Deli Manager - PAK'nSAVE Rolleston
Opening October 2025
We’re getting ready to open the doors to our brand-new PAK’nSAVE in Rolleston – and we’re looking for a skilled & passionate Deli Manager and 2IC to lead our Deli team.
This is a rare opportunity to be part of something special from day one – helping shape a store that’s proudly committed to becoming the best low-cost supermarket in New Zealand, serving one of the country’s fastest-growing communities with great value and great service.
About the role: Deli Manager
As our Deli Manager, you’ll lead and shape a delicatessen that’s stacked with quality, care, and a generous serve of pride in every product. You’ll take the lead – planning the day, managing prep and presentation, and making sure our cabinets are stocked with fresh, appealing products that meet customer expectations.
In this role, you’ll:
- Coach your team through busy shifts while setting high standards for food safety, presentation, and service
- Create a positive, people-first environment where great food and great teamwork go hand in hand
- Manage stock, reduce waste, and make smart decisions to keep things running smoothly
- Build rosters and lead day-to-day operations to ensure the right people are in the right place at the right time
About the role: Deli 2IC
As our Deli 2IC, you’ll be the steady support behind the scenes – helping the team stay focused and stepping up when your Manager’s away. You’ll be across the detail, ready to jump in wherever needed to keep the deli running smoothly and the service sizzling.
In this role, you’ll:
- Step in to lead the team when needed, keeping momentum and morale strong
- Support daily operations with a calm, team-first approach that helps the deli stay productive and well-organised
Both roles will include working either a Saturday or Sunday shift and start dates will be staggered in the lead-up to our October opening. We’ll confirm hours & dates with successful applicants before offering a role.
What we're looking for:
We’re after experienced leaders who bring energy, structure and accountability to their teams – whether you’re stepping into the Manager role or backing them up as 2IC. Ideally, you’ll:
- Have proven experience in a similar department leadership or 2IC role (preferably in a supermarket or FMCG setting)
- Be confident managing staff, stock, suppliers and compliance requirements
- Know how to create a team culture built on trust, performance and service
- Be well-organised, approachable, and calm under pressure
- Understand the importance of food safety, stock control and customer expectations
Why join us?
- Help set up and grow a brand-new store from day one
- Be part of a leadership team focused on doing things right – for customers, teams and the wider community
- Join a trusted brand with the energy of a fresh new opening
- Work in a modern, purpose-built environment with room to grow
