About the role

Build Our Australia Business from Day One | GM / Country Manager (AU)

Location:​ Australia (Remote with travel as needed)

Employment Type:​ Full-time


About Us

We are a leading China-based smart hardware company expanding globally with innovative home and outdoor solutions. After strong growth in multiple markets, we are now establishing our Australia subsidiary​ — and we’re looking for the leader who will build it from scratch.

This is not just a sales role. You will be the architect of our Australia operations, combining market expansion, channel development, inventory planning, and long-term strategy.


The Role: What You Will Do

As the Australia General Manager / Country Lead, you will:

Set up and lead the Australia entity from day one (legal, team, operations).

Own both sales & operations: revenue growth, channel partnerships, and local inventory management (“stock & supply planning”).

Develop and manage relationships with pool & outdoor retailers, distributors, installers, and service partners.

Align closely with HQ in China on product strategy, pricing, and long-term direction.

Build a local brand presence that balances growth + profitability.


Who We’re Looking For

We want someone who can act as a local CEO​ in Australia.


Must-haves

Based in Australia, with deep understanding of local retail & distribution channels.

Strong network in the pool, spa, or outdoor lifestyle industry.

Track record in sales + P&L ownership​ — this role blends commercial and operational thinking.

Comfortable working cross-culturally with HQ leadership in China.


Nice-to-haves

Background in smart home, IoT, HVAC, or energy-related products​ (heat pumps, etc.).

Experience managing installation/service-oriented products (even if your main focus is non-installation categories).

Prior experience building a subsidiary or new market from zero.


Why Join Us

Be the founder of our Australia business​ — your decisions will shape the entire market strategy.

Direct access to global HQ and executive leadership.

Competitive compensation package + performance incentives.

Opportunity to expand into a high-potential region with strong category fit.
