Strategy & New Ventures Manager
Ko wai mātou – About us
Foodstuffs New Zealand is a 100% New Zealand-owned and operated organisation, made up of two regional co-operatives and a central ‘centre of excellence’ leading national strategies and activities.
For over 100 years, our Co-operatives have been built by generations of local families, grocers and wholesalers and at the heart of everything we do are our customers, people and communities.
As our Strategy & New Ventures Manager, you will be a critical part of the team responsible for leading the long-term strategic plan of Foodstuffs New Zealand to achieve its purpose, aspiration and long-term goals.
Te Tūranga – About the role
You will play a critical leadership role shaping the long-term strategy for both Co-operatives and bringing it to life!
As a senior strategic partner, you will lead high-impact initiatives, evaluate new growth opportunities and deliver complex projects from concept through to execution.
This is a fast-paced, high-visibility role where you’ll collaborate with senior leaders across the Co-operatives and influence key strategic decisions that shape our future.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading the development and implementation of enterprise strategy
- Managing strategic workstreams and high-priority projects
- Evaluating new business opportunities and strategic partnerships
- Delivering strategic investment analysis, board reporting, and presentations
- Building financial and operational models to quantify opportunities
- Providing insights on competitors, market trends, and adjacent industries
- Partnering with senior leaders to drive alignment and execution
- Supporting annual business planning cycles across the organisation
He kōrero mōu – About you
You bring proven experience in strategy development and delivery, whether from consulting, investment banking, or an in-house strategy team. A natural leader, you’ve successfully managed people and influenced stakeholders, operating as a trusted advisor to senior leaders and helping shape key business decisions.
You combine sharp commercial thinking with strong technical skills — advanced financial modelling, compelling presentations, and the ability to move seamlessly between big-picture strategy and detailed execution. You communicate with clarity and impact, simplifying complex ideas to drive understanding and action.
Curious, adaptable, and outcome-focused, you thrive in fast-paced environments and deliver at pace without compromising quality. You take a collaborative yet confident approach, build strong relationships, and bring a forward-looking mindset — including an interest in using AI tools to enhance how strategy is developed and delivered.
