Our Client
Our client is a global compressor manufacturer that has ambitious plans for continued growth in the Australian marketplace. With an extensive distribution network and quality product, there are ample possibilities of increasing the company’s footprint as they look to take market share off of their competition. With a relatively small operation in Australia and South East Asia, this is a significant opportunity to establish strategic direction of the organisation’s operations within the APAC region.
The Position
The General Manager position will lead the direction of the organisation within Australia and oversee the South-East Asian subsidiary, driving the vision for customer engagement within the region. Reporting directly to the Board in Europe, you will play a key role in developing the P&L, whilst maintaining a hands-on approach by building relationships with the extensive and prospective customer base. This will include regular travel interstate and into South-East Asia. In the medium to long term, the General Manager will focus on improving the company’s service offering, process efficiencies and growing the internal Australian team based in Melbourne.
Successful Candidate
The Executive Board is ideally interested in candidates who have previously been working for an organisation that specialise in technical products, although they are open to varying degrees of management experience. There are two lines of thinking, with the Board being interested in both Executive level experience or a candidate taking the next step in their career, as long as they’re prepared to be hands-on in their duties. Ideally the successful candidate will have exposure to managing distribution networks, as well as an extensive network of end users that will allow for future sales opportunities. Overall, you will have a proven track record in significantly leading the strategic direction of a company in ultimately improving their sales operations, and creating a harmonious working environment for all employees.
