About The Opportunity

We are on a journey of growth and have an exciting opportunity for an Adviser Distribution Manager to join our vibrant and collaborative Distribution team. You will play a key role in achieving our growth and elevating quality standards through strategic adviser relationship management. You will work in conjunction with the rest of the Distribution Team to determine the best strategies to grow and support our external advisers to deliver these strategies throughout the country.

This role is based in our Auckland office. Travel is a requirement of the role as our advisers are based across the country, and you will be responsible for planning and managing your own in-person and virtual meetings.

As an Adviser Distribution Manager, you will:

• Manage relationships with existing advisers and onboard new advisers.
• Support advisers with business development strategies.
• Provide advisers with necessary technology, product, and industry training.

• Maintaining your current Financial Adviser status (or obtain NZ Financial Services Level 5 Qualification in Insurance or equivalent within 12 months of employment)
