Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Green Full time NZ$80,000 - NZ$120,000 per year

Green by Nature is proud to be one of the Auckland Council's chosen service providers, responsible for maintaining the region's many parks, playgrounds, facilities and public spaces. We're excitedly seeking a Operations Manager to lead our Tūpuna Maunga Authority Team. This role is an opportunity to bring strong leadership, operational excellence, and a connection to Te Ao Maori (a Maori world view).

Why this role is special:

We are seeking someone who not only has proven operational and leadership qualities, but also has a cultural capacity to embrace the practice of kaitiakitanga (trusteeship, guardianship and protection) on the Tūpuna Maunga o Tamaki Makaurau (Ancestral Mountains/volcanoes of Auckland). We believe that true leadership in this space requires a genuine understanding of the whenua, the people, and the communities that we serve, daily. Your connection will bring invaluable insight and authenticity to your mahi.

What you'll be doing:
  • Leading and managing operations across the Tūpuna Maunga Authority contract, ensuring safe, efficient, and high-quality service delivery
  • Building strong relationships with clients, stakeholders, iwi, and community partners
  • Supporting, mentoring, and developing your team, fostering a culture of care and accountability
  • Overseeing budgets, contracts, and compliance to ensure operational and financial performance
  • Driving continuous improvement and innovation in how we serve our people and environment
What we're looking for:
  • Demonstrated leadership experience in operations, facilities, open spaces, or horticulture related sectors
  • Strong people leadership skills with a track record of developing and supporting diverse teams
  • Excellent relationship-building skills, with the ability to connect across cultures and communities
  • Commercial and contractual management experience
  • Genuine support of whakapapa with the ability to bring that perspective into decision-making and leadership
What We Can Offer You:

As part of our team, you'll have the opportunity to work with a company that has been an industry leader for over 30 years. You'll gain valuable knowledge and experience and develop your career within one of Australasia's largest green space maintenance companies. We offer a performance-based salary reviewed annually, a work vehicle, a company phone permitted for personal use, and an annual $300 wellness benefit (after qualifying period). 

About us:

Green by Nature is a diversified professional full facility, parks maintenance, sports turf, landscaping and horticulture company, operating across New Zealand and Australia. We have 2000+ employees, have been an industry leader for over 30 years and are committed to a culture of health and safety, excellence, and continuous improvement, whilst caring for our people, clients, and communities.
