Are you a sales-driven hunter with a strategic edge?

Do you thrive on winning high-value business and building long-term commercial partnerships? If you’re ready to own the Dunedin and Otago patch, lead from the front, and chase down opportunities in the specialist battery sector—this role was built for you.

At HCB Technologies, we don’t just supply batteries; we provide power solutions. As our Business Development Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind our regional growth. This isn’t just a "road warrior" role—it’s a blend of high-level sales execution and branch-level leadership. You will be:

• Proactively hunting new business: Unlocking untapped potential across automotive, marine, and industrial sectors.
• Deepening regional relationships: Becoming the go-to partner for our most valuable accounts and specialist trade customers.
• Executing Branch Strategy: Working closely with the Dunedin team to ensure our local operations align with your growth targets.
• Using Data to Win: Leveraging our industry-leading market intel to outmanoeuvre the competition and identify "whitespace" opportunities.
• Representing the Power of Bapcor: Utilizing the scale of HCB and the wider Bapcor network (BNT, Autolign, JAS, and more) to deliver unmatched value.

We’re looking for more than a sales rep—we need a commercial specialist, a results machine, and a confident negotiator. You will be the face of HCB in the South, making smart plays and delivering big wins.
What You’ll Bring…

• A Proven Track Record: Success in B2B, trade, or distribution sales (preferably within the automotive or industrial sectors).
• Strategic Territory Management: Confidence with CRM tools, customer profiling, and managing a wide geographical "patch."
• Professional Resilience: A natural hunter mindset—persistent, proactive, and capable of turning a "no" into a long-term contract.
• Communication Excellence: Strong written and oral skills with the ability to influence stakeholders from the workshop floor to the boardroom.
• Local Leadership: The ability to collaborate with branch staff and drivers to ensure the "last mile" of customer service matches your sales promise.

Bonus Points Available For…

• Experience in the battery specialist or electrical trade industry.
• Key account management experience or existing networks within the Otago trade community (e.g., Capricorn).
• Technical aptitude for specialist power solutions (Marine, Solar, or Deep Cycle).
