You'll work closely with our local branch teams, suppliers, and other internal stakeholders to ensure exceptional service delivery, category development, and ongoing growth.

Identifying new product and category opportunities to grow account value

Using reporting and financial insights to track account performance and identify opportunities

Presenting regular account reviews and driving continuous improvement

Supporting local engagement strategies and helping branches build capability in servicing key customers

What We're Looking For

Experience in account management, territory sales, or business development (foodservice / FMCG a bonus)

Strong communication and relationship-building skills

Commercially minded, with a focus on value for both the customer and the business

Organised, self-motivated, and confident working across different teams

Knowledge of the local Northland market is a definite advantage

What's in it for You?

Company vehicle, phone & fantastic team support

Staff purchasing privileges with access to great deals on our massive product range

Work with a mix of Bidfood exclusive and well-known brands

Ongoing training and development to help you grow your career

The stability and opportunity of working with a market leader in NZ's foodservice industry
