Company

For 81 years, we've achieved success through our ability to innovate, placing a clear emphasis on how we best serve our customers’ needs. As demand continues to grow, we have expanded rapidly, now delivering a superior range of dry goods, frozen and chilled products, fresh seafood and meat, confectionery, paper products, and cleaning solutions.

In recent years, we’ve seen significant growth and invested in our systems and processes, building a close partnership with Woolworths Group that has continued to deliver high-quality service for our customers and suppliers.

In 2024, Woolworths moved to a 100% interest in the PFD business, bringing PFD exciting opportunities as a strategic part of the Group. Sharing expertise across both teams will ensure our continued success and drive further growth and unlock our collective potential.

About this Position

At PFD Food Services, we bring people together through food and behind every great branch is a leader who brings people together through purpose, performance, and genuine connection.

As our Branch Manager, you’ll lead the day-to-day operations, sales, and administration of one of PFD’s key branches. This hands‑on leadership role focuses on driving sales growth, optimising operations, and delivering the quality and care we’re known for.

You’ll lead a team of four across Administration, Sales, Operations, and Stock Control. You will be fostering collaboration, accountability, and pride in what you achieve together.

With the site preparing for major expansion and a new shed opening, you’ll have the opportunity to shape its next chapter, driving commercial performance, uplifting culture, and embedding best‑practice operations.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead and manage daily branch operations across sales, warehouse, and admin functions.
  • Deliver on budgeted EBIT through disciplined financial management, operational efficiency, and sales growth.
  • Develop and implement local strategies to drive profitability and customer retention.
  • Monitor and control operating costs, ensuring stock, fleet, and staffing efficiencies are maintained.
  • Analyse branch P&L, KPIs, and other performance data to identify improvement opportunities.
  • Champion a high-performance, safety-first culture that values respect, teamwork, and accountability.
  • Drive COR, HACCP, and WHS compliance, ensuring all legislative and food safety requirements are met.
  • Build and nurture strong customer and supplier relationships to support branch success.
  • Lead, coach, and develop staff to ensure capability, engagement, and retention.
  • Collaborate closely with State and National leadership to deliver operational excellence and consistency.
What We’re Looking For

To thrive in this role, you will bring:

  • Proven leadership experience managing diverse, operationally complex teams within a multi-faceted, fast‑paced environment.
  • Strong financial and commercial acumen, with the ability to interpret and act on P&L performance to drive profitability.
  • Experience driving sales growth and margin performance within FMCG, logistics, or similar service‑driven industries.
  • Exceptional people leadership, with the confidence to guide, coach, and resolve challenges across both long-standing employees and newer team members.
  • A deep commitment to safety, food quality, and Chain of Responsibility (CoR), ensuring compliance and wellbeing are at the heart of everything you do.
  • Natural resilience, initiative, and a solutions-focused mindset - someone who gets things done!
  • Strong stakeholder management skills across customers, suppliers, and internal teams.
  • A continuous improvement lens and a genuine desire to create a safe, inclusive, high-performing culture where people thrive and deliver their best.
