Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand Everest People Full time NZ$100,000 - NZ$120,000 per year
  • Primary & animal industries focus
  • Lead strategic initiatives
  • 0.6 FTE, location flexible

About the Role

Everest People are seeking Expressions of Interest from experienced senior leaders to provide strategic and operational leadership for the NZ Petfood Association.

This is a hands-on role combining strategic leadership with practical delivery. You'll manage operations, lead key initiatives, and ensure the smooth running of an annual national conference.

You'll work closely with the Chair and a small, committed team to support members, strengthen stakeholder relationships, and deliver on the organisation's strategic goals.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide strategic oversight and ensure effective delivery of organisational initiatives
  • Lead operational planning and logistics for the annual conference
  • Oversee work allocation, administration, and execution of agreed actions
  • Build and maintain relationships with key industry stakeholders
  • Champion sector-wide initiatives, foster collaboration and represent the organisation's voice
  • Act as a key contact point for members and external partners

The General Manager role is location-flexible within New Zealand; however some travel will be required. Proximity to a major airport is therefore advantageous.

Skills and experience

You'll bring:

  • Demonstrated leadership experience with excellent communication and relationship management abilities
  • Sound business understanding, including financial and budgeting experience
  • Strategic thinking and an ability to deliver operational outcomes
  • A proactive, professional, and adaptable approach
  • Experience in the primary industries, animal sector, advocacy, or regulatory environments will be highly valued.
  • A degree qualification is desirable, though extensive relevant experience will also be considered.
