confidence with Google Drive, Word, Excel and PowerPoint, including building a clear, professional presentation
Great communication skills, both verbal and written
Strong organisation and attention to detail, and the ability to juggle several deadlines at once
A proactive, roll-your-sleeves-up attitude. You follow things through to the finish.
Flexibility to travel to stores as projects require
Experience with Asana or NetSuite is a bonus but not essential
What's in it for you
This is a real opportunity to build your skills in retail operations, project coordination and store development. You'll gain exposure across the business and work closely with our Retail Operations leadership team. It's a outstanding step if you're thinking about where your career at Kitchen Warehouse could go next.
How to apply
Apply through Employment Hero by 30 October ****. Before applying, please have a conversation with your Store Manager or line manager. Your current role will need to be covered while you're on secondment.
