About the Company
Strol is the dynamic consumer brand within the Cirtex Group, a respected New Zealand-owned company with over 40 years of innovation in engineered civil, environmental and geosynthetic solutions.
While Cirtex serves large-scale infrastructure and construction, Strol brings that same technical rigor to the home, lifestyle and landscaping market, offering durable, clever and beautifully designed outdoor products used by DIY homeowners, gardeners, landscapers and trades.
Strol’s products are stocked through major retailers including Bunnings and Mitre 10, and the brand is growing fast across New Zealand and Australia, with early traction in the US.
With a grounded, humble and people-first culture, Strol is a place where ownership is real, decisions are fast, and every person makes a visible impact. With a lean team and strong in-house manufacturing (already 50% local, moving toward 70%), Strol is in an exciting growth phase - and ready to invest in brand and marketing capability to scale.
With an office in Christchurch and Thames, this role will be based in Wiri.
