No ATAR? No Worries! Build Your Career with Spotlight Retail Group

Not everyone takes the same path after school, and that’s perfectly okay. At Spotlight Retail Group (SRG), we believe your future shouldn’t be defined by a number. Whether you’ve just finished Year 12 or are still figuring out your next step, we’re here to show you that a successful career doesn’t require a university degree. 

We’re not just retail. We’re an opportunity. 

SRG is home to some of Australia’s most iconic brands, including Spotlight, Anaconda, and Harris Scarfe. Behind every store is a team of passionate people working across buying, marketing, logistics, finance, HR, and more. And many of them started exactly where you could, on the shop floor. 

Start Where You Are. Grow Where You Want.  

We offer real career pathways that begin with entry-level roles and grow into leadership and specialist positions. You’ll learn on the job, gain hands-on experience, and be supported by a team that wants to see you succeed. 

Here’s how your journey could look: 

  • Start in-store: Learn the ropes in customer service, merchandising, and sales. Build confidence, communication skills, and product knowledge. 
  • Move into logistics: Help keep our supply chain running smoothly. From warehouse operations to inventory management, logistics is the backbone of our business. 
  • Explore marketing, buying, or management: Got an eye for trends or a knack for numbers? Our head office teams are always looking for fresh thinkers who understand what customers want. 
  • Reach head office roles: Whether it’s HR, finance, IT, or product development, there’s a place for you to grow your career behind the scenes. 

No Degree? No Problem. 

We don’t ask for an ATAR. We ask for energy, curiosity, and a willingness to learn. Our team is made up of people from all walks of life – some with degrees, some without, all with drive. 

We offer: 

  • On-the-job training 
  • Leadership development programs 
  • Clear career progression 
  • Supportive mentors and managers 
  • Recognition for your achievements 

Real Stories. Real Growth. 

Many of our store managers, buyers, and team leaders started out as casuals or Christmas temps. They didn’t have degrees; they had determination. And with SRG’s support, they built careers they’re proud of.  You could be next. 

Your Career. Your Way. With SRG.  

If you’re ready to take the first step, we’re ready to walk with you. Whether you’re looking for part-time work while you figure things out or you’re ready to dive into full-time employment, SRG has a place for you.   

No ATAR? No worries. Your future is waiting.
