Ko Wai Mātou – About Us

Kia ora. We’re Foodies. You know New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square right? That’s us!

With 300+ stores and over 27,000 Foodies across Te Ika-a-Maui, our North Island Co-op has the privilege of helping New Zealanders get more out of life. Locally owned, we reflect the communities we serve, and we celebrate our people - our taonga, every day for being uniquely them.

Te Tūranga – About The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Security Business Partner to help embed security into how our business thinks, plans and delivers.

You’ll be a trusted security advisor to business and technology leaders, bringing security into conversations early and helping teams navigate risk without creating unnecessary barriers. You’ll connect the dots between business priorities, technology delivery and cyber security, translating complex security requirements into practical, commercially minded solutions.

At the heart of the role is a simple philosophy: we do security with our teams, not to them.

• Free carparking - we’ve got over 1,000 carparks including EV plugs
• Southern cross health insurance

• A strong understanding of both technology and business, with the ability to turn security requirements into practical outcomes.
• Proven ability to influence, advise and build trusted relationships with stakeholders at all levels.
• Experience embedding security into delivery, operational or business change, ideally including security awareness or champion programmes.
