Founded in 1999, Farrah's has grown to be New Zealand's leading manufacturer of wraps and tortillas. Our products are proudly made in our world class ‘Bread Quarters’ in Upper Hutt, using only the finest ingredients and manufactured using ‘state of the art’ machinery and technology.

We’re looking for a Business Development Manager based in Christchurch who enjoys getting in front of customers, finding opportunities and turning strong relationships into sales growth.

Reporting to the Head of Sales, you’ll grow existing accounts and win new business within the South Island food service market. You’ll work with distributors and end users to understand what they need, demonstrate our products and find solutions that work for their businesses.

What you’ll do:

• Identify and convert new business opportunities.
• Build strong relationships with customers, distributors and prospects.
• Grow sales with new and existing customers through regular contact and planned business reviews.
• Present and demonstrate Farrah’s products with confidence at trade shows and other events.
• Plan your sales activity, follow up consistently and track results.
• Share customer and market insights with the wider sales, marketing and innovation teams.
• Represent the Farrah’s brand with professionalism, energy and care

This role is fully remote, so a home office set up is essential and some overnight travel will be required.

What you’ll bring

You’ll be a passionate foodie and have a strong sales record in food or FMCG, ideally across business development or key accounts. You’re comfortable working independently, managing a sales pipeline and being accountable for your results.

You’ll have “Fire in the Belly” and be ready to bring your A game!

You’ll be a good listener and communicator who can build trust with different customers. Most of all, you’ll enjoy finding practical ways to help customers succeed while delivering growth for Farrah’s.

Why Farrah’s?

You will have the opportunity to contribute and be part of a supportive team that work hard and have fun. Work anniversaries, and other achievements get the recognition they deserve at Farrah’s, from our recognition program ‘Taco Bout Awesome’ through to our Annual Values Awards.

You’ll have the autonomy to own your territory and work with passionate like-minded individuals who always punch above their weight.
