National Account Manager – Independents

Every fridge tells a story. This one is ours – and it's getting bigger.

Chobani Australia was formed in 2011 following the acquisition of Gippsland Dairy, alongside the Chobani brand. Guided by our belief that food can be a force for good – and our purpose, Good Food For All – we make Chobani and Gippsland Dairy yoghurt in Dandenong South, focusing on food that's delicious, nutritious, natural and accessible.

We're building the next chapter of growth – investing in major site upgrades and new capability to meet demand and deliver on our aspiration: in every fridge, everywhere, every day.

Chobani is a place for people who like pace and ownership. We keep standards high, back people to stretch, and hire for attitude. If you set goals, deliver, learn fast and keep raising the bar, you'll feel right at home here.

The Opportunity

Independent Grocery has quickly become one of Chobani's most significant growth channels.

Over the past 15 months, our partnership with Metcash has created access to thousands of independent grocery stores across Australia and is positioning us for the next phase of growth.

As National Account Manager - Independents, you'll lead our Metcash partnership and play a key role in shaping how our brands show up across the Independent Grocery network. You'll own customer strategy, drive commercial performance and work across Sales, Supply Chain, Marketing and our field teams to turn plans into results.

This is a role that requires both strategic thinking and hands on execution. One day you may be leading a Joint Business Planning discussion or range review with senior customer stakeholders. The next, you'll be analysing promotional performance, reviewing forecasts, solving operational challenges or aligning State Account Managers and merchandising partners behind a national plan.

For someone who thrives on ownership, enjoys building strong customer partnerships and wants to have a genuine impact in a fast growing business, this is an opportunity to help shape the future of Independent Grocery at Chobani.

Your Experience

We're looking for someone who can step into the role with credibility and confidence from day one.

You'll bring direct Metcash experience, along with a strong understanding of the Independent Grocery landscape and proven success managing customer relationships at a senior level. Experience leading Joint Business Plans, promotional programs, range reviews, forecasting and commercial performance is essential.

You'll bring proven experience leading customer plans, range reviews, promotional programs, forecasting and commercial performance, together with a strong understanding of the independent grocery landscape.

We're looking for someone who can:
• Build trusted relationships and influence customer decisions
• Use data, insights and commercial analysis to drive growth
• Balance strategic thinking with disciplined execution
• Navigate challenging commercial conversations with confidence
• Align stakeholders behind a common direction without relying on formal authority
• Thrive in a fast-paced, growing environment where ownership matters

Most importantly, you'll be commercially minded, practical and resilient. You'll enjoy accountability, move quickly when required and take pride in delivering results.
