Business Manager - New Branch Opening
Build it. Grow it. Lead it.
Winnchester Consulting is recruiting a Business Manager for our client’s new branch opening in Goulburn, Southern Tablelands NSW.
This is a genuine build-and-grow opportunity for a commercially driven leader who knows how to create momentum, win new customers, build a capable team, and establish a strong branch presence from the ground up.
This is not a maintenance role. From day one, you will take ownership of branch performance across sales, margin, customer growth, operations, and people leadership. Your focus will be on building local market presence, generating demand, creating a strong sales rhythm, and setting the standard for how the branch operates.
If you are energised by opening doors, winning business, leading from the front, and building something with real commercial upside, this role is worth serious consideration.
