Branch Management - Trade Wholesale

The dust has settled on a relaxing and enjoyable Christmas and New Year with friends and family, though your next block of leave already looking like it's an eternity away. You're a experienced manager who's built a high performing team and have been hitting your sales targets which has equated to year on year growth...but somehow it's never enough! You promised yourself you'd see things through to Christmas and maybe a fresh start in the new year will make your concerns and pressures disappear, otherwise, you'll start to look for a new role. 

Whilst this might not be exactly resonate with your personal situation, it's one reason why so many people change jobs at this time of year. What's yours? 

If nothing has changed by now, it won't, I'm sorry to say, it will only get worse. Industry is feeling the pinch of a volatile economy off the back of a surprisingly buoyant few years, against the odds, which has created downward pressure on budgets and sales targets. How this has been managed by your employer will have a profound impact on your confidence and ability to deliver results. If you're here and considering a new role, do yourself a favour and explore opportunities that are a better fit for you, something you'll enjoy, with an employer who will value your expertise. 

We partner with Trade Wholesalers who have a strong history in the distribution of specialised parts and tools who have successfully navigated the highs and lows of the national and global economy. Right now, we're looking for high quality hires for a number of appointments to bolster their team, across their corporate arm and branches. Here's one that might interest you: 

Branch Manager

A privately owned Trade Wholesaler has a global reputation as a provider of choice for HVAC, electrical and solar related products. Serving trades, mining operations, contractors and construction companies, as well as mum and dad renovators, they have international buying power to partner with leading brands to their customers. Branches in almost every pocket of metropolitan and a large part of regional Australia ensures no customer needs go wanting. For this reason, we're looking to source only the highest quality Branch Managers or managers in waiting (i.e. capable 2IC or Assistant Manager) to further transform an already successful branch on Brisbane's southside. 

While you will not need to hold direct experience in the fields listed above, your leadership skills and experience from a comparable wholesaler will be highly valued, alongside your ability to work to a budget, engage customers, increase sales, strategise and build and lead a successful team. You might be working in the automotive parts sector, plumbing supplies, big box homewares, or similar, looking for a new challenge, something this employer can provide.

In return, you'll be gifted one of the best performing branches in the region, which also has a strong record in recent quarters against an economic headwind. You'll enjoy autonomy, but be provided with operational support, as well as aligned sales structure and product/project teams whose experience you can leverage to further support your customer base. You will manage day to day operations, responsible for a team of up to four, working primarily Monday to Friday, with only the occasional part-time weekend. All up, you will be benefiting from a proven and stable employer in what could become a relatively turbulent time for those without the same footprint.  

Does this sound like you? Maybe it doesn't, that's okay, as we're also on the lookout for the following other roles in various locations nationally: 

- State/Regional Management
- Territory Sales Manager
- Assistant Manager
- Internal Sales
