This Palmerston North based position revolves around growing business in a competitive environment through development and execution of a sound sales plan, delivering first class service to clients and candidates alike, leading a team and operating within the risk management parameters of the company as a whole.

Your main focus will be to meet and exceed branch GP & Revenue targets along with developing a team of consultants who are achieving their personal targets.

We are looking for a driven, outgoing individual who is passionate about client and candidate satisfaction as well as growing a high performing team. You will have a good understanding of the local economy, the people and the down to earth patriotic nature we have in this part of the world.
