Your Opportunity

This role is designed to work alongside your tertiary studies while supporting your transition into a graduate career. Reporting directly to the Category Insights Lead, this internship offers two to three days of work per week for up to 12 months. It’s a great opportunity to gain real-world experience in a fast-moving consumer goods business here in New Zealand.

As the Category Insights Intern, you’ll build genuine capability and take ownership of meaningful projects across range and space planning and reporting, tracking and evaluating new product launches, developing market data dashboards, and coordinating internal and external customer promotional reviews.

You’ll work collaboratively with different departments and gain valuable exposure to Category Management, while building a broad understanding of how Category, Marketing, Sales, Finance and Operations work together to grow the Vitaco Health business.

The ability to collaborate positively with the Vitaco team and other departments, and to work well across different teams, will be critical to your success. This experience will build a strong foundation for graduate careers in category management, insights, analytics, sales, marketing and commercial functions.
