Assistant Branch Manager

Tony's Tyres has been keeping New Zealanders safely on the road for decades, and our Whanganui retail store is a key part of our national network. We're on the lookout for a motivated, hands-on leader ready to take the next step in their automotive retail career.

If you thrive on the workshop floor as much as you do on the sales floor, and you're ready to step into a role with real leadership responsibility – this is your opportunity!

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll support the Branch Manager in driving the day-to-day performance of the store. You'll play a key part in building a high-performing team, delivering an outstanding customer experience, and helping grow the branch - all while staying close to the technical work you love.

This is a 45-hour per week role, Monday to Saturday.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Supporting the Branch Manager in leading, coaching, and developing the team
• Driving store performance by managing sales and stock to ensure targets are met
• Delivering a consistently excellent in-store customer experience
• Maintaining high standards for store presentation and Health & Safety compliance
• Performing Wheel Alignments and being hands-on across all areas of the workshop
• Assisting with training, performance management, and adherence to company procedures

What We're Looking For

You'll bring energy, a customer-first mindset and a genuine desire to lead people. To be considered, you'll need:

• Experience in the automotive or tyre industry - or a strong willingness to learn across all areas of store operations
• Proven sales experience and the ability to drive results as part of a team
• Emerging leadership skills and the confidence to step up and lead by example
• Good communication skills and a solutions-focused attitude
• A full, clean New Zealand Driver's Licence

What's On Offer

We value people who show up and give it everything. In return, we offer:

• Competitive pay rate with regular performance reviews
• Genuine career progression pathways within the wider Tony's Tyres network
• Ongoing training and professional development support
• Generous staff discounts, family buying privileges, and employee benefits
• A supportive, safety-first team culture within a well-established, trusted Kiwi brand
