Home improvement retailer across Australia & New Zealand with tech-enabled supply chain
Bunnings operates a large-scale retail operation spanning Australia and New Zealand, anchored in legacy enterprise systems (Oracle EBS, Informatica, MicroStrategy) but actively modernizing analytics infrastructure—adopting Power BI alongside Azure OpenAI and cloud tooling. The hiring mix is operations-heavy (46 ops roles) with parity in sales (46), yet only 13 engineering positions, suggesting vendor-led infrastructure over in-house platform development. Pain points cluster around inventory loss, stock management, and supply chain flow, indicating operational complexity at scale rather than product innovation.
Bunnings is the leading home improvement and outdoor living retailer in Australia and New Zealand, serving consumers, project builders, commercial tradespeople, and the housing industry. The company operates a large physical footprint backed by supply chain, merchandising, and trade-focused business units. Technology spans retail point-of-sale, trade-customer management (Salesforce), business intelligence (MicroStrategy, now adopting Power BI), and internal workflows (.NET, React, Azure). The organization is actively hiring across operations and sales roles, with ongoing initiatives in supply chain mapping, inventory optimization, and workforce planning.
