For over 120 years the AA have been helping Kiwis on their adventures! Today, we're one of New Zealand's most respected and trusted brands. From our humble beginnings as a motoring enthusiast's club, the New Zealand AA (Automobile Association) has grown into a large, dynamic organisation offering many services and products to more than a million Members.
And now, we’re building the organisation of the future – more connected, modern, and purpose-driven. We are a business in transformation, with opportunities to work cross-functionally, grow new skills, and make a meaningful impact. We’re investing in our people, platforms, and ways of working to stay ahead of what our Members and customers need.
We now have an opportunity for a Value Stream Lead to shape and deliver our Value, Viability & Growth portfolio of initiatives, connecting strategy to execution, and driving commercial performance, customer value and long-term business sustainability.
As Value Stream Lead - Value, Viability & Growth, you will define and deliver the roadmap that strengthens customer and member value, drives commercial performance, and supports sustainable growth across the AA. Working across the organisation, you will align teams around shared outcomes, prioritise initiatives and investment, and ensure resources are focused on the opportunities that create the greatest impact. This is a highly influential leadership role where you will connect strategy and execution, foster cross-functional collaboration, optimise products, propositions and customer journeys, and ensure the AA remains focused on delivering meaningful value for Members, customers and the business.
We're looking for a commercially astute and strategically minded leader with a proven ability to bring people, priorities and delivery together to achieve complex business outcomes. You'll have experience leading cross-functional initiatives in areas such as commercial performance, product, strategy, transformation or portfolio delivery, with a strong track record of influencing stakeholders, prioritising competing demands and turning insight into action. Comfortable operating in ambiguity and driving change without direct authority, you'll combine strong commercial judgement, customer focus and analytical thinking with the ability to build trusted relationships and create alignment across diverse teams to deliver measurable value and growth.
