**About Us**

At Service Foods, we are passionate about delivering exceptional service and premium-quality products to New Zealand’s food service and hospitality industry. As the country’s largest privately owned and operated, fully integrated food distribution business, we are proud to have been recognised by Deloitte as one of New Zealand’s Best Managed Companies in both 2023 and 2024.

**The Role**

This is a dynamic, on-the-road role perfect for someone who enjoys face-to-face engagement and creating meaningful connections with customers. You’ll be the key link between our clients and our business, ensuring their needs are met and exceeded.

Your focus will be on growing our presence in Johnsonville, Tawa and Porirua, building new relationships, and uncovering fresh opportunities within our existing customer base.

- Maintain a strong call cycle to ensure high customer satisfaction
- Negotiate and close sales, consistently exceeding targets
- Collaborate with Procurement and Warehouse teams to align supply with demand
- Provide tailored solutions that meet client needs

Note: This is not a work-from-home role and may require occasional weekend phone availability.

**About You**

You’re a confident communicator with a passion for building strong client relationships. You thrive in a target-driven environment and bring a proactive, solutions-focused mindset.

You’ll Bring:

- Proven sales experience, ideally in food service or hospitality
- Strong communication and negotiation skills
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office; Salesforce experience is a bonus
- A self-motivated, independent work ethic
- A tertiary qualification (preferred)
- Knowledge of the food service industry (advantageous)

**What We Offer**
- Competitive base salary + performance-based incentives
- Career development in a fast-growing, forward-thinking organisation
- Supportive, inclusive team culture
- Opportunities to make a real impact

**Working with Us**

Our values—creativity, resilience, inclusivity, collaboration, work ethic, and humility—are at the heart of everything we do. We celebrate the diversity of Aotearoa and are committed to creating a workplace where everyone can thrive and be their authentic selves.

**How to Apply**

If you’re a motivated, results-driven professional with a passion for the food service industry, we’d love to hear from you.

Please note: Applications will only be accepted through our online portal.
