Regional Growth Manager

Role Overview

This is a leadership role for someone who enjoys developing business relationships, spotting commercial opportunities, and helping a region grow. The position suits a confident, hands-on manager who wants to remain active in the market while also guiding a small team.

About 70% of the role is focused on strengthening existing client partnerships, winning new business, and creating strategic alliances. The other 30% involves supporting a compact, high-performing team and helping maintain strong service standards.

The role offers a good level of independence, personal accountability, and the chance to make a visible impact in the Auckland market.

About the Employer

The business is built around two core principles: valuing people and valuing relationships. Service quality and strong human connections are central to how the company operates.

What You Will Do

• Take ownership of growth across the Auckland region, with responsibility for revenue generation and market development.
• Create and deliver regional plans aimed at expanding business performance.

• Enjoy a high degree of trust and autonomy.
