General Manager

Description:

This is a rare opportunity with a business looking for a leader rather than a problem solver. This client does not have gaps in their business, they are not looking for a saviour, this is an opportunity to embed yourself in a measured and accountable business that is scalable and could easily regionalise to deliver the same first class service in completely new markets.

On taking ownership of this role, you will develop and review the Company's business plan, client development activities, marketing opportunities and competitor strategies. You will undertake organisational planning and leadership by setting and implementing the strategic direction and priorities, as well as lead the development and implementation of the strategic business objectives. You will ensure this is all done in line with the agreed business direction. In coming to understand the business, its owners and it's unique market position, you will capitalise on the current success and drive ongoing strategic improvements and growth.

You will have demonstrated success, implementing and evaluating strategic plans while leading and managing an organisation. You will have excellent leadership skills and the ability to communicate a clear and measured direction for the business with accountability for yourself and those under your direct management. This is a hands-on role that will require you to be in office and leading from the front. You will lead a team of highly experienced professionals including the Commercial Manager, Factory Manager, Finance Manager, Op's Manager, Systems Manager and Sales Team.
