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.

Gilmours is a leading foodservice wholesaler in New Zealand, supporting businesses across hospitality and beyond with quality products, great value, and reliable service. We combine local expertise with national scale to help our customers succeed.

Te Tūranga – About the role   

We’re on the hunt for a Sales Executive to join our Wholesale team, working closely with Gilmours stores in the North Island and partnering with Trents in the South Island.

In this fast-paced, relationship-driven role, you’ll support National Accounts by delivering insights, coordinating promotional activity, and ensuring our customers receive outstanding service and value.

You’ll be at the centre of activity — managing catalogues and pricing, responding to customer and supplier queries, coordinating product onboarding, and supporting reporting and business reviews. You’ll also play a key role in driving sales performance through CRM tools like Salesforce and maintaining strong connections across our stores, customers, and suppliers.
