As a Retail Optimisation Advisor, you’ll play a key advisory role in improving productivity and reducing the cost of doing business across our retail network.
Working within the Planning & Performance team, you’ll use workforce, service, and operational insights to identify where productivity is being lost and where improvements can be made. You’ll translate data into clear, practical actions that help Ops and Service Partners lift execution in store.
This is a critical enabling role - rather than owning store outcomes, you’ll influence performance by highlighting opportunities, coaching improvement activity, and supporting the adoption of better ways of working.

Analysing rostering, labour deployment, and execution to pinpoint where performance is breaking down
Providing clear, practical insights that enable targeted coaching and improvement activity in stores
Supporting the adoption of workforce planning tools, productivity levers, and operating rhythms in-store
Highlighting risks, constraints, and emerging issues impacting performance
Translating complex data into simple, actionable insights for non-technical audiences
Partnering with Planning & Performance, Ops, and Service teams to align insights with store realities
Supporting change in-store by reinforcing expectations and ways of working

Exposure to workforce, labour, SAP, POS, or operational performance data
Experience working alongside field-based teams to drive store-level change
