Exceptional Sales Professional Account Manager Wellington Region

Exceptional Sales Professional - Account Manager – Wellington Region

Build relationships. Create opportunities. Deliver on your word.

Milsons is looking for an exceptional and high performing account manager and business development expert to join a successful sales team representing our business in the Wellington market. This is a senior sales role for someone who combines commercial drive with outstanding relationship skills, integrity and a genuine desire to deliver for customers.

About Milsons

Milsons is a fourth-generation, New Zealand-owned family business specialising in high-quality fastenings and engineering supplies, with branches in Auckland, Wellington (Petone) and Hamilton and our head office in Palmerston North.

We’ve built our reputation by getting the fundamentals right: understanding our customers, delivering on our promises and backing our people to succeed. We’re a growing business with exciting plans for the future.

At Milsons, humble, hungry and smart are the mindsets we expect from every team member. They underpin the behaviours that bring our values to life every day.

The Opportunity

As Account Manager, you’ll be a key face of Milsons in Wellington, winning new business and growing relationships across construction, manufacturing, civil and reseller channels.

This isn’t a role for someone who simply wants to maintain a portfolio. We want someone who enjoys opening doors, understands what makes customers tick and creates genuine value.

You’ll be joining a well-established and successful team and will have the support to build your market, backed by an experienced team and a business with ambitious plans for continued growth.

What You'll Do

· Proactively identify, pursue and win new business

· Build trusted, long-term customer relationships and grow existing accounts

· Develop and execute sales plans with the wider team, working closely with the Branch Manager to align activity and deliver results.

· Understand customer needs and turn them into commercial opportunities

· Maintain strong CRM discipline and use data to identify opportunities

· Own customer issues and follow through on commitments.

What We're Looking For

You’re an accomplished B2B salesperson with a strong track record of winning new business and growing accounts. Formal sales training or a demonstrated, structured sales methodology will be highly regarded.

You make an excellent first impression, communicate confidently at all levels and build relationships that last. You’re commercially sharp, proactive and comfortable asking for the business.

Most importantly, your word means something. If you say you’ll do something, you do it.

Industry experience is useful but not essential. We’d rather hire an outstanding salesperson with the right character and capability than someone who simply knows the products.

You’ll also demonstrate the humble, hungry, smart mindset we expect from everyone at Milsons.

What's in It for You?

You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of your part of the Wellington market, access to senior leadership support, and the opportunity to make your mark in an established New Zealand business with ambitious growth plans.

A competitive remuneration package, including a generous base salary and uncapped incentive scheme, is on offer.

If you’re an exceptional salesperson who wants to build something, not simply inherit a territory, we’d like to hear from you.

We’ll be reviewing applications as they come in, so don’t delay!
