Regional Restaurant Manager jobs

Regional Sales Manager, New South Wales

Relocate to Australia with your family, fully sponsored

Lead 14 showrooms for one of Australia’s largest kitchen retailers

Based in Sydney | Full visa sponsorship | Relocation package | 180,000- 250,000 AUD

You already run a region in the UK. You know which of your sites is quietly costing you the year, you know how to hold a manager to a number without losing them, and you can tell the difference between a showroom with a traffic problem and one with a conversion problem.

What you probably do not have is a business willing to move you and your family to the other side of the world so you can keep doing it here.

About Kitchen Connection

We design and install more than 5,000 kitchens a year through 31 showrooms across Australia, and we are part of an ASX listed group. Our growth comes from disciplined systems, strong showroom teams and a customer experience we take seriously. New South Wales is where our largest opportunity sits, which is why this role exists.

The Role

You lead 14 showrooms across New South Wales and report to the National Sales Manager. You own the performance, the culture and the leadership bench of the state.

You will not carry a full profit and loss. You will own the inputs that decide it. Wages to sales, conversion, average sale value, lead follow up, designer productivity and roster shape. Get those right and the result follows. That is the job, and that is what we will measure.

What You Own

• Wages to sales across 14 sites, and the roster and headcount decisions that move it.
• Conversion and average sale value by showroom and by designer, and the coaching that lifts both.
• The performance of your Area and Showroom Managers, including the conversations most leaders avoid having.
• Turnaround plans for underperforming sites, with a diagnosis, a timeline and a number you commit to in front of the executive team.
• Recruitment, development and retention of sales talent, so one resignation never puts a showroom at risk.
• Consistent execution of our sales process, customer experience and operational standards across every site.
• Analysis that arrives before the meeting, not after it. You bring the numbers, the cause and the plan.
• Execution of national strategic initiatives in your state, working with the National Sales Manager.

What Accountability Looks Like Here

You know which of your 14 sites is off plan before anyone asks, and why. You set a standard for your managers and hold them to it consistently, not selectively. When something goes wrong in your Region you own it, you say what you are doing about it, and you close it out. We back people who work this way and we give them real autonomy to run their region.

What You Need

• Five or more years leading multiple locations, with accountability for leaders rather than consultants. Single site experience, however strong, will not prepare you for this role.
• A track record of turning around underperforming sites, and the ability to talk us through what you changed and what it delivered.
• Genuine analytical capability. You read the data before you form the opinion and you can explain what it actually says.
• The ability to run six competing priorities across a region and still tell us which three matter most this quarter.
• Experience building a culture where people are held to account and still want to stay.
• A background in kitchens, furniture, big ticket retail or a comparable considered purchase environment.
• The ambition to build a long-term career in Australia, not a two-year working holiday.

We are not looking for the best salesperson in the room. We are looking for the person who makes 14 rooms better.

The Move

We sponsor your visa in full, and we cover the cost of getting you here. We will guide you through every step.

You will be based in Sydney with regular travel across New South Wales. Expect to be in showrooms two to three days most weeks.

What We Offer

• Excellent base salary plus superannuation and a performance bonus tied to your regional result.
• Vehicle and phone allowance.
• Comprehensive relocation assistance.
• Industry leading sales, leadership and product training.
• High quality marketing support and a proven sales process.
• Modern, purpose-built showrooms and industry leading CRM and reporting.
• Genuine autonomy to run your region.
• Employee Assistance Program, including 24/7 manager support.
• Executive exposure across an ASX listed group.
