About the Role
We’re looking for an exceptional General Manager to lead the next chapter of growth for globally recognised fashion & lifestyle brand, Zulu & Zephyr.
This is more than an operational leadership role — it’s an opportunity to shape the financial future of the business, build a high-performing culture, and turn ambition into disciplined, sustainable growth.
Working closely with the founders, you’ll sit at the centre of the business — bringing clarity to the numbers, confidence to decision-making, and alignment across teams. You’ll own the financial engine, from forecasting and cash flow to performance and profitability, while building the structures, rhythms, and people capability
needed to scale.
This role is suited to a commercially sharp operator who thrives on connecting financial insight with real-world execution — and who understands that strong performance starts with strong people.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience in a General Manager, COO, or senior commercial leadership role
- Deep financial capability, with hands-on ownership of P&L, forecasting, and cash flow
- Experience in sales forecasting and using data to drive business performance
- A commercial mindset with the ability to balance brand, customer, and financial outcomes
- A people-first leader who knows how to build culture, develop talent, and create
accountability - A strategic thinker who can move seamlessly between big-picture vision and day-to-day execution
- A confident, grounded communicator who builds trust with founders, teams, and stakeholders
Why This Role
- Lead a globally recognised brand at a pivotal stage of growth
- Own the financial direction and performance of the business
- Work with founders to shape strategy and execution
- Build and lead a team culture that drives performance, clarity, and engagement
- Byron Bay-based role, with a collaborative and creative team

The Role

- Overseeing fabric and trim sourcing in line with delivery schedules
- Maintaining accurate costing across systems and production stages
- Building and managing strong relationships with offshore suppliers
- Ensuring quality, fit and finish are consistent with brand standards
- Identifying risks early and problem-solving across timelines, cost and delivery
What We’re Looking For
This role will suit someone coming from a premium or contemporary fashion brand, with a strong eye for product and a deep understanding of production.
- 5+ years’ experience in Production, Product Development or Technical roles
- Experience working with offshore suppliers and managing end-to-end production
- Strong commercial acumen — confident in costing, pricing and margin management
- A sharp eye for detail across fit, fabrication and finish
- Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple seasons and deadlines
- Calm, solutions-focused and able to navigate pressure with clarity
- A natural collaborator who can work closely with design and cross-functional teams
- Experience working with CIN7 & WFX is preferred
Why Join Zulu & Zephyr
- Be part of a brand with a strong design identity and global presence
- Work closely with an experienced and passionate team
- Play a key role in shaping how product comes to life across all channels
- Byron Bay location, working from our HQ with a highly engaged team
- A role with real ownership, impact and visibility
