Reporting directly to our Managing Director, we are seeking to bring in a driven IT consulting sales professional with a knack for building great relationships with technology leaders and executives, and someone savvy enough to nurture and win opportunities for consulting work in both new and existing clients. We're looking for someone who can uncover and develop a range of consulting assignments ranging from Staff Augmentation to Team or Squad as-a-Service, right through to high-level Advisory engagements for our key thought leaders. Working in conjunction with our existing Wellington business development team, all of your efforts will focus on a range of commercial enterprise, mid-tier and government accounts within the Auckland region.

We need someone who can take the platform we have already built in the Auckland region and take it to the next level as the market shifts back into growth mode through 2025 and beyond. This role is pivotal to the next stage of our journey to scale, so you'll play a key part within our wider leadership team and will drive our success in the Auckland market.

• Driving Success:You'll lead the charge in building pipelines of work, setting and beating sales targets and have full autonomy to shape your go-to-market strategy with complete accountability to make things happen.

What you bring to the table

• You have a proven track record in sales or business development in the IT Consulting or IT Recruitment space and love the challenge of finding and delivering to new business opportunities.
• You know how to communicate, negotiate, and close deals in a professional context, and you're not afraid to cold call if that's what it takes to get results.
• You're organised, proactive and comfortable working independently whilst still thriving as part of a connected team.
• You're ready to take on new challenges, handle multiple projects, and embrace opportunities for growth.
