Kia Ora! Hello.

Welcome to Zespri

We want to help people, communities, and the environment around the world, thrive through the goodness of kiwifruit. Join us in shaping our future and be part of a truly unique organisation.

Who are we

Zespri is more than simply the world’s single-largest marketer of kiwifruit. We like to think of ourselves as fruit on a mission and as rebels with a cause: to help people, communities and the environment around the world thrive through the goodness of kiwifruit. We work with around 2,800 New Zealand and 1,500 international growers and post-harvest companies to source the best-quality Zespri Kiwifruit which we supply through our distribution partners to wholesale and retail customers. We are one of New Zealand’s best-known international brands, dedicated to creating sustainable long-term value for growers.

Our People

Our People are what makes our culture so irresistible and uniquely Zespri. We are a passionate and mighty team of 900+ employees in 22 different locations globally. We have a diverse workforce, from Demand Planner to Packaging Specialists, Fruit Inspector to Climate Change Business Partner. You name it, and we probably have a role for it! Working at Zespri is an opportunity to join a fastpaced, culture-driven environment unlike any other. We want people who share our values of being personally connected, results-driven, and committed to guardianship. Join us in shaping our future and be part of a truly unique organisation.

Working at Zespri

Zespri is a place to learn, develop and flourish. It’s not a place where people simply do the job because it’s a job. We offer empowering roles and scope to go above and beyond in what people can achieve. We support our people actively, from leadership development to skill development, from coaching to mentoring, from inclusive leaders to collaborative networks. It’s a place for talented people, where talent is nurtured and rewarded.
We look forward to working with you.

What do our people say about us?

I really enjoy working for Zespri because of the importance they place on wellbeing. Zespri places so much importance on the person and not just on the work the person does. Zespri has a strong culture of looking after each other, a very value-driven and diverse organization
