The Brand:
Christchurch-based consumer brand business with a reputation for doing things differently. They are a tight-knit, entrepreneurial team who live and breathe the brands they represent — a carefully curated portfolio of premium international outdoor, athletic, and lifestyle labels that people who love performance and adventure actually wear and trust. This is a business built on genuine passion for product, strong supplier partnerships, and a relentless focus on doing right by their brands and their retail partners.
We're looking for a genuine triple threat — someone who is equally at home closing a commercial deal, leading a marketing campaign, and interrogating a P&L. You'll sit at management level, report directly to the Directors, and have your own team around you covering sales, marketing, account management, and customer service.
