The team you'll join

This is a role for someone who wants to be part of a business built on grit, belief and momentum. Ten years ago the founder started with nothing but drive, long days and a mission to build a business that changed lives. Now a multi million dollar business, that spirit still defines the team today. They give one hundred and ten percent to their work, they back each other and they are united by a clear vision for the future.

The Role

After years of year on year double digit growth, the organisation is gearing up to double down on those numbers again. The South Island is a major part of that plan and this role is being hired to lead that next surge of performance across the region.

You will run the South Island, lead Branch Managers, drive sales activity, lift performance and build a culture that feels alive. This is a fast paced, high performance environment where people move quickly, stay focused and care deeply about what they are building. If you want a corporate operations job, this is not it. If you want to lead a driven, competitive and values based team, you will thrive here.

Responsibilities

• Lead and grow the South Island region
• Coach and develop Branch Managers
• Drive daily sales activity and client engagement
• Build culture and team alignment
• Deliver strong commercial outcomes with full P and L accountability
• Support hiring and talent development
• Ensure operational excellence across recruitment, onboarding, compliance and safety
• Maintain a strong presence across branches and client sites

About you

You bring energy, hunger and resilience, but you also bring experience. You have led sales teams, regional operations or a general management function in a fast paced environment. You understand commercial levers, you know how to grow revenue and margin, and you are confident owning a P and L. You thrive in founder led businesses where decisions are fast, expectations are high and culture is everything. You inspire through your leadership and you know how to lift standards, build alignment and bring people with you. You connect naturally with high performance teams, especially those built on sporting backgrounds, competitiveness and strong values.

You want to be part of a business that is still growing fast, still building and still driven by the values it started with.

Whats in it for you?

Aside from working with one of the most exciting teams I've recruited for?

• Competitive base salary
• Company car
• Significant bonus structure
• National and trans Tasman growth opportunities
• A high energy team with a clear mission and huge ambition
