Account Manager

For over 50 years, Hynds has supplied the water and wastewater infrastructure that keeps New Zealand's communities running. It's essential work, built on long-standing relationships and trusted advice — and we're looking for an Account Manager to carry that forward in the Northern region.

This is a role for a sales professional who understands that lasting success comes from genuine partnerships, not quick wins. You'll manage and grow a territory by becoming a trusted advisor to your customers — the person contractors, councils and consultants rely on for the right solution and straight answers.

What the role involves

• Managing and growing your territory through a structured call plan and proactive prospecting
• Building strong, lasting relationships with customers, influencers and specifiers
• Managing your pipeline through our CRM and ensuring quotes and orders are accurate
• Developing genuine product expertise so you can offer sound advice and tailored solutions
• Staying informed on market conditions, project activity and competitor movements

What you'll bring

• A proven sales track record and the commercial acumen to back it up
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build rapport at every level
• A proactive, results-focused approach with excellent attention to detail
• The ability to manage competing priorities in a busy environment
• A full NZ Driver Licence (Class 1); an F endorsement is an advantage

Product knowledge can be taught — if you're a capable salesperson who genuinely enjoys working with people, we'd encourage you to apply even if you're new to the industry.

You won't be doing it alone
You'll report to a Regional Sales Manager with the full support of the Hynds network behind you — our branches, technical services, internal sales and manufacturing teams. When a job is complex, you'll have experienced people to draw on. Your focus is the customer relationship; we'll support you with everything else.

What we offer

• Company vehicle
• Health insurance (subject to eligibility)
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Access to company partner discounts
