Make an impact in remote NT & Far North QLD communities

Are you an experienced retailer looking for something a bit different, something with purpose? Join ALPA (Arnhem Land Progress Aboriginal Corporation) as a
Travelling Supermarket Manager.
This isn’t your typical store role. You won’t have a fixed base, you’ll travel between remote communities across the Northern Territory and Far North Queensland, stepping in to support and manage stores wherever you’re needed. Pack your bags, and we’ll take care of everything else.
 
What You'll Do

• Oversee the day‑to‑day running of ALPA supermarkets in remote communities
• Coach, mentor, and support local team members
• Bring ALPA’s nutrition policy to life by promoting healthier choices
• Work closely with merchandising, nutrition teams, and community leaders to keep stores running smoothly

What You’ll Bring

• Hands‑on retail experience (POS, stock control, staff supervision, store operations)
• Strong communication and relationship‑building skills across different cultures and languages
• Flexibility and resilience - remote work can come with challenges like limited resources, long supply chains, and cultural considerations
• A genuine desire to support First Nations communities 

What You Get in Return

• Accommodation and utilities fully covered 
• 7 weeks annual leave + 17.5% leave loading
• 14% superannuation
• Two return flights per year to Darwin or Cairns
• Mobile phone and streaming allowance
• The chance to make a meaningful difference in remote First Nations communities
