Ko wai mātou – About us

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

With more than 320 stores and over 27,000 Foodies across Te Ika-a-Māui, Foodstuffs North Island is a co-operative proudly owned by our Members. Our purpose is simple – making sure New Zealanders get more out of life, and we’re driven by our aspiration to be one of New Zealand’s most customer-driven and productive retailers.

Te Tūranga – About the role

As our Supply Chain Optimisation & Productivity Lead, you’ll work closely with 8 stores across the Gilmours network to identify opportunities, simplify processes and embed best-practice ways of working.

This is not a role where you’ll be improving operations from behind a desk. You’ll spend time with store teams, understanding how work happens in practice, identifying root causes and helping turn operational challenges into practical, sustainable improvements.

  • Lead the review, design and optimisation of end-to-end supply chain and store operational processes
  • Establish clear operating standards, routines and accountabilities that can be consistently adopted across stores
  • Act as the Wholesale subject matter expert for SAP EWM and operational systems
  • Map and improve processes across goods receipt, storage, replenishment, picking, dispatch, customer service, sales support and post-sale activity
  • Partner with store leadership teams to understand operational challenges and develop fit-for-purpose solutions
  • Support the rollout and adoption of new systems, tools, features and business processes
  • Create practical process documentation, training resources and simple frontline guides
  • Use operational KPIs, dashboards and insights to identify bottlenecks, prioritise activity and measure impact
  • Work across DNA, IT, Customer, Supply Chain, Finance and store teams to develop scalable improvements
  • Lead and contribute to transformation and productivity initiatives that improve cost-to-serve, labour productivity, inventory accuracy, service execution and customer experience

He kōrero mōu – About you

You’re an experienced supply chain or operational improvement specialist who knows how to balance processes, systems and data with the realities of a busy store or warehouse environment.

  • Strong supply chain, warehouse, logistics or store operations experience, ideally gained within wholesale, FMCG, retail or another complex multi-site environment
  • Deep working knowledge of SAP EWM or a similar ERP warehouse management system
  • Proven experience delivering process improvement, operational excellence, transformation or change initiatives
  • Strong process mapping, root-cause analysis and problem-solving capability
  • The ability to simplify complex operational challenges and develop practical solutions
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement, coaching and influencing skills
  • Confidence building trust and credibility with store teams, owner-operators and senior leaders
  • A willingness to work alongside stores to observe, test, refine and embed improvements in live environments
  • Strong data literacy, including using reports, dashboards and performance measures to guide decisions
  • Commercial understanding of how productivity, inventory accuracy, cost-to-serve and service execution influence customer experience, margin and growth
  • Clear communication skills, with the ability to translate technical or operational concepts for different audiences

Most importantly, you’ll be curious, collaborative and resilient, with a practical mindset and a genuine commitment to helping teams adopt new ways of working that stick

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
