• Producing timely, effective, and clear communication plans that are tailored to the unique operational demands and staff structure of smaller convenience stores.
• Ensuring alignment of implementation schedules to minimise the impact on essential store tasks, delivery schedules, and peak trading times in convenience environments.
• Building strong, collaborative relationships and high engagement with Convenience Store Managers and colleagues while implementing initiatives, providing hands-on support and training.
• Updating progress tracking reports and communicating implementation progress to senior stakeholders.
• Monitoring, identifying, and actioning issues or risks specific to project delivery within a convenience store context.
• Creating an implementation plan and delivering benefits to agreed time and costs.
