Joining Nestlé means you are joining the largest food and beverage company in the world. At our very core, we are a human environment – passionate people driven by the purpose of enhancing the quality of life and contributing to a healthier future. This role sits within the Nestlé Professional New Zealand team, where we deliver a comprehensive product range across Culinary Foodservice solutions and Coffee categories, including Soluble, Liquid and Roast & Ground. Leading brands include Maggi, Buitoni, Docello, Nescafé, Buondi and Milo.

We’re looking for a commercially sharp, opportunity‑led Business Development Manager – NZ reporting directly to the Country Manager of Nestlé Professional NZ. This is a national role with accountability for shaping and executing the NZ business development strategy, building high‑value customer partnerships and unlocking new growth opportunities across foodservice channels.

This is not a role for someone who simply maintains the status quo. It’s about finding the white space, opening new doors and creating growth — whether through new customers, new channels, new solutions or new ways of partnering. You’ll work closely with cross‑functional teams locally and regionally to turn ideas into action and strengthen Nestlé Professional’s leadership position in the NZ market. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on influence, complexity and winning through collaboration.

No two days look the same — and that’s exactly how you like it.

You will have the chance to work with an outstanding and highly engaged team, build and grow your career with an inclusive, global FMCG leader.

In addition, we offer:

Nestlé enjoys a reputation as one of the world’s largest FMCG companies and a leader in nutrition, health and wellness. Our inclusive and high-performance culture is a testament to the great training, development, rewards and recognition we extend to every member of our 5000-strong Oceania workforce.

At Nestlé, you will work in a supportive environment where your ideas and points of view will be championed by a collaborative team. Together, we will drive the strength of our brands, the quality of our products, and the future of our business
