Graduate Programme
WELCOME TO THE NZ KRAFT HEINZ WATTIE’S CORPORATE GRADUATE PROGRAMME
This programme will be split into an Induction and 2 Rotations. Both technical and corporate graduates will join together for 4-weeks of cross-functional learning across ANZ sites. From there the Corporate Grads will be located at KH NZ Head Office and undergo 2 rotations within our Corporate and Commerical functions.
INDUCTION
During your first week induction, you will be introduced to each division in Kraft Heinz NZ, working alongside your ANZ graduate peers (both technical and corporate) to complete a range of onboarding case studies to get to know the business. 2020 induction was held in Melbourne, Freshwater Place, with plans to have 2021 programme induction also here.

You will then return to Auckland to spend the next 2-weeks back at the Head Office and on the frontline, heading in-store with our Territory Managers. You will be exposed to our Marketing, Finance and Category Development teams, whilst also getting the opportunity to see the Field team negotiate with Customer (supermarket) buyers.
Hastings On-site
