Lead one of New Zealand's most complex and strategically important operational assets.
Let’s take care of work that matters - people, place and purpose. From roads to recycling to reporting, everyone at WM New Zealand helps take care of our people, protect our whenua and support our communities.
We’re more than waste management – we’re problem solvers, innovators, and hands-on doers. Every one of us, whether behind the wheel, on the tools, or shaping strategy behind the scenes, is helping build a better Aotearoa.
WM New Zealand is seeking a passionate and results-driven individual to take on the role of Technical Business Development Manager.
As Waste Management's Tyre Recycling Division continues to expand, we are seeking a Technical Business Development Manager to help establish our tyre-derived products (TDP) business as an industry leader.
This is not a traditional sales role. We're looking for someone with a strong technical mindset, ideally supported by experience in mechanical engineering, materials engineering, manufacturing, or industrial processing. You'll work closely with customers to identify opportunities, develop new applications, and provide technical expertise that enables the successful adoption of tyre-derived products across a range of industries.
Success in this role will come from building trusted relationships, understanding customer processes, and collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to create innovative, commercially sustainable solutions. You will play a key role in developing new markets and positioning WM Tyre Recycling at the forefront of the TDP sector.
Our expert team handles the high-risk, high-stakes stuff – and we do it with innovation, safety and our customer need as our key purpose. We’re in the problem-solving business.
If you’re someone who’s constantly asking, “What’s next”, or “How could this be done better?” and ready to lead the conversation, this is for you!
The role you’ll play.
This isn’t your average sales gig.
You’ll be at the intersection of curiosity and commerce - hunting new business opportunities, shaping pricing strategies, and guiding clients through complex hazardous waste challenges.
As our Business Development Sales Manager, you'll be at the forefront of our growth strategy, develop innovative sales initiatives, and nurture client relationships. From conducting compelling sales presentations to closing deals and expanding our customer base, every day will bring new opportunities for success.
Solve. Learn. Repeat.
What you’ll need.
You’re an excellent communicator with strong commercial acumen with a natural flair for leveraging key contracts. You’re motivated, realistic and self-sufficient. You are a natural at building strong relationships. You are a confident self-starter and have the ability to seek out additional opportunities in a highly competitive market.
If you're ready to take your career to the next level and be part of a company that's shaping the future of waste management, then WM New Zealand is the place for you. Apply now and start your journey towards a rewarding career with us!
