Gillies is Māori, and affiliates to Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Awa, Te Whanau-a-Apanui and Te Arawa iwi. She worked in the freezing works at Whakatu until they were closed in 1986, and then studied business administration at the Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT). She worked first in accounts, and later completed a National Certificate of Business Studies. Gillies went on to gain a Bachelor of Business Studies majoring in Accountancy from Massey University. She then managed the Te Pūmanawa Hauora Māori Health Research Programme at Massey. In 2006, Gillies completed a PhD titled Kia taupunga te ngā kau Māori: anchoring Māori health workforce potential at Massey University, supervised by Mason Durie. Gillies was Director of Te Au Rangahau, the Māori Business Research Centre at Massey, and lectured in the School of Management.

In 2020 Gillies took a role as Pouarahi Rārangi Kōrero (Māori Heritage Listing Advisor) at Heritage New Zealand, where she helped whānau, hapū and iwi to research and write up their histories. She retained this role on a part time basis when appointed as Professor of Rangahau Māori (Māori Research) at EIT. With David Tipene-Leach, she is co-director of the Māori research centre Te Kura i Awarua, at the Hawke’s Bay Campus of EIT.
