Their innovative swap system found in grocery and local retailers, plus innovative taps used in cafes, empowers customers to reduce waste while supporting a brand committed to doing better for the planet.
About the Role

Your strong commercial acumen will help shape and execute the sales strategy. You will thrive in a hands-on sales role, bringing energy, initiative and enjoy balancing independence with teamwork. You’ll be instrumental in elevating the brand and expanding market reach across the region. This role covers the greater Waikato area with occasional travel outside the region, overnight stays are uncommon.

- Support Directors with strategic business planning and proposal submissions, as and when required, ensuring compliance and competitiveness
- Lead marketing initiatives including promotions and on-site tasting opportunities
- Minimum 3-5 years FMCG territory sales manager experience.
- A passion for sustainability - you believe in the product’s environmental benefits and eco-friendly offering.
- Ability to work independently and manage your schedule effectively. You don’t need a manager to tell you what to do - you’re proactive and results-driven.
- Credibility and experience to negotiate contracts and work with high-value clients.
- You’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves when needed, whether it’s assisting with installations or managing product deliveries, lifting a crate or two does not phase you.
- Strong interpersonal and excellent communication skills to build and maintain relationships at all levels, from store staff to senior management.
- Effective at juggling multiple tasks, prioritising, and staying organised.
