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-Māui, 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 celebrate our people, our taonga, every day for being uniquely them.

Te Tūranga - About the role

Due to internal movement, we’re looking for an exceptional Team Coordinator to become the backbone of our Retail team.

Reporting to the Executive Assistant to the CRO (Chief Retail Officer), you’ll provide high-quality administrative and coordination support across the business unit of Retail and to the EA, ensuring priorities stay on track and stakeholders feel supported.

This is predominantly an office-based role, with flexibility to work from home depending on business needs, judged on a week-to-week basis.
