Lead a high‑profile site with major CapEx upgrades and modernisation underway
Drive culture, collaboration and performance across diverse functional teams
Shape long‑term operational strategy at a critical Auckland manufacturing site
About Us
For over a century, our Paints & Coatings brands have helped shape the homes, buildings, and infrastructure that define Australia and New Zealand. From protecting iconic landmarks to adding colour to everyday spaces, our work makes a lasting impact.
Proudly part of the DuluxGroup and home to some of the region’s most trusted and beloved brands including Dulux, Berger, Acratex, British Paints, and Porter’s Paints - you’ll be joining a team of passionate people globally who are proud to create, innovate, and lead.
We’re consistently recognised as one of ANZ’s most trusted brands, and we’re committed to building better futures - for our customers, our communities, and our people.
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead the end‑to‑end operational performance of the Dulux Powders manufacturing and warehousing sites in Glenfield. This high‑impact leadership role oversees safety, production, quality, maintenance, supply chain integration, financial performance, and people leadership across ~35 direct/indirect reports and a broader on‑site population of 90–100.
This role is pivotal in maintaining culture, operational stability, and performance continuity.
You’ll lead two core operational areas:
Factory (Production)
Warehousing (Raw Materials & Finished Goods)
The site spans a split layout connected by a shared pathway, requiring strong oversight across both zones. You’ll manage aging equipment alongside major CapEx programs—including multi‑million‑dollar mill replacements—while navigating a complex matrix of stakeholders across R&D, Supply Chain, Quality, Sales, and national leadership.
Our Benefits
Let us support you with Life, total permanent disability and Health Insurance
Exclusive discounts on DuluxGroup products and partner offers
We will match up to 4% of your salary to Kiwisaver
20 weeks paid parental leave (primary carers) and 2 weeks partner leave
Market leading learning, development and career pathways
Access to our Wellbeing Hub and full EAP support
Recognition programs that celebrate your impact
What we're looking for
Strong manufacturing background with exposure to complex, multi‑functional sites
Experience managing large teams and/or multi‑site or multi‑discipline operations
Proven capability in CI, Lean, Six Sigma, and structured problem solving
Comfortable operating in a matrix environment with dotted‑line stakeholders
Strong influencer—able to engage senior leaders and long‑tenured staff, collaborative leader who unifies diverse groups around shared goals
Financial acumen and budget ownership experience
Understanding of quality systems, ISO standards, compliance frameworks
Why join us?
Progressing your career with the DuluxGroup means being part of a network of over 8000 employees globally who believe in our purpose to ‘Imagine a Better Place’
With origins dating back to 1918, we are a leading marketer and manufacturer of iconic brands such as Dulux, Selleys, Cabots, Yates and B&D to name a few.
