We’re growing – and we’re opening expressions of interest for an experienced Corporate and Commercial leader to join our established team in Queenstown, New Zealand.
As part of our long-term investment in Queenstown and the wider South Island, we're seeking expressions of interest from experienced specialists interested in building and growing a practice within a leading New Zealand firm with an existing large Queenstown client base. This appointment will align with the announcement of our spacious new office in the Five Mile business hub.
This is an opportunity for a respected practitioner, ideally with strong expertise across commercial contracts, mergers and acquisitions, corporate advisory and private equity, with the flexibility to adapt to the region’s unique business environment. Supported by strong and embedded local business connections and an established national platform, this will be an opportunity to develop a buoyant practice and team alongside our existing Partnership, while immersing yourself in the wider Queenstown community.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We are seeking a proven performer. The right person is likely to already be a successful Partner, but we would also consider seniors with a strong client focus and the ability to win business and grow a practice. You must have a strong desire to settle in the region long-term. Relocation support will be available.
