We’re looking for a results-driven Area Manager to join our Tip Top team in Christchurch and lead the way in building strong relationships with key supermarket accounts. If you thrive on autonomy, love negotiating, and want to make a real impact in a fast-paced FMCG environment, this role is for you!

Why Join Us?

At George Weston Foods (GWF), we’re one of Australasia’s largest food manufacturers, and Tip Top is a household name in NZ. We’re passionate about quality, innovation, and creating a culture where our people succeed. This is your chance to be part of a team that values ownership, collaboration, and growth.

What You’ll Do

• Own your territory: Manage top-performing Pak’nSave, New World, Fresh Choice and 4 Square stores in your area.
• Drive results: Deliver commercial goals and maximise gross margin through smart planning and execution.
• Negotiate like a pro: Secure shelf space, promotional activity, and pricing that works for both, us and our customers.
• Collaborate for success: Work closely with merchandising, marketing, and key account teams to bring strategies to life.
• Analyse and improve: Use data insights to review performance and identify opportunities for growth.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5+ years’ experience in field sales or key account roles (FMCG experience preferred).
• Strong negotiation and communication skills—you know how to influence and build lasting relationships.
• A passion for success, resilience, and the ability to think creatively.
• Analytical mindset with experience using tools like Aztec or Nielsen.
• A business degree is desirable, but your experience and drive matter most.

What’s In It For You

• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Autonomy to manage your area and make decisions.
• Opportunities to grow your career within GWF.
• Be part of a supportive team that values innovation and high performance.
