Regional operations and logistics
Route coordination, dispatch windows, storage handoffs, route records, and practical coordination across regions.
Careers
The routes are real. The people matter. The evidence has to hold.
We hire people who can work between practical detail and public promise: route timing, producer trust, buyer context, data, proof, staff care, and the working middle where plans become action.
Working here
Aotea Kai is not a quiet desk-only company.
Some roles sit in offices. Some sit in warehouses, producer sites, cold rooms, vehicles, public meetings, buyer calls, and spreadsheets that have to be right because someone else will carry the result. We value people who can be practical, commercially sharp, values-led, and specific about the work in front of them.
People and culture
Work here moves between the map and the person carrying the next step.
We hire for judgement in practical settings: the ability to notice when a route, promise, product, or team needs clearer pacing before a busy period becomes harder to coordinate.
Open people and culture snapshotProducer partnerships
Readiness conversations, capability support, pathway review, relationship listening, and helping producers carry growth safely.
Market and category development
Buyer fit, channel discipline, category knowledge, allocation, market feedback, and demand selection.
Quality, proof, and impact
Evidence records, claims discipline, testing pathways, reporting, sustainability practice, and public trust.
Systems, data, and finance
Traceability, route data, financial models, scenario testing, governance support, and readiness reporting.
People and coordination
Staff support, team communication, admin systems, hiring, training, and making sure growth is carried clearly across teams.
What we ask
Good work here needs judgement.
Can you pace a decision when the evidence needs more work?
Can you make a route need visible while the detail is still close?
Can you hold commercial urgency without treating people as inputs?
Can you choose carefully when a good-looking opportunity needs a better fit?
People who enjoy connected work do well here.
A route question can connect with producer support, finance, values, and public trust in the same afternoon. We need people who can work across those boundaries without losing the detail.
We value practical clarity.
We would rather hear early that a route needs strengthening, a claim needs more evidence, or a producer needs clearer pacing. The company gets better when people name readiness while there is still time to act.
Growth creates opportunity and responsibility.
Aotea Kai is large enough to offer serious roles and small enough that decisions still land visibly. That can be rewarding and demanding, and we try to be clear about both.
