Job Description

We’re looking for a driven Business Development professional to take ownership of Halo’s growth across Taranaki, Hawkes Bay, Manawatu-Wanganui and Wellington regions. This is a hands-on sales role for someone who thrives on getting out on farm, opening doors and turning relationships into business.

  • Build and manage a strong sales pipeline in HubSpot.
  • Develop relationships with farmers, contractors, suppliers and industry partners to generate new business.
  • Grow sales across Halo’s wider offering, including grain silo, milk vat and chemical monitoring.
  • Strengthen the dealer network and identify opportunities to win customers from competing solutions.
  • Support existing customers and identify opportunities for further growth.
  • Prepare accurate quotes and work with dealers through installation and commissioning.

  • Proven success in business development and solution sales, with strong commercial acumen.
  • A confident communicator and natural relationship builder.
  • CRM experience, ideally HubSpot.
  • Agriculture, dairy, irrigation or agri-tech experience is an advantage.
  • Comfortable travelling and spending time in market.
  • Professional, safety-conscious and motivated to deliver results.
