Description
About the company:
A well-established national supplier to the construction sector is expanding its South Island presence and creating a brand-new Account Manager role to support growth across the Southern Lakes region.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a growth territory with strong internal backing, genuine autonomy, and significant scope in an established industry.
If you’re commercially sharp, relationship-driven, and motivated by building something meaningful — we want to hear from you.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the South Island Regional Sales Manager, you’ll be responsible for developing and growing a portfolio of customers across the Southern Lakes district. This is a remote role combining strategic account development, new business acquisition, and trusted advisor-style relationship management. You’ll be supported by an established national operation, but success in this role will come from your initiative, resilience, and ability to create momentum in your market.

- Identifying and converting new business opportunities
- Managing a sales pipeline from prospecting through to close
- Delivering tailored solutions that add genuine customer value
- Representing a respected brand in a competitive market
- Collaborating with internal teams to ensure exceptional service delivery
Key Attributes
We’re deliberately open on background — what matters is how you operate.

- Natural relationship-building ability and commercial awareness
- Drive, persistence, and a proactive mindset
- Confidence working autonomously in a remote environment
- Strong communication and influencing skills
- A genuine appetite to learn and grow
Construction or industry experience is not essential. Attitude, capability, and potential are.
What’s On Offer
- Newly created role with real ownership
- Remote working flexibility across the Southern Lakes region
- Supportive leadership and national infrastructure
- Competitive salary + company car + performance incentives
- Long-term career growth within a stable, successful business
