Labor Standards Expert

WHAT YOU WILL DO

As a Labor Standards Expert, you own and develop the store labour standards model, defining how much time store tasks should take to enable accurate, fair and data-driven labour planning. You ensure time standards reflect real store operations across all store types, sizes and formats and remain robust as operating models evolve.

You will:

• Own and maintain the end-to-end store labour standards model, ensuring every task has a clear, validated and documented time value
• Define and continuously improve methodologies, calculation logic and rules behind labour standards
• Lead time studies, work measurements and productivity assessments across front of house, back of house and omnichannel tasks
• Ensure labour standards are updated to reflect new processes, operating model changes and omnichannel flows
• Establish and maintain a structured cadence for reviewing and updating task times, including annual refreshes and defined change triggers
• Act as a subject matter expert on labour standards and work measurement, supporting both technical and non-technical stakeholders

WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH

You will work closely with Operations Development, Tech and Product teams, as well as global teams and Sales Markets. In this role, you partner cross-functionally to ensure labour standards are accurate, trusted and consistently applied across the organisation.
