Experience
Project Manager - Pricing and Promotions Associate – Consultant
Reporting into the head of Commercial Insights & Corporate Strategy (SLT) responsible for delivery of two projects:
A promotional effectiveness tool and deployment of a cross functional customer first sales plan. Lead the change management process across a large cross-functional team.
Encountered strong resistance to change which required a careful and methodical approach to ensure not only all stakeholders bought into the strategy but actioned it with their respective teams.
The work involved deep root cause analysis, prioritization of tasks, strong dispute management skills as well as SLT buy in and support. Launching this project took +6 months however, resulted in significant improvements to Big W’s promotional planning cycle, pricing mythology, measuring KPI’s through to improvements to supply and execution and most importantly a significant improvement in their GPM.
