Mark-it Labels are a NZ based company who design and print a wide range of self adhesive labels for a large number of household name companies. We are currently looking for an experienced Business Development Manager to drive our sales revenue in the upper North Island region.

Reporting directly to the General Manager, you will need to be a results driven and successful sales professional with proven experience in exceeding targets in the B2B sector. You will be accustomed to working independently and spending most of your time out on the road. The upper North Island territory holds a number of our key accounts so the ability to build long term profitable relationships is paramount. You will also need to be a real sales hunter and enjoy developing new business and cold calling on a daily basis. Although we are not looking for someone who has specifically worked in our industry, a previous working knowledge of the FMCG, manufacturing or food related sectors would be an advantage. Some out of town travel will be required, around 4 days per month.

If you think you have what it takes and enjoy working in a close knit team environment where every day is different then we would love to hear from you.
