It goes without saying that you will have strong problem solving and decision-making skills, be an expert with data, trends and analysis and will be an amazing natural communicator with the ability to really collaborate.
What’s in it for you
We are based in purpose-built offices in Mangere (near the airport) with loads of free parking, a mini mart for those afternoon cravings and a café that makes great coffee (or smoothies!).
We are big on work life balance and as such have flexible working opportunities to allow you to get the most out of life – we tend to work collaboratively for few days in the office together and then a few at home.
Southern cross healthcare, a day off on your birthday, multiple tribes to join, lots of social events to have some fun across the groups and the opportunity to work with the most amazing Wholesale Supply team who are achieving great things and having a great time doing it!
Experience awesome. Achieve Awesome. Be awesomely you.
We’re proud to have a focus on Diversity & Inclusion here at Foodies and welcome applications from you all regardless of who you are or what you do. We welcome courageous behaviour, encourage togetherness, inspire our people to be their best selves in our Foodies whānau, but most importantly we celebrate our people - our taonga, every day for being uniquely them.
