You’ll inherit strong customer relationships while also identifying new opportunities and growing the territory through value-based selling.

This is a Waikato-based territory role, giving you the autonomy to manage your customer base, plan your sales activity and spend your time where it matters most — with customers. You’ll be supported by an experienced technical team, with regular connection to the wider business.

• Ongoing technical support, training and product knowledge from experienced specialists.
• Regular connection with the wider team through Auckland office visits.

About the Role

This is a customer-facing technical sales role, combining approximately 50% account management and 50% business development.
