Branch Manager

Lead the people. Grow the market. Drive the business.

This is a significant commercial leadership opportunity for a proven manager who knows how to build a strong sales culture, develop people and drive business performance.

Fluid Recruitment is partnering with a market-leading organisation operating across the agriculture, construction and forestry sectors to appoint a Branch Manager responsible for its Rotorua operation and Te Puke satellite branch.

You'll lead an established team of approximately 42 people across both locations, with responsibility spanning sales, service, parts and administration. Representing one of the world's leading equipment brands, you'll have the platform, resources and market presence to make a genuine commercial impact.

The opportunity

This role needs a leader who is visible in the business and the market.

You'll work closely with your sales team, build relationships with key customers and identify opportunities to grow revenue and market share. Just as importantly, you'll develop your management team, create clear expectations and ensure sales, service and parts work together as one successful operation.

You'll be responsible for:

• Leading and developing a team of approximately 42
• Driving sales performance, revenue and market share
• Coaching salespeople and lifting commercial capability
• Full branch P&L and financial performance
• Building relationships with key regional customers
• Developing and executing growth strategies
• Creating accountability and a high-performance culture
• Aligning sales, service and parts around the customer
• Driving operational performance and continuous improvement
• Maintaining strong health, safety and wellbeing standards

About you

You may already be running a significant branch or regional operation, or you could be an accomplished sales leader ready to take broader ownership of a business.

Either way, you'll be someone who enjoys being close to the action. You'll understand your numbers, know your customers and get genuine satisfaction from helping good people perform at their best.

You'll bring:

• Proven people leadership and team development capability
• Strong sales leadership and commercial experience
• Sound financial acumen and understanding of P&L
• A track record of growing revenue and customer relationships
• The ability to coach, challenge and motivate a sales team
• Strong operational judgement and accountability
• Credibility with commercially minded customers

Experience within agriculture, heavy equipment, construction, forestry, rural services or another aligned sector would be highly regarded.

More important than having followed one particular career path is your ability to lead people, understand customers and drive profitable growth.

What's on offer?

• $100,000 base salary
• Uncapped incentive structure, with realistic OTE of $150,000-$160,000+ (sky is the limit!)
• Company vehicle
• Leadership of a substantial regional operation
• Strong established team and corporate support
• Genuine autonomy to influence performance and growth
• Long-term career opportunities within a successful global organisation

For the right person, this is an opportunity to take ownership of an established business, build on its strengths and put your stamp on its next phase of growth.
