This is a fast-paced, high-volume environment where strong leadership, commercial thinking, and a genuine understanding of the trade/customer mindset are essential.

What’s in it for you

  • Competitive salary with regular performance-based reviews
  • Team incentives when the branch hits and exceeds targets
  • Staff discounts across a wide range of trade tools and products
  • Career development with ongoing training and clear progression pathways
  • Job security within a strong, 100% Australian-owned business with national reach

The Role
You will take ownership of overall branch performance, including:

  • Driving Sales Growth – Leading sales activity and identifying new trade and business opportunities in the local market
  • Team Leadership – Building, coaching, and developing a high-performing team culture
  • Account Management – Strengthening relationships with key trade customers to drive repeat business and loyalty
  • Operational Excellence – Managing stock levels, merchandising standards, and day-to-day store operations to ensure a seamless customer experience

What you’ll bring

  • Leadership experience in retail, trade, or high-volume environments, with proven team development capability
  • Strong sales capability with a consistent record of achieving and exceeding KPIs and targets
  • Operational understanding including stock control, inventory management, and retail presentation standards
  • Commercial mindset with the ability to identify opportunities and convert them into long-term business
  • Flexibility to work within a 7-day trading environment, including one weekend day as required
