• Manage and coach 3 or more Regional Leads on development, performance and day-to-day problem solving.
• Take part in regional operations through the season, including staff recruitment and leadership development.
• Supervise and sign off the monthly payroll so field staff salaries, transport costs and bonuses are paid accurately and on time.

• Work with Government Relations, Procurement and Logistics so new sites are authorised and supplies are ready before rollout.
