Business Development Manager

Own your territory, hunt new business and join a people-first company with some serious growth behind it.

This is a genuine new business sales role for someone who loves the chase and is comfortable backing themselves. You’ll be building relationships across the residential construction market, targeting builders, group home builders and developers while managing your territory autonomously.

You won’t have a team sitting around you every day, so previous experience working remotely or independently is important. You’ll have plenty of support, leads and a thorough induction behind you, but ultimately this is your patch. The more calls you make, meetings you book and relationships you build, the more you’ll get out of it.

The company itself has a great story too. They’ve grown beyond NZ into a global business with continuous plans to expand, while maintaining a genuinely people-first culture. There’s great longevity across the team, they’re big on developing and progressing good people, and there’s plenty of opportunity to grow alongside the business.

What’s in it for you?

• Base salary up to $110k for the right person
• Uncapped commission with serious upside
• Company UTE + fuel card
• Southern Cross health insurance
• Thorough induction with ongoing training
• Genuine progression opportunities
• Growing global business
• People-first culture
• Complete autonomy over your territory
• Take ownership of the entire South Island territory, managing your own travel, call cycle and opportunities

What we’re looking for

• Proven B2B new business sales experience
• Get out in the market attending industry events, networking with builders and creating new relationships across your territory
• Strong relationships across the building and construction industry
• Previous remote / autonomous working experience
• A genuine hunter mentality
• Comfortable picking up the phone and prospecting
• Resilient with pushback and rejection
• Strong territory and pipeline management
• Confident running face-to-face meetings
• Highly self-motivated without needing daily supervision
• Health & Safety knowledge or industry experience would be a bonus

You’ll have leads coming through the CRM, industry events, referrals, digital channels and previous customers, but this isn’t a role where you wait for the phone to ring. You’ll be expected to create opportunities, get in front of the right people and turn those conversations into long-term customers.

You might already sell into construction, come from a merchant environment, or have started on the tools before moving into sales. What matters is that you already know the building and construction market, can open doors, work autonomously and consistently create your own momentum.

If you want the freedom of a remote role without sacrificing the support, development and progression of a growing business, I’d love to hear from you.
