As a Technology Risk & Governance Analyst, you’ll play a pivotal role in safeguarding our digital future helping ensure Foodstuffs South Island continues to serve communities with confidence and resilience. You’ll work at the intersection of technology, risk, and governance, collaborating with talented teams and external partners to spot risks early and champion practical, business-friendly solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

Ideally, you bring:

• A strong understanding of technology infrastructure, systems, and operational delivery
