Job description

An exciting opportunity to shape the global growth of an innovative NZ technology business backed by an established international organisation

16th October, 2026

Imagine the excitement of helping scale an innovative technology business globally, but with the financial strength, resources and stability of a highly successful international organisation.

Our client is a New Zealand technology innovator transforming the agricultural sector through smart, connected solutions. With significant investment, ambitious expansion plans and growing international demand, the business is entering an exciting new chapter.

This is much more than a traditional Head of Sales position. You'll have the opportunity to shape the commercial direction of a rapidly growing business, build international teams and play a pivotal role in taking New Zealand innovation to the world.

Reporting to the General Manager and joining the senior leadership team, you will:

• Develop and execute a global commercial strategy to accelerate revenue growth.
• Lead and scale international sales and customer success teams across multiple regions.
• Identify and develop new markets, particularly across North America, Europe and Latin America.
• Build the commercial structures, processes and capabilities needed to support rapid growth.
• Drive customer acquisition, retention and expansion while influencing broader business strategy.
