Foodstuffs North Island Looking for Buying Lead – Commercial Buying Team at Mangere, Auckland Full Time
Foodies is a place where almost 25,000 awesome people are proud to work. Over the past 100 years we’ve built up a network of almost 350 PAK’n’SAVE’s, New World’s, Four Squares and Gilmours stores across the North Island.
As a Buying Lead you’ll be leading terms and product cost negotiations with Suppliers as part of one of Foodstuffs North Island key strategic projects.
About the role
Think procurement with a heap of buying, mixed in with category, retail and a whole load of insights and you are on your way to understanding this diverse and exciting role. This is about creating a partnership rather than laying out terms.
As one of the key negotiators for $3Bn of purchases over the next three years, you’ll be working with the category and customer insights team to integrate the negotiation strategy with information from the customer driven transformation to achieve targeted outcomes.
This is a senior role where you’ll facilitate the formal terms and buying agreements with suppliers across the business.
About you
Having negotiated for a living for some time, you’ll have a high level of commercial acumen along with the ability to form strong alliances with key stakeholders. You’ll have a diverse set of skills that will allow you to analyse large sets of data, have a high level of attention to detail while being able to see the bigger picture. System savvy, you’ll be confident working in a retail/FMCG environment.
What’s in it for you?
We’re committed to doing our part for our people, planet and the communities so that we can make New Zealand a better place for future generations.
On offer? A wide range of benefits with the opportunity to learn from some world class grocers, building your career in one of NZ’s leading retailers. We are based in brand new offices based 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!
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.
