About the Opportunity
This is a senior leadership opportunity within a privately owned New Zealand group, overseeing a division that designs, manufactures, and delivers products that enhance outdoor living spaces across residential and commercial settings.

- Strong commercial and financial acumen, with demonstrated ownership of P&L, budgeting, and forecasting
- Experience operating within manufacturing, construction, building products, or similar environments, ideally with exposure to multi-site or multi-brand models
- Ability to lead sales growth and improve commercial outcomes, including strengthening sales capability and conversion performance
- Hands-on, pragmatic leadership style with the ability to drive operational efficiency, lead change, and build a high-performance, accountable culture
What’s on Offer
- Opportunity to lead a business through a pivotal phase of transformation, integration, and growth, with full ownership of performance and outcomes
- Broad, end-to-end leadership role with exposure across strategy, operations, sales, marketing, and finance within a dynamic, multi-entity environment
- Direct partnership with an engaged Group CEO and Board, with the ability to influence direction and shape the future of the division
