Job description

Jora New Zealand will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

This is a senior, hands-on growth role with responsibility for leading sales, business development and account management across a well-established group of companies operating within the construction sector.
Reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Growth Officer will be responsible for building a strong and sustainable pipeline, opening new markets and accounts, strengthening existing client relationships, and ultimately delivering continued commercial growth.

You’ll develop and execute strategic business and call plans, identify emerging market opportunities, set and deliver against budgets and targets, and pursue major tenders and long-term supply agreements across government, institutional and commercial clients.

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for an experienced and commercially driven sales and business development leader who enjoys being close to the market. You’ll be comfortable both developing strategy and personally getting in front of clients, opening doors and converting opportunities.

You’ll bring strong relationship and key account management capability, a proven ability to develop new business, and the confidence to operate with senior decision-makers. Experience within construction, infrastructure, property or a closely related sector would be highly advantageous.

Just as importantly, you’ll be a self-starter with a strong work ethic, sound judgement and the ability to prioritise and deliver in a fast-moving environment.

The opportunity

This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of the growth agenda within an established business, working directly with the CEO and wider leadership team. You’ll have the scope to shape how the Group approaches the market, build deeper strategic client relationships and create new revenue opportunities.

The role can be based in Petone or Porirua, with travel as required.
