Branch Manager
Kapiti Coast
Reference: BM37
Looking for a job that’s a real catch?
Since 1882, Burnsco has been supplying New Zealanders with all things boating, fishing, and motorhome. With 18, soon to be 19 retail stores nationwide, and growing, there are always opportunities for development!
We are opening a brand-new store in Kapiti Coast!
We’re fishing for a confident, self-motivated Branch Manager with strong retail experience to lead our new store. This role will take part in the inner workings of launching a new store, including store fit out, onboarding of the new team, and the grand opening. This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of Kapiti's story and leave your mark right from the beginning!
This role is full time, and the proposed start date would be early August, at which time there may be travel required for training.
The position of Branch Manager offers the best of both worlds – you will have the opportunity to manage a significant business unit (including doing your own stock ordering and rostering your staff), but also represent a premier brand and have the support of a knowledgeable and supportive Regional Manager and Support Office.
