Sales Manager - ENI
Sales Manager | Utilities & Infrastructure
Ready to lead, influence, and make your mark in a sector that keeps New Zealand moving?
We're searching for a commercially savvy Sales Manager to drive growth, strengthen customer relationships, and inspire a high-performing sales team within the utilities and infrastructure market.
While this role leads a sales team, we're not solely looking for career sales managers. Candidates from project management, operational leadership, commercial management, contract management or other customer-facing leadership roles within the electricity sector are encouraged to apply.
The ideal person understands the power industry, knows the key players, enjoys building relationships and can contribute strategically to business growth. If you've spent your career working alongside electricity networks, utilities, contractors or transmission businesses and have experience leading people, this could be an outstanding opportunity to take your career in a new direction.
You'll bring expertise in one or both of the following:
Strong industry experience within the electricity sector, particularly transmission, distribution, lines, or network operations.
Proven success leading and coaching sales teams, with a track record of winning new business and building high-performance cultures.
If you're a standout performer in either area, we'd still love to hear from you.
What you'll be doing
Leading and developing a successful sales team
Driving new business growth and expanding market presence
Building trusted relationships with key customers and industry stakeholders
Identifying opportunities across major infrastructure projects and asset owners
Shaping commercial strategy and delivering measurable results
This is a chance to step into a highly visible leadership role where you'll have genuine influence on business performance, customer success, and future growth.

About Paragon - The Agency for People
Great people decisions start well before a vacancy exists. We work with your team on headcount forecasting, team design, and the capability you’ll need next, so when a role does open it is already part of a plan we built together. The support continues long after the role is filled.
Partnership: We work closely with your team and get to know the business properly.
Transparency: You always know what’s happening and where things stand.
Fit: We look beyond the role to the culture, values and team around it, making sure the person strengthens the organisation, not just fills the vacancy.
Commercial: We design people solutions that make sense for your business, connecting people plans to business plans.
We don’t play agency games. We focus on good people, good process, and being a partner who truly cares about the people behind your business.
