Ko Waimatou – 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 Turanga – About The Role

Are you a strategic leader who loves seeing real change land on the ground and not just on a slide deck?

We're looking for a Senior Change & Capability Manager to lead transformation across Gilmours Wholesale, helping our people and stores thrive as we build the next generation of Gilmours (our Gilmours 3.0 journey).

This is a rare opportunity to be both hands-on and strategic — driving change across major initiatives, while designing the learning experiences and capability frameworks that help our B2B workforce grow, adapt, and succeed.

As part of our Wholesale Customer & Transformation team, you'll sit at the heart of where people, process, and purpose meet — shaping how change comes to life across our stores and support centre.

What you'll do :

Lead change strategy : Design and deliver enterprise-wide change frameworks that help new systems, processes, and ways of working stick — smoothly.

Build capability : Create modern, practical learning programs that uplift performance across stores and empower our B2B teams to grow with confidence.

Drive engagement : Craft communication and engagement plans that connect people to purpose and inspire buy-in at every level.

Collaborate & influence : Partner with owner-operators, leaders, and cross-functional teams to embed change where it matters most — in how we serve our customers every day.

Why you'll love it here :

You'll shape the culture and capability of one of NZ's most iconic foodservice brands.

You'll see your work make a real difference, from warehouse floor to the leadership table.

You'll join a supportive, down-to-earth team that believes transformation should be both impactful and human.
