A day in the life
A day in the life
Usha: I am Usha Vinjamuri, I'm a Project Manager in Information Technology at Coles Group.
Paul: I look after a portfolio of systems and applications that we use to manage our 120,000 plus employees, all the way from store team members to everyone in the head office.
Usha: I work with technology teams, business stakeholders and ensure quality outcomes are delivered. Another key component is security standards, and we ensure the people information is safe and protected.
Paul: Typical working day will often involve catching up with various parts of my team, catching up with stakeholders to understand new requirements they may have or new problems they're trying to solve, or to provide updates on projects that we're delivering into their space.
Usha: My typical working week looks like planning for the next two or four weeks and doing regular updates to business stakeholders on how the project is tracking. So, I will be reporting on any risks or issues.
It's not about work all the time. We hang in the hub and have a coffee catchup or lunch get-togethers.
Paul: The work I do impacts all employees of Coles. You may think that Coles is just a supermarket selling groceries, but everything that you see on a supermarket shelf is driven by the technology platforms.
Usha: There are over 120,000 members in Coles and we ensure they are paid correctly and on time. So, the impact is widely seen across all team members.
Paul: Probably my proudest moment is when I delivered the Salesforce platform into the Coles technology portfolio. This was bringing it on as a fully managed platform that would be utilised with various areas of the business.
Usha: My proudest moments are when a project is delivered on time with zero defects that gives immense satisfaction to me. In addition to that, I'm part of Women in Tech Mentoring program. This is to uplift female talent at Coles.
Paul: If technology is not your thing, there's opportunities in other areas of Coles as well. You can look at opportunities within finance people and culture or even in the retail space.
Usha: The opportunities are endless, and our leadership team is always there to support you on your career journey.
