GENERAL MAMANGER

 

Based in Dunedin, Edinburgh of the South, Iso-Trace New Zealand is involved in the fingerprinting of samples, using isotopic ratios that can enable direct comparison and potentially the identification of point of origin for a variety of materials and products. This has a wide variety of potential applications within the pharmaceutical, energy, food and FMCG sectors in New Zealand and internationally.

Established through the world renowned University of Otago, the business has been stand-alone since 2004, and has already developed a high profile within the isotopic testing community for its leading-edge thinking, quality of service and market-responsiveness. It is now ready for its next stage of development and growth within the national and international business arenas and requires a General Manager to lead this process.

The right individual will work in partnership with the Iso-Trace team and their clients, and will need to possess creative flair, flexibility and entrepreneurial spirit enabling them to drive the successful development of this exciting business. Our clients are seeking someone who has the maturity and strength to engage clients and other key stakeholders but who is energetic, adventurous and highly communicative in their approach to driving the development of this exciting organisation.

• Extremely strong practical business development and superb relationship management skills, with excellent communication and influencing skills and highly developed emotional intelligence when dealing with varied styles and personalities

• Be comfortable with operational business and people management, but be able to step back and take a ‘strategic overview’ of business matters and whilst appreciating it exists not get side-tracked by the minutiae of day-to-day issues
