Lower North Island Regional Manager

THE OPPORTUNITY

As a key member of QV's national Rating leadership team, you'll play a pivotal role in delivering complex, large-scale valuation programmes while driving continuous improvement and innovation in how we work. You'll work directly with local government clients, industry stakeholders, and internal leaders to ensure our services are future-ready, efficient, and always adding value.

At the same time, you'll nurture and develop a talented team of valuation professionals — helping them grow while fostering a culture of excellence, accountability, and collaboration. You'll be instrumental in identifying new business opportunities, supporting national initiatives, and influencing strategic direction at both regional and national levels.

This is the perfect role for someone who thrives on variety, values autonomy, and is energised by purpose-driven leadership. You don't need to have a background in valuation or property to be successful in this role.

This is more than a leadership role — it's a chance to leave your mark on an essential industry that affects every ratepayer and council in the country.
