Senior Retail Management Opportunities | Auckland

About the opportunity

This is an opportunity for experienced retail leaders to connect with us about leadership opportunities across our Mitre 10 stores in Auckland. We are inviting applications from proven leaders who operate comfortably in complex retail environments.

Roles may suit leaders currently operating at Store Manager, Assistant Store Manager, Retail Manager or Operations Manager level, or those leading significant teams, departments, or functions within similar retail businesses. While scope will vary, all roles require visible leadership, commercial awareness, accountability, and consistent execution.

These are hands-on leadership roles in fast-moving environments where providing direction, developing teams, maintaining high standards, and delivering results matter.

We are looking to connect with leaders who:

• have experience leading large, layered teams through other managers or department leaders
• understand commercial drivers such as sales, margin and labour
• maintain a visible, on-the-floor leadership presence
• bring experience from big-box, hardware, grocery, department store, trade, or similar high-volume retail settings

In these roles, you may be responsible for:

• leading multiple departments within a large-format store
• driving sales, service, and operational standards
• managing labour, productivity, and performance outcomes
• using trading data to inform decisions
• developing leaders and building team capability
• leading through peak trade and high-volume periods

About us

As the country’s leading home improvement retailer and a trusted trade partner, Mitre 10 has been a household name since 1974. We combine the strong foundation of a national brand with the local, family feel of a community business, offering a dynamic, fast-paced environment with opportunities for growth, training, and development.

Riviera Hardware Holdings Ltd is the largest group within the Mitre 10 network in New Zealand. We operate high-volume, large-format Mitre 10 MEGA stores across Auckland — Albany, New Lynn, Silverdale and Warkworth — along with Mitre 10 Whangaparaoa. Our group also owns and operates Columbus Coffee cafés, a Distribution Centre, and a Frame & Truss Manufacturing Plant.

Our MEGA stores operate at significant scale. These are complex, multi-department environments with large teams, high customer traffic, and broad product ranges across retail and trade. Leading in this environment requires structured thinking, strong commercial awareness, and the ability to consistently deliver through other leaders.

Within our Group, senior retail leaders operate close to both the detail and the bigger picture — balancing customer outcomes, team performance, and commercial results in fast-moving environments where standards and execution matter every day.
