Brand Manager

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.

What the role offers:

• $100k - $120k base salary plus company car
• Travel across New Zealand and Australia, plus international trips  including Europe
• High-autonomy leadership role with real commercial ownership
• Christchurch based within a dynamic, fast-paced team environment
• Opportunity to work with globally recognised performance and outdoor brands

What you'll be responsible for:

• Full end-to-end ownership of brand performance across your portfolio
• Developing and executing sales strategy across wholesale, retail, and ecommerce channels
• Leading marketing execution to ensure each brand shows up authentically in the market
• Inventory planning and forecasting to keep the business trading at its best
• Managing international supplier relationships and acting as the primary point of contact
• Driving commercial outcomes and P&L accountability across your brands
• Leading and developing your team across sales, marketing, account management, and customer service
• Travelling nationally across New Zealand and Australia to support retail partners and key accounts as well as Europe
