Ziwi is hiring their new Commercial Director! Know the qualities they are looking for & tell us why you're the perfect candidate for this role.

Video Transcript

Ziwi is New Zealand's largest manufacturer of premium pet food. Started the business back in 2002 as a very small entrepreneurial business, it was all based around the vision that the right food for cats and dogs was what they ate in the wild, and that was a very natural diet.

So now we are, around the world, the ones that they look to if you want air-dried pet nutrition. The real exciting part about it is the innovation we'll be bringing to Ziwi over the next three years, and Napier is going to be the forefront of that. 12,000 square meters of nothing but a custom kitchen, where we will be able to produce new products that have never been seen in the pet section before.

There’s also a commercial role that will be based up here in the Parnell office and its function will be primarily around the sales and marketing of Ziwi. We're a 96% export business, so that role itself has to have a lot of experience around international business. I'm looking again for glue, for someone to actually pull the team together and to execute on the vision that we put together as a senior leadership team.

So it's all about culture. We have a very, very strong culture within Ziwi. We're not looking for a disruptor, we're looking for someone that can blend in and add to the team. 400 to 500 million is where we've set our sights. It's a 300% growth from where we are today, and I really believe we can make that in the next three to five years with the right people.
