Our client is seeking a commercially astute and people-focused Regional Manager to lead a high-performing lab services operation. This role sits at senior leadership level and will play a critical part in operational performance, strategic growth, stakeholder engagement, workforce leadership, and service excellence across the region.

  • Full regional P&L accountability and financial oversight
  • Building strong relationships with Health NZ, hospitals, clinicians, and key healthcare stakeholders
  • Leading and developing senior operational leaders and multidisciplinary teams
  • Supporting strategic growth opportunities across both public and private healthcare sectors
  • Championing quality, safety, innovation, and organisational culture
What we are looking for:
  • Senior healthcare leadership experience with proven capability
  • Minimum 5 years management experience
  • Strong background in laboratory/science/pathology management specifically
  • Deep understanding of the community pathology sector
  • Exceptional stakeholder engagement and people leadership skills
  • Commercially minded with strong operational and financial capability
  • Relevant health-related and/or business qualifications highly regarded
Why this opportunity stands out:
  • Senior level healthcare leadership role
  • Excellent salary package on offer
  • Highly visible and influential position within a major healthcare organisation
  • Ability to shape regional healthcare service delivery
  • Opportunity to work alongside highly respected healthcare leaders nationally
  • Long-term career growth and strategic influence
Due to the nature of this appointment, all enquiries will be handled in strict confidence.
