Sales Director

Overview
Are you a commercially minded, purpose-driven sales leader who loves building new markets, shaping strategy, and closing complex deals? Do you thrive on collaboration, pace, and creating clarity in fast-moving environments? If being part of an organisation that values authenticity, inclusion, and meaningful local impact matters to you — we’d love to hear from you.
At Slalom, personal connection meets global scale.
Our vision is to enable a world in which everyone loves their work and life.
We help organisations redefine what’s possible, give shape to the future — and get there.
We’re looking for a Sales Director to drive growth and leadership for Slalom’s Wellington market, with a focus on the public sector and large-scale transformation.
This is a senior, high-impact role for someone who is part coach, part deal-maker, part builder — a leader who combines strategic insight with commercial rigour to build presence, trust, and momentum in Aotearoa’s capital.
What You’ll Do
Lead strategic pursuits end-to-end, bringing structure, clarity, and commercial discipline.
Own and deliver a clear sales plan with measurable outcomes and pipeline accuracy.
Build trusted relationships across public-sector agencies, partners, and executive networks.
Develop and execute Wellington’s go-to-market strategy, driving visibility, partnerships, and growth.
Translate complex client challenges into clear, outcome-driven proposals and delivery models.
Partner closely with consulting, delivery, and alliance teams to ensure seamless execution and client impact.
Mentor and coach others in pursuit excellence, storytelling, and commercial leadership.
What You’ll Bring
A proven track record of multi-million-dollar target attainment in consulting or technology services.
Experience driving growth in high-growth or scale-up environments, ideally with market-building accountability.
Deep understanding of the Wellington and New Zealand public sector ecosystem, with strong senior relationships.
Mastery of structured sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDICC, Challenger).
Strong commercial acumen and confidence in complex contract negotiation.
Strategic thinker with a passion for modern business, emerging technology, and the why behind transformation.
Organised, proactive, and accountable — you bring structure, not chaos.
A self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and leads with clarity, collaboration, and pace.
About Us
In 2023 Slalom opened their first New Zealand office in Auckland, as part of our expansion into the Asia-Pacific region.
Two years later, we have over 50 professionals who, in collaboration with our alliance partners, have built our brand in Aotearoa through delivering high value outcomes that serve the strategic, technological, business and transformational needs of our cross-sector customers.
In 2025, we will launch our second regional office, in Wellington, to support our continued growth and drive our strategic expansion into the Public Sector.
As one of our first hires in Wellington, with a business builder mindset, a robust professional network and the capability to craft your personal brand and profile within the industry, you will have the rare opportunity to help shape Slalom’s trajectory in New Zealand and establish our presence in this new market.
