What’s in it for you;

• The ability to drive something within a flexible and creative working environment – if there’s a better way, get it done!
• Drive growth and control store operations on your terms with the support of an experienced Owner Operator – not corporate demands
• Development, this is a store with a proven track-record of developing Co-op leaders
• Work closely with and be mentored by a hands-on owner/operator.
• Living your best life on Waiheke - be part of a truly community driven store and of providing a better place to live for your community!

Our goal is to set you up for a great future within Foodstuffs North Island (Four Square, New World & Pak n Save), and provide all you’ll need to know to manage a store (or own one!).
For the right candidate we are committed to offering a competitive renumeration package based on your experience, further career development opportunities both within our store and the wider Co-op (including courses) and staff discount.
