Job description

Lead. Influence. Grow. Build Your Future.

We are seeking an exceptional FMCG sales leader with the commercial capability, industry credibility, and leadership presence to drive the next phase of growth. If you've built a successful career leading sales and key account teams, delivering commercial results, and navigating New Zealand's grocery landscape, this is your opportunity to take a seat at the leadership table and position yourself for an even bigger future.

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

• Be a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, helping shape company strategy and direction.
• Lead a strong, talented sales team and make a genuine impact on business performance.
• Develop your leadership capability through a structured succession pathway toward General Management.
• Potential future equity opportunity for the right individual.

Working closely with customers, brand partners, and internal teams, you'll identify new opportunities, strengthen strategic relationships, and bring energy, accountability, and commercial discipline to everything you do.

• Deep knowledge of the New Zealand grocery sector, including Foodstuffs and Woolworths.

• Highly developed relationship management and stakeholder engagement skills.
• A growth mindset, entrepreneurial approach, and the ambition to take on broader leadership responsibilities in the future.

Most importantly, you're a proven leader who wants more than just another senior sales role. You're looking for an opportunity to influence strategy, build a legacy, and potentially become part of the future ownership and leadership of a growing business.
