Account and Business Development Manager
Account and Business Development Manager
I’m working with a proudly Kiwi-owned supplier with more than 30 years’ experience supporting the construction and engineering sectors. Known for their outstanding service, technical product knowledge, and strong stock availability, they’ve built a loyal national customer base — and now they’re looking to grow even further in the commercial and civil construction space.
Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity
This is a full-time role based out of the Christchurch branch, focused on developing new business and managing key accounts across the commercial and civil sectors. The role replaces an incumbent and continues to drive growth across these key sectors. You’ll be working in a friendly, high-performing team — but this is a role with plenty of autonomy. The expectation is that you’ll own your territory, grow brand awareness, build relationships, and consistently bring in new customers.
It’s a proactive, customer-facing sales role: part account management, part new business development, and part trusted technical adviser. You’ll be backed by a responsive internal sales and warehouse team, and have the tools you need to succeed (Surface Pro, CRM, phone, vehicle).
