- Partner with customers on promotions, displays, product education and new product launches to maximise brand presence and performance.
- Manage commercial outcomes, while maintaining accurate customer activity through customer relationship management.
- Work closely with internal teams and key accounts, including Foodstuffs South Island, to deliver excellent customer outcomes.
This role is expected to commence in January 2027.
