West Coast Regional Manager

OUR BRAND

Rodd & Gunn New Zealand is one of the fastest growing Men’s Clothing brands in France, Belgium, USA, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand. We have expanded our retail footprint across the Southern and Northern Hemisphere, and done so with a quiet, dogged determination, now with over 65 retail lodges, 121 shop in shops, and 280 wholesale doors including Hudson Bay, Nordstrom, Nieman Marcus, and Trunk Club, just to name a few.

At Rodd & Gunn you will work for a New Zealand lifestyle brand with heritage dating back to 1946. Every seasonal collection is informed by our natural NZ surroundings. We are a genuine, aspirational, modern, lifestyle menswear brand defined by New Zealand, adventure, knowledge and appreciation of quality and craft. Since the first English Pointer was stitched on a range of boutique men’s shirts in 1946, we’ve been unwilling to compromise on quality, in fact, we can be borderline obsessive. Over the years, we’ve earned a reputation for crafting timeless garments that are made to last. From the fabrics we source, to the techniques we use to construct our clothing, quality is the undercurrent that buoys us as a brand. We confidently offer a two-year guarantee on all our goods and deliver a garment that will remain a favourite for years and generations to come.

You will build genuine relationships with every customer, earn their trust, share our story and values, and drive your store teams to do the same.
