Business Development Manager - Electrical

You’ll be joining an established New Zealand business that has been operating for more than a decade, with an existing presence in the electrical and lighting market. This newly created role represents the next stage of its growth, with a focus on expanding its trade customer network nationally.

Based in West Auckland, you’ll have the autonomy to manage the role as you see fit, getting out into the market, opening doors and building genuine long-term relationships. The primary focus will be electricians and electrical contractors, alongside builders and electrical wholesalers throughout New Zealand.

This is very much a business development role for someone who enjoys creating opportunities, developing relationships from the ground up and turning those relationships into sustainable commercial business.

The Role:
You’ll be responsible for identifying and developing new business opportunities across New Zealand, building strong relationships within the electrical and wider trade sector and establishing the company as a trusted supply partner.

You’ll spend your time in the market meeting customers, understanding their businesses and identifying where the company’s broad electrical and lighting product range can add value.

There is plenty of scope to make this role your own. You’ll have the autonomy to determine how you approach the market, where the opportunities lie and how best to develop your customer network.

Relevant Skills & Attributes:
You will have:

• A proven background in B2B sales, ideally within the electrical, lighting, building products or related trade sector
• An existing network and strong understanding of the electrical/trade market, particularly electricians and electrical contractors
• A genuine new-business mindset with the confidence to prospect, open doors and develop a market from the ground up
• The drive and autonomy to manage a national territory and take ownership of your results
• Applicants must be New Zealand citizens or permanent residents with full working rights in New Zealand.

You’ll be joining an established business with a broad product offering and genuine ambitions for growth. This is an opportunity to build your network, develop a national market and have a real influence over how the role evolves.

A competitive base salary is offered, together with uncapped commission paid monthly and the full use of a company vehicle.

If you’re commercially driven, well connected within the electrical sector and excited by the opportunity to build something rather than simply maintain it, I’d be interested in hearing from you.
