Australia's largest retailer operating Woolworths and BIG W across food, general merchandise, and logistics
Woolworths Group operates a dual-brand retail footprint across Australia and New Zealand with a 10,000+ person workforce concentrated heavily in operations and sales roles. The tech stack spans both legacy enterprise systems (SAP, SQL Server, Salesforce) and modern cloud platforms (Azure, GCP, Vertex AI), paired with front-end diversity (React, Angular, Vue), indicating a large organization managing parallel modernization efforts rather than a single coherent migration path. Active hiring is accelerating across operations roles, while data and engineering remain lean functions—a structural signal of a retailer optimizing store-level execution before scaling analytics or product velocity.
Notable leadership hires: Team Lead, Head of Data, Head of Design
