Head of Supply Chain & Infrastructure – Wholesale

Ko Waimātou – About Us

Kia ora. We’re Foodies. You know Gilmours, New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square right? That’s us! With 300+ stores and over 24,000 Foodies across Te Ika-a-Maui, our North Island Co‑op has the privilege of helping New Zealanders get more out of life. Locally owned, we reflect the communities we serve, and we celebrate our people – our taonga, every day for being uniquely them.

Gilmours is 100% NZ owned and operated, proudly serving thousands of businesses and organisations across the North Island with everything they need to fuel their success – from fresh produce and butchery to chilled & frozen, grocery, liquor, and more. We’re the one‑stop foodservice shop for Kiwi businesses.

Te Tūranga – About The Role

Join us as our Head of Supply Chain & Infrastructure, where you’ll lead the development and execution of a world‑class supply chain strategy that supports our 2030 goals and beyond.

Reporting to the GM Wholesale & Customer Service Centre, you’ll drive transformation across our support centre and stores, championing continuous improvement, operational excellence and customer‑centricity.

This role is highly strategic – you’ll work closely with the Wholesale Leadership Team, Membership & Property, Supply Chain, Owner Operators and other key areas to answer big questions like :

  • Where should our stores be located to best serve our customers?
  • What infrastructure do we need to support future growth?
  • How do we design a supply chain that’s fit for purpose, future‑ready and financially sustainable?

In this role, you’ll also :

  • Lead the design and delivery of a prioritised supply chain and infrastructure programme aligned to FSNI’s strategic goals.
  • Drive operational efficiency and reduce CODB through best‑practice processes and productivity insights.
  • Deliver benefits from EWM and other strategic tools, ensuring they evolve to meet business needs.
  • Shape the property strategy for future growth, including Cash n Carry, temperature‑controlled solutions, and store investment planning.
  • Inspire a high‑performing team culture focused on collaboration, accountability and customer promise delivery.
  • Champion integration across divisions, identifying opportunities for ROI, efficiency and service improvement.
  • Role model leadership and partner effectively across FSNI, including Gilmours stores and Owner Operators.
  • What You’ll Bring

  • Proven leadership experience in diverse, high‑performing teams and stakeholder engagement.
  • A strategic mindset with the ability to align operational execution to long‑term business goals and market opportunities.
  • Proven experience in designing and delivering productivity initiatives that drive measurable efficiency and performance gains.
  • Strong B2B operations capability with a commercial and customer‑first mindset.
  • Excellent planning, communication and presentation skills.
  • Collaborative yet independent working style, with agility in fast‑paced environments.
  • Practical commercial acumen and ROI appreciation.
  • Experience in programme / project management, operational design and change delivery.
  • Curiosity, resilience and a drive for innovation and continuous improvement.
  • Ngā Painga – What We Offer

  • Free car parking – we’ve got over 1,000 carparks including EV plugs.
  • Southern Cross health insurance.
  • 5% discount at our retail stores.
  • Onsite café with subsidised meals and a mini‑mart.
  • Flexible working options, a day off on your birthday and long service leave.
  • In‑house learning and development programmes and courses, flu vaccinations and social network groups (we call them Tribes).
  • Experience Awesome. Achieve Awesome. Be Awesomely You.

    We’re proud to have a focus on Diversity & Inclusion here at Foodies and welcome courageous behaviour, encourage togetherness, inspire our people to be their best selves in our Foodies whānau.
