If you’re someone who’s constantly asking, “What’s next”, or “How could this be done better?” and ready to lead the conversation, this is for you!

Our Role

This isn’t your average sales gig.

You’ll be at the intersection of curiosity and commerce - hunting new business opportunities, shaping pricing strategies, and guiding clients through complex hazardous waste challenges

Based in Wellington,you'll be a key player working closely with internal stakeholders to bring insight, innovation, and impact to the way we grow our entire South Island business.

Job Description

What You’ll Do

• Pre-qualify hazardous waste opportunities and guide customers to the right technical solution
• Help create solutions that are smart, sustainable, and surprisingly strategic
• Conduct commercial analysis (cost-benefit, customer profitability, lifecycle, etc.) that informs big decisions
• Shape pricing models that work for customers and make sense commercially

Hunt & Win

• Exceed new business targets - because you love chasing opportunity
• Manage a value-based sales cycle from first contact to closed deal
• Help customers navigate risk and compliance in tricky waste categories
• Respond rapidly and intelligently to urgent customer needs (this is where your curiosity meets calm under pressure)

Ask More, Find More

• Identify leads early - even in planning stages
• Dig into the why, not just the what - and uncover projects others miss
• Build and execute a Territory Plan that reflects where the real value lies
• Collaborate with technical, sale and marketing and operations teams to craft solutions and inspire great customer outcomes

Influence & Inspire

• Deliver insights that persuade and educate our customers
• Bring customer insights back into the business to keep us always improving

Qualifications

• Commercially astute - you know how to connect curiosity to value and of course ‘make a dollar’
• A confident hunter - proactive, strategic, and eager to chase opportunity
• Comfortable with complexity - from compliance to cost modelling
• Tech-enabled - AI, CRM, LinkedIn… these aren’t buzzwords to you
• A great communicator - persuasive when needed, but always listening
• Must have minimum 2 years working with chemicals and/or dangerous goods
• Preferred qualifications of an integrated masters in chemistry
