Retail Manager Roles Across NZ - Expressions of Interest

Posted: 04/11/2026

Closing Date: 08/12/2026

Job Type: Permanent - Full Time

Job Category: Retail

Aotearoa, we’re looking for leaders who grow people, not just numbers.

LSKD is growing around the world, and we’re growing right here in New Zealand. To keep that momentum going, we’re opening expressions of interest for retail leadership roles across the country.

We want to make some future friends now. That way, when the right role opens up, we can Move Fast and Break Sh*t, with leaders who are ready to generate culture before Day 1.

We believe that if we get the people right, performance and profit will follow. So we aren’t looking for someone who can just hit a sales target. We want leaders who build and inspire people. You grow your team, you create a culture people want to be part of, and you bring our values to life on the floor every day.

To you, leading is something you get to do, not something you have to do. When things get frustrating, you see a chance to take ownership. You’re in the real conversation: you give honest feedback, you welcome it back, and you make sure everyone wins.

If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you.

Job Description

How you’ll make moves

• Inspire your team:Set the energy from the first huddle to close. You’ll run daily game plans that give your team purpose, focus, and a reason to show up as their best.
• Develop people for real:Coach in the moment, run regular feedback and development sessions for your team, and build growth plans that turn Educators into Store Leaders. Your success is measured by who you grow.
• Generate culture:Make our values something your team lives, not a poster on the wall. Celebrate the wins, call out what matters, and build a team that backs each other.
• Be in the real conversation:Give feedback that’s honest, kind, and timely, and ask for it in return. Tough conversations don’t scare you, because you know they’re how everyone gets better.
• Own it:When something isn’t working, you don’t wait for someone else to fix it. You take ownership, find the solution, and bring the team with you.
• Deliver operational excellence:Run a premium floor, sharp visual merchandising, and an organised, accountable back-of-house. Build smart rosters that match trade and hit your wage targets.
• Know your numbers:Track daily KPIs, read your P&L, and use the data to coach your team. Performance should come from the team’s growth, not in spite of it.
• Create a Community:Take LSKD beyond the four walls through local activations, sweat sessions, and real relationships with your local fitness community.

Desired Skills and Experience

Benefits and perks

• Be part of a founder-led brand growing globally, with real momentum in NZ

So what do you need to get the gig?

• The Ideal Team Player:You’re hungry, humble, and smart.
• Proven people leader:You’ve led teams in retail, hospitality, fitness, or another customer-facing space, and you can give real examples of how you developed people and built culture.
• Coach at heart:You get genuine energy from watching someone in your team level up.
• Feedback champion:You give it, you ask for it, and you know it’s how great teams are built.
• Ownership mindset:You see challenges as opportunities. “Get to,” not “have to.”
• Operationally sharp:You run a tight ship and keep standards high without losing the culture and values.
• Everyday Athlete:However you like to sweat, health and movement are part of who you are.
