You know New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square right? That’s us! We are one of NZ’s biggest companies, you just don’t know it, because in true Kiwi style – we are humble about it (apart from right now maybe)!  Our purpose built offices close to Auckland Airport is home to New Zealand’s largest Distribution Centre and our Support Centre where our team of 1000 people strong, all strive towards becoming one of the most customer driven retailers in the world.

 

We have an amazing opportunity for an Assistant Category Manager in our awesome Merchandise team.  This will be covering a 10 month fixed term maternity leave contract.

 

Reporting to the Category Manager, you’ll be responsible for a number of categories across our retail banners (PAK’nSAVE, New World and Four Square). You’ll own and actively design strategies that drive growth across your assigned categories, planning, organising and operating the category to meet financial targets both as an individual and as part of the team.

 

Commercially astute and with an understanding of market trends and influences, you’ll be someone who loves numbers and can turn those into a meaningful story. Ideally from a category background, you’ll be strong at business analysis, technically savvy, naturally curious and will be a confident communicator, comfortable negotiating win win solutions.
