Te Tūranga – About the role
As a Category Manager for Produce, you'll take ownership of a diverse and fast-moving category that sits at the heart of our customers' shopping baskets. Working closely with growers, suppliers and our Owner Operators, you'll develop category strategies, drive sales performance, negotiate pricing and ensure our stores have access to quality fresh produce at the best possible value.
