Ko wai mātou – About us

Foodstuffs New Zealand is a 100% New Zealand owned and operated organisation, bringing together two regional co-operatives and a national centre of excellence. Our brands include some of the country's most recognised and trusted names, including New World and PAK'nSAVE.

Precision Media is Foodstuffs' fast-growing retail media business. We use first-party customer insight and a powerful mix of in-store, onsite and offsite media to create a win for customers, suppliers and our co-operative. For supplier partners, that means campaigns designed to deliver measurable outcomes, from awareness and trial through to basket growth and loyalty.

Te Tūranga – About the role

This is a 12 month fixed term senior, commercially focused client partnership role - not a traditional media planning position.

You will own a portfolio of high-profile FMCG suppliers, building trusted relationships, identifying growth opportunities and leading insight-led media strategies across the New World and PAK'nSAVE network. You will be accountable for revenue performance across your portfolio and will guide clients from the initial commercial conversation through to campaign strategy, investment and review.

What you will own

• Grow revenue and supplier investment across an assigned portfolio of major FMCG brands.
• Maintain an active pipeline, identify new opportunities and provide clear forecasting against your portfolio targets.
• Build strong senior relationships and become a trusted adviser on how retail media can solve supplier business and brand challenges.
• Lead annual partnership planning, campaign recommendations, business reviews and investment conversations.
• Translate customer data, category insight and supplier objectives into commercially strong, through-the-line media strategies.
• Develop integrated solutions across in-store, onsite and offsite channels that drive awareness, trial, basket growth and loyalty.
• Partner with Insights & Measurement to turn campaign results into compelling effectiveness stories and stronger future recommendations.
• Work closely with Campaign Operations, Merchandise, Category and wider Foodstuffs teams to deliver joined-up solutions and excellent client outcomes.

He kōrero mōu - About you

You are an experienced media or client partnership professional who is equally comfortable discussing a client's business challenge, shaping a smart media response and leading a commercial conversation. You combine strong strategic planning with the energy and confidence to grow relationships and revenue.

You do not need to come from retail media, but you will understand the broader media ecosystem and be curious about how customer data and closed-loop measurement can create better outcomes for brands.

You’ll bring:

• Strong sales experience built from agency, retail or FMCG environments.
• A track record of developing commercially effective media solutions and growing senior client relationships.
• Confidence presenting, influencing and negotiating with senior internal & external stakeholders.
• The ability to turn data and insight into a clear, persuasive story and practical client recommendation.
• A collaborative team player who delivers, pitches in when needed and brings positive energy and a good sense of humour.

This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of media, customer insight and commerce, with access to trusted brands, rich first-party data and a growing media proposition. You will have the scope to own major relationships, influence how we work and see the measurable impact of the campaigns you create.
