Develop a deep understanding of customer needs, contract cycles, and supply arrangements to proactively position Essity solutions.
Monitor market trends, competitor activity, and industry developments to identify growth opportunities and strengthen market position.
Drive consistent use of CRM systems, sales tools, and established sales processes.
Collaborate with Sales Leadership, Marketing, Supply Chain, Customer Service, and distributor partners to deliver aligned commercial outcomes.
Contribute to broader business initiatives and projects that support organizational priorities.
Champion Essity’s values of Care, Courage, Collaboration, and Commitment.
Who You Are
You are an experienced business development professional who understands how to drive growth through both direct customer engagement and strategic distribution partnerships. You bring strong commercial acumen, a customer-first mindset, and the ability to navigate complex healthcare procurement environments. Ideally, you have experience working within the healthcare, aged care, pharmacy, medical products, or healthcare distribution sectors and understand how large distributor networks operate within New Zealand.
You will bring:
Extensive experience in Business Development, Sales Management, or a related commercial leadership role within healthcare.
Demonstrated success achieving and exceeding sales growth targets.
Experience leading, coaching, and developing sales professionals to achieve outstanding results.
Strong knowledge of the New Zealand healthcare market, including Residential Aged Care and Te Whatu Ora environments.
Proven ability to identify customer opportunities and convert insights into successful growth strategies.
Commercial expertise in contracts, tenders, and business agreements.
Excellent relationship-building, presentation, negotiation, and influencing skills.
A data-driven approach to forecasting, pipeline management, and decision-making.
Strong proficiency with CRM platforms, sales reporting tools, and Microsoft Office applications.
Tertiary qualifications in Business, Commerce, Science, or a related discipline.
Adaptability, resilience, and the ability to perform effectively in evolving and ambiguous environments.
