Job Description

Play a pivotal role in expanding our footprint across New Zealand’s most sought‑after destinations.

Hampshire Property Group is a fast‑growing, values‑driven organisation that owns and operates a diverse portfolio of holiday parks and residential communities across Australia and New Zealand.

As we continue to expand our New Zealand footprint, we’re seeking an experienced and commercially savvy Acquisitions Manager to identify, negotiate, and secure high‑potential holiday park opportunities that support our long‑term growth strategy

About the Role

This is a high‑impact role where you’ll lead the end‑to‑end acquisition process for holiday park opportunities across New Zealand. You’ll identify potential sites, build strong industry relationships, evaluate commercial potential, and drive transactions through to successful settlement as part of Hampshire’s growth strategy.

This is a hands-on, fast paced role where you’ll be responsible for:

• Identify and assess new holiday park acquisition opportunities across New Zealand.
• Build strong relationships with owners, brokers, agents, and key industry stakeholders.
• Represent HPG at industry events to strengthen networks and uncover opportunities.
• Lead negotiations and prepare offers, heads of agreement, and acquisition proposals.
• Coordinate due diligence including financial analysis, compliance checks, and property inspections.
• Gather commercial and operational information to support feasibility modelling and investment recommendations.
• Work closely with cross‑functional teams including finance, operations, legal, and HR.
• Maintain accurate acquisition pipelines, forecasts, and reporting.
• Support contract execution through to settlement and onboarding of new properties.
• Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of the acquisition strategy.

What We’re Looking For

You’re an experienced commercial or property professional with a strong track record in acquisitions, real estate, investment, or similar fields. You bring a balance of commercial acuity, negotiation strength, and relationship‑building capability — combined with the drive to uncover opportunities and progress them through to successful outcomes.

You’ll bring:

• Proven experience in property acquisition, real estate, commercial transactions, or a related field
• Strong negotiation skills and confidence managing high‑value commercial discussions
• Sound understanding of the NZ property market and regulatory environment
• Ability to assess investment returns, risks, and business/land valuation concepts
• Strong stakeholder relationship skills and a professional, credible communication style
• Understanding of legal and contractual documentation, bank funding requirements, and due diligence processes
• A proactive, strategic, and solutions‑focused approach
• Valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel across NZ as required
• You’ll stand out if you have experience in tourism, holiday parks, hospitality, or have established networks within NZ’s property or tourism sector.

Why Join Us?

• A high‑impact role where you will directly influence the growth of our New Zealand portfolio
• The opportunity to work autonomously while collaborating closely with senior leaders across NZ and Australia
• A values‑driven organisation committed to respect, accountability, innovation, collaboration, and customer focus
• The chance to build strong networks across the tourism and property sectors
• Work from home flexibility combined with regular travel across NZ
• Be part of a supportive, ambitious business with an exciting growth trajectory
