Te Tūranga – About the role

We have a 12 month fixed term opportunity for a Senior Media Planner within Precision Media. In this role, you’ll play a key role in growing supplier partnerships and driving media revenue across the New World and PAK’nSAVE retail network.

Reporting to the Sales and Client Partnerships Manager, you’ll own a portfolio of high-profile FMCG brands across key categories, leading the development of insight-led, commercially strong media strategies that deliver real business outcomes.

Alongside this, you’ll take ownership of revenue performance across your portfolio, identifying growth opportunities and supporting pipeline and conversion.

Working with a passionate and experienced retail media team, you’ll collaborate closely with planners, analysts, campaign managers, and wider Foodstuffs teams to deliver integrated campaigns that create meaningful customer experiences and measurable commercial impact.
