You'll manage and grow an established client portfolio, build strong long-term relationships, and identify opportunities to support customers with the products, services, and technical advice that help their businesses perform.

In return, you'll enjoy genuine autonomy, a market-competitive salary and incentive structure, a company vehicle, mobile phone, and ongoing technical and sales development. You'll also have access to transparent career pathways within one of New Zealand's most respected rural service providers.
