JOIN OUR BUYING TEAM – PAK’NSAVE HORNBY IS HIRING!

Are you a sharp negotiator with retail experience — or someone looking to kickstart a buying career?

PAK'nSAVE Hornby is on the lookout for two talented individuals to join our Dry Goods team :

  • Dry Goods Buyer – for experienced buyers ready to take ownership of categories and drive results.
  • Assistant Dry Goods Buyer – a developmental role designed as a pathway into buying.

Both roles play a key part in delivering value, availability, and great products across our Grocery, Dairy, Liquor, and Frozen categories. Days and hours will be discussed at the time of the interview.

  • Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and Excel know-how.
  • A positive, proactive attitude and willingness to learn.
  • Great teamwork and communication skills.
