Senior IT Project Manager - Infrastructure

Ko wai mātou – About us   


Kia ora.  We’re Foodies.  You know New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square right? That’s us!


With 300+ stores and over 24,000 Foodies across Te Ika-a-Maui, our North Island Co-op has the privilege of helping New Zealanders get more out of life.  Locally owned, we reflect the communities we serve, and we celebrate our people - our taonga, every day for being uniquely them. 


Our Support Centre is 1,000+ people strong, which includes 300+ IT employees, who all play a vital role in ensuring the cogs of our Co-op stay turning and our systems stay ‘byte’-sized and ‘bug’-free.”


Te Tūranga – About the role   


Are you ready to lead impactful IT infrastructure projects at one of Aotearoa’s most iconic organisations? At Foodies, we’re on a mission to deliver world-class tech solutions across our stores, distribution centres, and beyond — and we’re looking for a Senior Project Manager who thrives in a dynamic, people-first environment. If you believe in creating awesome team cultures, moving fast to deliver real value, and having a bit of fun along the way, this could be your next big move.

 

Based in Mangere (with flexible hybrid working), you'll lead a diverse portfolio of infrastructure-focused projects — from WiFi and networking to cloud migrations, security enhancements, CCTV, server builds, and in-store and supply chain tech like RFID and voice devices. You’ll also contribute to our project management guild, helping evolve delivery practices and enabling self-organising teams to do their best work.

 

You’ll be responsible for:

-          Driving end-to-end delivery of IT infrastructure projects including networking, cloud/on-premise systems, server refreshes, and end-user computing

-          Bringing structure and agility to mixed-methodology environments (Agile, Waterfall, Hybrid)

-          Supporting implementation of infrastructure upgrades across hardware, software, and security domains

-          Partnering with architects to turn technical designs into business-aligned project outcomes

-          Coaching teams, shaping culture, and building delivery capability across the business

 

Ngā painga - What we offer 


We’re committed to providing awesome experiences for our people, including offering a range of benefits: 

-          Free carparking -we’ve got over 1,000 carparks including 36 free EV plugs 

-          Southern Cross health insurance, Foodies superannuation scheme 

-          Onsite café with subsidised meals, mini mart, 5% discount at our retail stores 

-          Flexible working options, a day off on your birthday, long service leave

-          Inhouse learning and development programmes and courses, flu vaccinations, and social network groups (we call them Tribes). 



He kōrero mōu - About you

 

You're an experienced Senior Project Manager who knows that successful delivery is about more than just timelines and budgets — it’s about knitting together empowered teams to deliver the right outcomes with the right quality.


You’re confident navigating both Agile and traditional delivery models, thrive on creating high-performing teams, and bring a calm, solutions-focused mindset to everything you do. You've got the qualifications (like PMI, PRINCE2, SAFe, CSM, or PSM), a track record of delivering complex infrastructure projects, and the ability to translate tech speak into business outcomes — with a good laugh along the way.


To thrive in this role, you’ll bring:

-          At least 5 years’ experience leading large-scale infrastructure and/or software projects

-          A solid grasp of infrastructure architecture and how it supports business goals

-          Proven delivery across networking (WiFi, Exchange, NiFi), cloud and on-prem systems, security (including CCTV), server builds/refreshes, end-user computing, and in-store and supply chain technologies (like RFID and voice devices)

-          Confidence in managing project financials (Capex and Opex), and guiding projects through the right levels of governance

-          Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to influence, coach, and bring clarity to complexity — plus a great sense of humour to keep things human

 

You’ll thrive here if you love variety, value collaboration, and enjoy creating environments where people can do their best work — and have some fun along the way.     

 

If you’re excited about delivering meaningful infrastructure projects, shaping team culture, and being part of a supportive, forward-thinking organisation, we’d love to hear from you.

 

Experience awesome. Achieve Awesome. Be awesomely you.  


We’re proud to have a focus on Diversity & Inclusion here at Foodies and welcome courageous behaviour, encourage togetherness, inspire our people to be their best selves in our Foodies whānau. 


We encourage you to apply with all your awesomeness and welcome your diverse background, including any disability, additional health and mental health needs, and/or neurodiversity.
