We're proudly Tasmanian, proudly member-owned, and proudly recognised as a 2025 Employer of Choice.

Tasmanian Independent Retailers (TIR) is undertaking a whole-of-business digital transformation, and we're looking for an experienced Project & Change Manager to lead it.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead implementation of warehouse mobility solutions, including tablet-based picking and digital task management

• Build and execute a change management plan that drives genuine user and customer adoption — stakeholder engagement, communications, training and measured success

• Plan and lead a post-go-live stabilisation period to resolve issues quickly after implementation

• Report regularly to the CEO, Board and project steering group on progress, budget, risk and decisions required

About You:

• Proven experience leading ERP or major business system implementations, ideally end-to-end from selection through to go-live and stabilisation

• Strong project management skills: scope, schedule, budget, risk and vendor management

• Strong change management skills: stakeholder engagement, communications planning and training design and delivery

• Formal certification and/or equivalent experience in project management and/or change management

• Experience running vendor/system evaluation processes (RFPs or similar) and negotiating with implementation partners

• Experience implementing digital commerce, customer self-service, warehouse management or supply chain technology solutions highly regarded

• Excellent stakeholder and executive communication skills, including the ability to brief the CEO and Board

• Ability to translate cross-functional business requirements into a coherent system and project plan
