This is Retail...But Not as You Know It
This incredibly bright and bold retailer is launching something extraordinary—a world-first big box retail concept that completely redefines how Australians shop. Inspired by international club models, these members-only stores will bring everyday value pricing, a curated assortment of essentials, and bulk savings to a category that’s been overdue for disruption.
This isn’t just another store—this is a new value-driven movement, built on transparency, fairness, and a bold rejection of inflated markups. Designed around belonging, this model taps into what modern shoppers want most: real savings, real purpose, and real connection. Their starting in Victoria, but their eyes are firmly on a fast national scale.

About the Role
As the first ever Store Operations Manager, you’ll be the architect of execution and the beating heart of the first store’s success. You won’t be stepping into legacy systems—you’ll be writing the playbook and building the team that brings the bold promise to life.

A week in your world might look like this:

• Launch Leadership: Own the rollout of the first location in Melbourne’s north— recruitment, execution and frontline readiness.
• People & Culture: Hire and lead a passionate, high-performance team that delivers a shopping experience like nothing else in the market
• Execution Excellence: From pallet to shelf, ensure the store flows, feels, and functions in alignment with the value-led vision
• Operational Strategy: Partner with leadership to shape the SOPs that will scale across the growing network of stores.
• Agility in Action: Adapt quickly in a retail environment where supply chain innovation and an evolving merchandise mix are part of the DNA.
• Test, Learn, Lead: You’ll be empowered to explore new ideas, problem-solve in real time, and iterate fast—like a true founder-led business.

This is more than operations—it’s a leadership role for someone who wants to own, shape, and scale a concept. This is a role that will unquestionably evolve…
