At TTHG, we’re not just selling tools – we’re building stronger communities.
As the powerhouse behind trusted brands like Mitre 10, Total Tools, and Home Timber & Hardware, we support independently owned stores, joint venture stores and company owned across Australia – giving local legends the edge they need to take on the big chains.

Now, we’re on the hunt for a bold, customer-obsessed retail innovator Head of Retail Innovation to lead the design of the store of the future.

About the Opportunity:

You’ll be the mastermind shaping what hardware retail looks like in the years to come. From futuristic layouts to AI-driven tools and digital-first experiences, you’ll fuse technology, design, and customer insight into scalable formats that turn good stores into great ones.

This isn’t just about design – it’s about redefining how Australians shop for hardware and how our stores connect with their communities.

In this role:

• Lead the Retail Revolution: Set the innovation strategy and bring bold ideas to life across the TTHG network.
• Design with Heart: Use human-centred design to create stores that are as practical as they are inspiring.
• Tech it Up: Explore and embed emerging tech – smart shelves, AI merchandising, digital signage and more.
• Partner Across the Board: Work hand-in-hand with Format, Marketing, Merchandise, Property & Store Development teams.
• Build the Blueprint: Create tools and processes that make store planning consistent, smart, and scalable.
• Lead a Dream Team: Build and inspire a team of experience designers, retail strategists, and tech trailblazers.

You are Likely a Match:

• You see beyond the blueprints – you understand how people move, shop, and connect.
• You’ve led transformation projects in large, multi-site retail environments.
• You balance creativity and commerciality like a pro.
• You’re fluent in CAD, planning tools, customer data, and retail analytics.
• You believe in empowering teams, taking smart risks, and learning fast.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Design, Architecture, or Retail Management
• Bonus points for a postgrad in Design Thinking, Retail Strategy or an MBA
• Proven experience in store design, space planning, and innovation leadership

 A bit about your style

• You’re authentic, courageous, and collaborative.
• You bring energy to a room and clarity to complexity.
• You empower others, lead with purpose, and never settle for “good enough.”
