National Account Manager – Foodstuffs (Lindt)
We connect New Zealand with exceptional global brands and are proud to be the exclusive distributor of Lindt – the premium Swiss chocolate Kiwi consumers love. We’re now looking for a dynamic, commercially driven National Account Manager to own the Lindt portfolio across Foodstuffs.
This is your opportunity to shape the strategy, execution and growth of a brand people genuinely adore. If you enjoy using data to unlock commercial opportunities and building strong customer partnerships, this role could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
What You’ll Own
- Lead the Lindt commercial strategy across Foodstuffs, driving visibility, availability and premium positioning
- Bring the brand to life through seasonal and all‑year NPD, promotional programs and range reviews
- Deliver commercial results by achieving NSV and A&P targets, supported by accurate forecasting and disciplined budget management
- Turn insights into action using Circana, Dunnhumby and Trade Acumen to identify opportunities and shape customer plans
- Execute with excellence across launches, promotions and in‑store activation, partnering closely with field teams
- Strengthen customer relationships and ensure Foodstuffs receives best‑in‑class service
- Collaborate with Brand, Supply Chain, Corporate Services, IT and Territory Managers to deliver seamless execution
What You’ll Bring
- Strong FMCG commercial experience with a solid understanding of the Foodstuffs account
- Advanced Excel and strong analytical capability
- Experience using scan data and insight tools to shape commercial decisions
- Exceptional influencing and relationship‑building skills
- A resilient, proactive mindset with a passion for delivering results
- Strong communication, organisation and problem‑solving capability
Why This Role Stands Out
You’re not just managing a portfolio — you’re shaping the future of Lindt in New Zealand’s grocery channel. You’ll work with a premium global brand, a supportive team and a business that values commercial thinking, initiative and growth.
If you’re excited by premium brands, commercial strategy and the chance to make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you. Apply with your CV and a cover letter outlining your experience and why this opportunity excites you.
