Job offer: Business Development Manager

Our client is seeking an experienced sales professional to join their team in a true hunter /B2B role.

This is a first-class opportunity to work for an innovative company that has created an environment for all staff to thrive and be the best that they can be. As an organisation of highly skilled technical employees, they offer a supportive workplace that fosters creativity, collaboration and personal development. You will know that what you are selling is quality and consists of a diverse product range that is making its way around the world.

This a national role, so the world (well, NZ) is your oyster in terms of your playing field - no worries about stepping on a colleague's territory toes. This role has so much potential - think sales management, think broadening your sights to include Australia.

So, what are you going to be doing?

• Develop and implement growth strategies to drive market expansion and increase market share
• Identify potential customers - convert!
• Maintain your customer base through "better than the rest" account management
• Take responsibility for monthly, quarterly and annual sales plans and reporting 
• Stay close to what is happening in the market - be aware of changes, trends, competitor activity - eyes straight ahead on the prize, but with an ear to the ground
• In time, build/train/lead a sales team that exceeds sales goals and is known for exceptional service 

And you are?

• a proven B2B sales professional, ideally from a plastics, packaging, precision mold manufacturing/production, or smart home device sector/background
• naturally a positive and highly self-disciplined person who is capable of working independently
• known for excellent contract negotiation skills and for closing deals
• commercially astute, intuitive and a strong communicator both verbally and in written form
• confident, calm under pressure, love the thrill of the chase and builds trust easily
• a leader, a mentor and a coach - you know how to create an environment that motivates others

Reporting to an offshore manager, this is a remote working opportunity that offers flexible working arrangements, uncapped commission and a career path. You will need to have a reliable vehicle and a clean full Driver Licence.

You also need to have the right to work in New Zealand either by way of citizenship or residency.

You are a salesperson so please ensure your cover letter tells me stories of your successes and why this is a role of interest to you.
