Business Improvement Lead

Let’s create a more sociable future together

At Endeavour, we’re totally into what we do. With a portfolio that includes Dan Murphy’s, BWS, ALH Hotels, Pinnacle Drinks and more, we love to bring people together. Together we share our passion for our products and industry; it’s what inspires us to dream big, and continue to create new experiences for our customers and teams across Australia. If you thrive on positive energy, we want to meet you!

• Be uniquely you, come as you are
• Sydney or Melbourne location
• Hybrid working - we value our people

As part of Endeavour Go, our enterprise-wide transformation initiative, we are optimising how we work to unlock sustainable value, reduce the cost of doing business, and uplift operational capability across our network.

We are currently looking for a curious, pragmatic, and collaborative Business Improvement Lead to join the team in either Sydney or Melbourne.

Reporting to the Program Director / Program Manager – Endeavour Group Optimisation, you will play a central role in driving business-critical transformations across people, processes, and technology.

You will lead end-to-end operational diagnostics across our retail drinks business—identifying inefficiencies, shaping the project pipeline, and delivering sustainable commercial outcomes. From conducting time-and-motion studies and process modelling to presenting actionable business cases to steering committees, you will help design and embed the future operating model of our retail network.

Sound good? Read on.

Here is a taster of what you can expect in this role:

• Review baseline operational profiles, ways of working, and retail store workflows; perform impact analyses, time-in-motion studies, and data reviews to identify value creation and optimisation opportunities.
• Define business problems, test process options through work trials and simulation, and collaborate with operational teams to validate practical solutions.
• Synthesise complex diagnostic data into clear "dive-deep" packs and executive steering committee presentations with robust ROI and "size-of-prize" estimates.
• Partner across retail operations, technology, and support functions to implement streamlined processes, ensuring high adoption, compliance, and benefit realisation.
• Champion Lean Six Sigma methodologies, conduct capability training, and contribute to building a Centre of Excellence (COE) model across the group

Now let’s talk about you: 

We are looking for an energetic problem-solver with an owner’s mindset who thrives in dynamic environments and can turn complex data into practical, on-the-ground outcomes.

• 3–5 years of proven experience in business or process improvement, continuous improvement, or operational transformation.
• Practical experience leading workstreams using structured problem-solving and Lean Six Sigma frameworks.
• Superb written and verbal communication skills, with confidence facilitating workshops and influencing stakeholders from store teams to senior leadership.
• Strong analytical acumen using Excel and process-modelling tools, paired with the commercial sense to link operational changes directly to bottom-line value.
• Bachelor’s degree qualification; willingness to travel interstate and regionally as required to spend time with our operational teams.
• Background in retail, consumer goods, hospitality, or familiarity with procurement systems and cost-reduction projects (preferrable) 

The benefits are good too! 

• We offer hybrid ways of working
• An exclusive discount card for our ALH Hotels pubs & accommodation, BWS, Dan Murphy’s and other Endeavour Group brands. Through our partnership with Woolworths, you'll also enjoy discounts at Woolies supermarkets and BIG W 
• As a valued member of the team, your health and wellbeing is our top priority. You will have access to a range of free services to help you live well and support your physical, mental and financial wellbeing
