The Opportunity?

As our new General Manager, Convenience Operations, you will build and lead our diverse national team to achieve operational excellence and deliver business results through our people.  You will be responsible for developing and executing the OTR Strategic Plan across our retail network and a talent pipeline for future store growth across Australia.

We stand firm to our customer promise to never run out and never close and we are looking for someone who aligns with our values and keeps our Guests at the forefront of their decision making.

Who are we?

At OTR we believe our customers are our guests. They lead full lives and are busier than us so we are here to make their lives easier. To help them save time. To allow them to keep going. To be open when they need, with the products and services they want. To rescue them when they have run out. To allow them to quickly grab a quality treat. To surprise them when they least expect it. To talk to them as locals, not deal with them as transactions. To put a smile on their faces. To remove uncertainties, hassles and worries. To replace time spent looking for the cheapest, with the satisfaction of consistent value, never offending them with price. We know them. And they know us. We are a part of their community, and we are all proudly Australian.

In the end, it’s not only what we do that’s important, but also the way that we do it that keeps them coming back. We are OTR and we’re for making life easy
