- Subaru of New Zealand Head Office

- Rare national distributor role
Subaru of New Zealand (SNZ) is the exclusive New Zealand importer/distributor of vehicles manufactured by Subaru Corporation Japan. SNZ is part of the global Inchcape PLC automotive business. The corporate head office is based in East Tamaki, Auckland where this role is based.
New Zealand is a country built for adventure. Given one-third of our roads are unsealed and our weather changes as quickly as the landscape, which often results in four-seasons in one day, it's as if Subarus were made for New Zealand.

We're proud of what makes us different, we strive to put our Kiwi customers' experience at the heart of everything we do. Globally, Subaru is often referred to as a niche manufacturer, and down here we operate a small, close-knit team where every member makes a difference.
