  • Lead retail operations for one of NZ's most iconic designer fashion houses

  • Split your week between store floor and head office strategy

We’re seeking a Retail Business Manager to lead their retail team from the front. Splitting your time between the Auckland stores and head office, you'll support the Retail Managers day-to-day, drive sell-through across stores, and be the vital link between retail, production, marketing and e-commerce — ensuring every client touchpoint feels seamless and every store reflects the brand at its very best.

  • Driving sales and building genuine relationships with a high-end client base

  • Championing a positive, solutions-focused retail culture with open, two-way feedback

  • Working closely with e-commerce and wholesale to uphold a consistent, on-brand client experience

  • Communicating production deliveries and marketing activity to the retail team

  • Being the voice of retail — bringing ideas and feedback back into the business

  • Monitoring stock levels, holds and allocations to keep availability on point

  • Ensuring stores are immaculately presented, with windows and mannequins refreshed regularly

  • Supporting recruitment, training and team development across the stores

What you'll bring

  • Proven leadership experience in high-end or designer fashion retail

  • A natural ability to inspire, coach and bring out the best in a team

  • Confidence liaising across retail, production, marketing and head office

  • A sharp eye for visual merchandising and brand presentation

  • Strong organisational skills with the flexibility to move between store and office

  • A love of considered design and quality fabrication

What's on offer
