The Opportunity: Own Strategic Growth

We are seeking an ambitious, results-driven Business Development Manager to accelerate InfoAgent’s growth across New Zealand.  This role offers high autonomy and is directly accountable for our revenue growth objectives.

You will operate as the primary commercial driver - generating, developing, and closing new business opportunities from first contact through to contract execution and onboarding.  This is not a maintenance role - it is a mandate to develop and capture new market share within our core and adjacent target sectors.

Your Core Accountabilities

As the key driver of new business acquisition, you will take ownership of the following strategic responsibilities:

Pioneer the Full Sales Lifecycle: Take complete ownership of the end-to-end sales process, from targeted prospecting and pipeline generation to contract negotiation and ultimate deal closure.

Develop and Execute Strategy: Collaborate directly with the CEO to define and implement high-yield sales strategies that ensure market penetration and alignment with InfoAgent's ambitious targets.

Navigate Complexity: Expertly manage short and long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles. Skillfully navigate organisational approvals, negotiate commercial terms, and overcome complex technical and commercial objections.

Build Executive Relationships: Establish and nurture robust, professional relationships with key decision-makers (C-level, Head of Product, and Technical Leads) within our primary target markets.

Market Feedback and Influence: Act as the voice of the customer, capturing and synthesising market needs to inform product development while working closely with marketing to ensure messaging alignment.

Performance Leadership: Rigorously monitor and report on all pipeline metrics, ensuring predictability and consistency in deal closure rates.

What We Require

You are a strategic operator with a proven ability to identify, introduce, nurture, and close deals in a remote setting. You will also possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills essential for building executive-level relationships.

Proven B2B Sales Expertise: Demonstrable track record of success (5+ years) in high-growth B2B sales environments.

Domain Expertise: Strong preference for experience selling Data, API, and SaaS solutions.

Automotive/Vehicle Literacy: An understanding of the New Zealand automotive ecosystem, including vehicle life cycles is critical.

Contract and Stakeholder Mastery: Expertise in navigating intricate sales cycles, structuring contracts, and securing cross-functional stakeholder buy-in.

Growth Mindset: A clear passion for data and its direct application in solving significant business challenges for customers.

Remote Autonomy: Ability to work independently and effectively in a remote capacity, maintaining disciplined focus and alignment with company goals.

Compensation & Why Apply

We recognise and reward top-tier talent.

Exceptional Earning Potential: Highly competitive base salary, plus a high-leverage, uncapped commission structure, plus Kiwi Saver (negotiable based on experience).

Strategic Impact: Join a fast-growing, highly respected market leader and make a significant, measurable contribution to the company's trajectory within New Zealand.

Collaboration: Work alongside industry pioneers and an experienced leadership team.

Flexibility: Enjoy flexible work arrangements that support work-life integration.
