Account Manager

WHAT'S THE ROLE?

We have an exciting opportunity to join one of Hilti New Zealand's Sales team in New Plymouth. As an Account Manager at Hilti, you will be trusted to use your expertise to implement sales strategies, create long term customer relationships, introduce new innovative products and services and explore new markets.

If you thrive on supporting existing customers and have the drive to captivate and capture new customer partners, this is the role for you

WHO IS HILTI?

Hilti provides leading-edge tools, technologies, software and services for the global construction sector. We have a proud heritage, built over 80 years, and a worldwide reputation for pioneering products and exceptional service. With 30,000 people in more than 120 countries, which we’re looking to expand, we’re a great place for you to show us your worth, step up to new challenges and grow your career.

WHAT DOES THE ROLE INVOLVE?

As an Account Manager, no two days are the same, but you’ll spend most of your time with our customers, wherever they’re busy working, to find out how we can partner them and demonstrate the various Hilti solutions.

Far from traditional cold calling, it’s about nurturing and fostering relationships, developing contacts on site with warm customers and helping them find the most innovative and cost-efficient solutions for their needs.

You'll need to be happy to get your hands dirty but also be able to adapt your approach to the customer in front of you - it could be a senior management team one day and a sole trader the next, and you could find yourself on construction sites or in offices and warehouses. This means rolling up your sleeves to demonstrate some of the most innovative products in the industry, along with all the services and after-care support that come with the Hilti name.

This is a permanent role based on a 40-hour work week.

**Hilti is committed to diversity: 127 different nationalities work together every day in our team of over 30,000 employees worldwide**

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

We really value our people and we've worked hard to develop a reward package that reflects this. Some of our benefits include:

- Career advancement (more than 80% of all leadership roles are filled internally)
- Competitive salary and above-average performance bonus
- Overseas training experience in first 6 months (Singapore)
- Life Insurance cover
- Private Health Insurance and Employee Assistance Programme
- Paid birthday leave
- Paid leave to work on charitable projects
- Wellness subsidy to support an activity for your physical or mental health

WHAT YOU NEED IS:
You’ll be part of a supportive, field-based team with colleagues in Wellington and also positioned around the lower North Island. We’ll teach you everything you need to know about our products, the IT systems you’ll use on the job and advanced sales skills - you just need to be motivated to learn. Construction industry experience will be a plus but not essential.

Other key attributes include, but not limited to:

- Customer-facing sales experience is a must, regardless of product or service
- Value / solution selling mindset
- Drive for results and the drive to outperform
- Customer facing experience is essential
- Ability to demonstrate that you're a flexible team player with a hunger to learn
- Resilience and adaptability to environment such as at the construction sites and offices
- A full, clean Driver's License
- New Zealand working rights
- High learning agility
