What You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you will manage and support a network of Guthrie Bowron stores, working closely with store owners to ensure their success. This includes conducting range reviews, quarterly business reviews, and providing operational support such as tint machine management and back-end process improvements. You will be responsible for driving both trade and retail sales, influencing selling strategies, and supporting promotional activities. Collaboration is key, as you’ll work alongside the trade sales team and two North Island account managers. The role requires a high level of independence, so strong self-motivation and resilience are essential.
