General Manager ANZ  Consumer Hardware 

About Our Client
Our client is a well-established consumer hardware business with a strong market presence across Australia and New Zealand. The company manufactures and distributes a range of branded products sold through major hardware retail channels — including Bunnings and Mitre 10 — as well as through commercial and B2B channels.
With a trusted brand portfolio, proprietary product capability and a leadership team committed to growth, the business is entering an exciting new phase — focused on deepening customer relationships, broadening its solutions offering and strengthening its position across both retail and commercial markets.
 

The Opportunity
Reporting to a global CEO, the General Manager holds full P&L accountability for the company's largest and most established region. This is a significant leadership role with scope to shape both commercial strategy and organisational culture across a dual retail and commercial business.

Key accountabilities include:
  • Delivering profitable growth across retail (Bunnings, Mitre 10 and related hardware channels) and commercial B2B portfolios
  • Leading a high-performing ANZ leadership team with a focus on capability, culture and engagement
  • Translating strategic priorities into clear execution plans with measurable commercial outcomes
  • Strengthening retailer and commercial partner relationships to protect and grow market-leading brand positions
  • Driving a shift toward a more customer-led, solutions-oriented business model
  • Representing the ANZ business effectively within the broader Group leadership structure
 
 
The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for a commercially astute and people-focused leader with a track record of driving growth through major hardware retail channels and/or commercial B2B markets. You will be equally comfortable setting strategy and rolling up your sleeves — someone who leads with integrity and brings genuine energy to building teams and customer relationships.

You will bring:
  • Senior general management or P&L leadership experience within consumer hardware, building products, outdoor living or a closely related category
  • Demonstrated success selling through major hardware retail channels including Bunnings and/or Mitre 10
  • Experience managing commercial and B2B customer relationships alongside a retail portfolio
  • A track record of building and leading high-performing teams through periods of growth and change
  • Strong commercial acumen with hands-on experience managing revenue, margin and cost
  • A collaborative, values-led leadership style with the credibility to influence at both operational and executive levels
 
 
Why This Role
This is a genuinely compelling opportunity for an experienced general manager to take ownership of a well-resourced, market-leading business at an important point in its growth story. The role offers real scope to make a commercial and cultural impact — leading a capable team, working with strong brands and shaping the next chapter of an already successful business.
