It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing!
Pick n Pay is embarking on an exciting new chapter in retail, driven by our Fresh strategy—a bold commitment to elevating quality, innovation, and customer experience across our fresh food offering. Central to this transformation is our partnership with Prue Leith, renowned chef, author, and culinary thought leader. Together, we are redefining what “fresh” means for our customers, combining Pick n Pay’s trusted retail presence with Prue Leith’s expertise in food excellence.
As part of this journey, the Bakery Manager will play a pivotal part in bringing the Fresh strategy to life—ensuring that every product, process, and customer interaction reflects the highest standards of taste, sustainability, and innovation. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a partnership that is reshaping the future of food retail in South Africa.
