If so, this could be your next big move.
This is not a “sit back and manage accounts” type of role. You’ll be the face of a fast growing, New Zealand owned logistics provider. One with the scale to deliver nationwide but the agility to craft tailored solutions.
Our clients rely on us to keep their world moving, and you’ll be the one out there making those connections happen.
Why you’ll love it
- You’ll own your region (Lower North Island), identifying opportunities, opening doors, and closing deals.
- You’ll be backed by a team that delivers what you sell, so you can confidently build trust with clients.
- You’ll work with a portfolio of industries, from infrastructure to manufacturing to commercial services, meaning every week brings fresh conversations and challenges.
- Your results won’t disappear into a corporate black hole, they’ll be noticed, valued, and rewarded.
- Hunting for new business and converting opportunities into long term wins.
- Building deep relationships with key accounts, ensuring they stay loyal.
- Collaborating with operations and service teams to design seamless supply chain solutions.
- Representing the business at industry events & being the person everyone knows.
- Using CRM tools to keep your pipeline sharp and on track.
You’re not just a salesperson. You’re a connector, a problem solver, someone who gets a buzz from seeing a client say yes. Ideally, you’ll bring:
- 3+ years in sales or business development.
- Knowledge of logistics, transport, or supply chain (a bonus, not a dealbreaker).
- Confidence, communication skills, and commercial smarts.
- A proactive, solutions first mindset.
- Comfort with CRM tools and reporting.
- A respected, innovative logistics business with strong national presence.
- Support, training, and a clear path to grow your career.
- Recognition for your wins not just a pat on the back, but real reward.
- A chance to make your mark in a business where your impact matters.
