We have an exciting opportunity for a Strategy Manager to join our team in Melbourne.
Reporting to the GM, Strategy & Operations, the Strategy Manager helps shape and deliver OneDigital's strategic agenda across loyalty, data, retail media and AI. This is a hands-on role - writing board papers, building business cases, preparing executive briefing materials, and working with divisional and Group stakeholders to land strategic initiatives.
You’ll work closely with senior leaders and cross-functional teams to evaluate opportunities, provide commercially grounded analysis, and drive initiatives from concept through to delivery.

- Prepare high-quality reports and recommendations for decision forums, ensuring clarity, commercial rigour and actionable insights.
- Ensure materials are clear, commercially grounded and meet Wesfarmers' governance standards.
- Lead business cases end-to-end - financial modelling, scenario analysis, risk assessment and commercial rationale.
- Translate strategic opportunities into investment-ready proposals with clear return expectations.
- Support the development and evolution of OneDigital's strategic roadmap across its four pillars (loyalty, data, retail media, AI).
- Act as a strategic integrator, ensuring initiatives are embedded and adopted across the business.
- Work across OneDigital, divisional teams (Bunnings, Kmart, Target, Officeworks, Wesfarmers Health) and Group functions (finance, legal, technology).

- 5+ years in strategy or business transformation
