Business Development Manager (Builders)

Are you looking for a new opportunity to make a real impact? Join us at Enable, where you can work with a dedicated team and contribute to the Ōtautahi community. This could be your next big move! 

Who are we?  

Enable is the fibre broadband network provider for greater Ōtautahi. We connect more than fibre broadband – we connect people and communities. We’re committed to helping make Christchurch a better place for our community to live, work and do business. We strive to be customer-led, understanding the unique needs of our customers and wider community, and working together to deliver experiences that delight, and build trust.  

As a certified B Corp, we’re committed to being a force for good. This means our team is dedicated to making a positive impact on our community and the environment, ensuring that our growth and success benefit everyone.

The role 

As a Business Development Manager – Builders, you’ll be the key link between the building community and the teams delivering fibre on the ground. You’ll work closely with builders from early conversations through to completed builds helping them plan ahead, understand what’s possible, and make fibre a seamless part of every project.

Your days will be a mix of site visits, face-to-face conversations, planning discussions and internal collaboration. You’ll spend time understanding how your customers work, what matters to them, and how we can support better outcomes — not just today, but over the long term. This isn’t a transactional sales role; it’s about trust, consistency and being someone builders genuinely want to work with.

Internally, you’ll be a strong advocate for your customers, working alongside service and delivery teams to coordinate timing, solve problems early and keep things moving smoothly. Externally, you’ll be seen as a knowledgeable, reliable partner who helps make builds easier and future-ready.

If you enjoy building relationships, being out in the field, and guiding customers through a journey rather than chasing quick wins, this role will suit you perfectly.

What you'll be doing:

• Build and nurture strong, long-term relationships with builders and developers


• Identifying new fibre installation opportunities across upcoming builds and developments


• Champion the benefits of proactive fibre installs and Enable’s delivery experience


• Work closely with internal delivery teams to ensure a seamless customer journey


• Bring builder insights and market intelligence back into the wider commercial team


• Represent Enable positively across projects, meetings and industry events

A little more about you:

• Previous experience in business development, account management where you’ve built and managed relationships and know how to get results


• Solid background in building, property, infrastructure or telecommunications where you understand how projects work and the people involved


• Strong commercial instincts and confidence with senior stakeholders with the ability to have meaningful and value-led conversations


• Naturally good at building trust and following things through – people are going to reply on you


• Have a natural curiosity, be resilient and full of energy – you’ll be out and about making things happen
