Retail State Manager
Job Description

Own state-level P&L across trade and retail. Lead company stores and independent partners. Sydney-based, statewide impact.
\n
Retail State Leader - Trade & Retail (NSW)
\n
Sydney-based Statewide Leadership Company & Partner Network
\n
-Own state-level P&L across a network blending company-operated sites and independent business partners - genuine multi-site leadership, not single-store management
\n
-A rare remit spanning both trade (B2B) and retail (B2C) customers - broader commercial scope than typical retail leadership
\n
-Join a long-established, nationally recognised Australian brand backed by a major corporate group - the stability and scale of a big player, without losing an entrepreneurial, partner-led culture
\n
About the Role
\n
Our client is a well-known Australian retail brand with a substantial footprint across NSW, operating through a mix of company-owned stores and independent business partners. They're seeking a Retail State Leader to take full commercial ownership of the state - sales, margin and operating profit - while leading a team of Store Managers and building strong, influence-based relationships with partner operators.
\n
This is a genuinely broad commercial role. You'll drive performance across both a retail (B2C) customer base and a growing trade (B2B) segment - exposure most single-channel retail leadership roles simply don't offer.
\n
About You
\n
-Proven experience leading multi-site retail or service networks at a state or regional level, with real P&L accountability
\n
-Comfortable leading through influence as well as direct authority - ideal if you've worked with franchisees, licensees, dealers or independent business partners, though not essential
\n
-A strong commercial and sales leadership background, with a track record of building high-performing teams
\n
-Exposure to both B2B and B2C customer bases, or genuine enthusiasm to grow into a role that spans both
\n
-Based in Sydney, with flexibility to travel across the NSW network
\n
What's on Offer
\n
-A senior leadership role with genuine autonomy and scope to shape state performance
\n
-Competitive remuneration package including vehicle and incentive structure
\n
-The backing of a major corporate group, combined with the culture of an iconic, founder-heritage brand
\n
This search is being managed confidentially on behalf of our client.
