Account Manager - East Auckland

Service Foods is one of New Zealand’s leading foodservice businesses – proudly Kiwi-owned and operated, with a strong national footprint, broad product range, and deep customer relationships across the market.

They are now looking for an Account Manager to take ownership of the East Auckland territory, covering the area from Howick through to Pukekohe. This is a role with strong variety, combining account management with new business development in a fast-moving, highly competitive market.

This is a great opportunity for a commercially driven salesperson who enjoys being out in market, building trust, solving customer needs, and winning business in a high-SKU, service-led environment.

• Own and grow an East Auckland customer portfolio across a broad foodservice territory
• Manage a mix of existing accounts while actively pursuing new business opportunities
• Build structured call cycles across key customers, with regular weekly and fortnightly engagement
• Develop strong relationships across a varied customer base including restaurants, bakeries and takeaway outlets
• Work closely with internal support teams, including telesales, to maximise territory coverage and effectiveness
• Operate in a competitive, price-sensitive market where value-based selling is critical
• Manage a complex product offering and identify opportunities to grow revenue across the portfolio

You’ll be a hungry, energetic and commercially sharp sales professional who knows how to balance relationship management with proactive business development.

You’ll bring structure to your week, consistency in your customer approach, and the drive to build long-term revenue growth.

Industry experience would be beneficial, but it is not essential. What matters most is your ability to sell in a fast-paced environment, manage complexity, and build credibility with customers.

• Proven success in sales, account management or business development
• Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to create trust with customers quickly
• A proactive and disciplined approach to territory management and call planning
• Confidence identifying and converting new business opportunities

• Join one of New Zealand’s leading foodservice businesses with a strong market presence
• Established territory with a solid customer base and real growth opportunity
• A role that combines relationship management and business development
• Strong internal support, including telesales assistance across smaller accounts
• Competitive salary package including company vehicle, tools of trade, bonus and uncapped commission
• Opportunity to make your mark in a business that values energy, consistency and commercial drive
