Ready to Fill Some Big Shoes?

After an incredible 33 years of service, our long-standing Territory Manager is retiring, leaving behind a legacy of strong customer relationships, outstanding sales results, and a reputation that has become synonymous with success. This is a rare opportunity to step into a well-established territory and continue building on that success.

We're looking for an exceptional Territory Manager based in Wellington who will be supported by a passionate and successful sales team that is committed to helping you succeed.

About the Role

As Territory Manager, you'll be responsible for maintaining and growing relationships across your territory, identifying new business opportunities, and delivering outstanding service to our customers.

• Work for a business that values its people and customers
• Make your mark while building on an outstanding legacy
• Enjoy a rewarding role with opportunities for growth and development

The Opportunity

This is more than just replacing a retiree—it's about continuing a success story. We're looking for someone who respects the legacy that has been built over the past three decades while bringing fresh ideas, energy, and ambition to help drive the territory forward.
