The role
The role of General Manager is truly one of general management, covering all the aspects of day-to-day operations for the Auckland Security business, working closely with your Wellington counterpart and the Australian business to maximize market share.
Primarily, your focus will be on further developing the foundations for growth by ensuring that the systems, processes and people are all ready to take the business to the next phase. You will be working alongside a GM of security in Wellington, collaborating to support outsourcing services as well as grow Datacom’s Security portfolios to make them market leaders.
Responsible for approximately 40 staff, you will be busy leading from the front and being the face of the business to all our customers, growing our security capability and creating strategies to dominate the Auckland security market.
This is an exciting opportunity with the chance to work closely with our identity practice (lead by Tim Ransom) as well as having access to our software development capability to bring a new dynamic to the market. You will be a thought leader in the Security space who wants to engage with the wider NZ Security eco system to make a difference for NZ.
The Person
This role doesn't come with training wheels so you'll need to be a successful seasoned and experienced manager of people and business.
With a proven skill set that includes strong leadership, you’ll enjoy the day to day HR piece as much as having robust financial management skills. Delivery focussed for the day-to-day commercial operations, you will have an eye for commercial models and be comfortable working with a P&L as well as developing “as a Service” offers.
Service delivery and people development will be your passion and talent and your colleagues will tell us you are a natural networker with a flair for spotting and capitalising on new opportunities for growth. Highly commercial with considered approach and pragmatic approach – our ideal candidate can see the big picture as well as get into the detail to make it happen.
Ideally, you will also have connections that strengthen Datacom’s brand in the IT security industry and have a plan to grow our services in a considered and trusted way that matches the Datacom brand.
