The Challenge
GALE Pacific operates in a vertically integrated model, from research and development through to manufacturing and global distribution. This created a complex hiring environment across multiple functions, seniority levels and stakeholder groups.
The business required talent across executive leadership, commercial and sales, supply chain and procurement, manufacturing and engineering, marketing and product, people and culture, and customer experience.
The key challenge was alignment. Planning, procurement, logistics, production and sales were highly interdependent, meaning each appointment needed to be understood in the context of the broader operating model.
GALE Pacific also required blended capability profiles. The business sits across consumer retail, commercial channels, industrial markets and technical manufacturing, creating a need for candidates who could operate across both strategic and practical environments.
Our Solution
Galvin-Rowley Executive delivered a structured, research-led talent solution using GALE Pacific’s business model as the foundation.
The first step was to organise the hiring program into clear functional pillars. This helped create role clarity, support stakeholder alignment and ensure each appointment was connected to the company’s broader commercial and operational priorities.
Galvin-Rowley Executive then implemented a three-layer hiring strategy.
The leadership spine focused on strategic direction, transformation and organisational capability, including executive finance, people and culture, and national sales leadership.
The commercial engine focused on revenue growth and customer channels, including account management, sales management and marketing leadership.
The operational backbone focused on execution, efficiency and service delivery, including supply chain, procurement, logistics, manufacturing, engineering and customer service.
To support consistency across a large volume of roles, Galvin-Rowley Executive used a centralised delivery model with a dedicated account lead, functional specialists and a consistent candidate evaluation framework. This enabled Galvin-Rowley Executive to manage complexity while maintaining rigour, care and alignment across each appointment process.
The Impact
The engagement gave GALE Pacific a scalable hiring framework across a complex, multi-functional workforce program.
