Are you passionate about food, service and building strong customer relationships? Join one of NZ’s leading wholesale providers and help grow national account partnerships in the Northland region.
About the Role
We're looking for an experienced and motivated Account Manager to manage a portfolio of key national customers operating within the Northland territory.
This is a hands-on, relationship-driven role where you’ll act as the go-to person for national account customers in the region. You’ll work closely with our local branch teams, suppliers, and other internal stakeholders to ensure exceptional service delivery, category development, and ongoing growth.
You’ll be part of a supportive national accounts team, but your primary focus will be managing accounts in your own backyard — helping Bidfood continue to be the preferred foodservice partner in Northland.

- Building strong commercial relationships and ensuring exceptional customer service
- Supporting the delivery of agreed service levels, pricing, and product ranges
- Working closely with branch operations and sales teams to coordinate seamless service
- Identifying new product and category opportunities to grow account value
- Using reporting and financial insights to track account performance and identify opportunities
- Presenting regular account reviews and driving continuous improvement
- Supporting local engagement strategies and helping branches build capability in servicing key customers
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in account management, territory sales, or business development (foodservice/FMCG a bonus)
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- Commercially minded, with a focus on value for both the customer and the business
- Organised, self-motivated, and confident working across different teams
- Knowledge of the local Northland market is a definite advantage
What’s in it for You?
- Company vehicle, phone & fantastic team support
- Staff purchasing privileges with access to great deals on our massive product range
- Work with a mix of Bidfood exclusive and well-known brands
- Ongoing training and development to help you grow your career
- The stability and opportunity of working with a market leader in NZ’s foodservice industry
