When you join DB Breweries and HEINEKEN, you become part of a global team where we value and recognise contribution not only to the bottom line, but to our culture and ways of working. It’s a place where your ideas are welcome, continuous improvement is encouraged, and great relationships across the business and our customers will reap rewards. We have a strong culture of developing our people and provide opportunities for our team to advance their careers locally or internationally.

As the Woolworths NZ **Key Account Executive**, your job will be to support DB’s WW Business Manager in the day to day running of the account which deals with our largest national retail partnerships between DB and Woolworths New Zealand. The account comprises of three banners in Countdown, Super Value and Fresh Choice supermarkets. Day to day, you’ll provide analytical and commercial support to this account to make sure the partnership balances the needs of both parties and achieves objectives in market share and profit. Not only will you be a crucial support team member to the Countdown account, you’ll also have ownership and accountability for the Super Value and Fresh Choice partnership. This is a great opportunity to develop your key account skill set while making a positive contribution to the Woolworths team. You’ll also contribute to the overall success of your own team through projects and initiatives that enable DB to navigate the ever-challenging economic landscape.

This role in particular has been a great place for a number of our more senior team members who were able to make a positive impact, deliver on objectives and develop their capability in order to take a career step with us. It’d suit someone who truly values relationships and enjoys adding value, so an experienced field salesperson might see this as a great chance to pivot. Equally, the experience of a category analyst would suit the analytical component, using their commercial lens to develop insights and spot opportunities. Regardless of your background, good Excel skills are required, and experience with Nielsen data would be helpful but isn’t essential. Likewise, FMCG or grocery experience would help you hit the ground running, but we’re open to industry background.

- Flexible start/finish times and the option to work from home up to two days each week.
- Health, life and income protection insurances.
