Our client, Building ConneXion Limited (BCL) – better known as ITM
– is a long-standing, trusted supplier of building materials to trades and DIY customers across the wider Nelson–Tasman region. They’re proud of their strong relationships and reputation for service that goes the extra mile.
Tech 5 has been engaged to help them find their next
Key Account Manager
to join their Trade team. This is a hands-on, relationship-driven role suited to someone who enjoys being out on the road, building partnerships with customers, and helping them get what they need to get the job done right.
You will predominantly be based in and around Motueka, but covering the wider Nelson/Tasman area
What the job involves
· You’ll take charge of an established portfolio of trade and commercial customers, building on those relationships while hunting out new opportunities to grow business across the region.
· You’ll work closely with ITM’s sales and operations teams to deliver top-notch service, making sure your customers get expert advice and accurate, timely support.
· No two days are the same – one day you might be meeting a builder on-site to help plan supply for a project, and the next you could be negotiating terms for a new contract or checking in with long-term accounts to ensure everything’s running smoothly.
· You’ll represent the ITM brand with integrity and enthusiasm, helping to maintain the strong reputation they’ve built for service, reliability, and genuine partnership.
Who will thrive in this role
· You’re a people person through and through – someone who builds trust quickly and takes pride in keeping customers happy.
· You bring a positive, proactive attitude and the drive to hit your sales and margin goals.
· You enjoy variety, autonomy, and getting out and about rather than sitting behind a desk all day.
· You have a background that helps you understand the world our Trades customers live in - perhaps you used to be a builder, or you come from a parallel industry.
· Experience in the building supplies industry or a similar account management role are highly preferred and will help you hit the ground running, but great communication skills, a practical mindset, and the ability to follow through are what really count.
· You’ll need to have a full and clean class 1 drivers’ licence for this position.
What’s on offer
· Permanent, full-time position with a respected, locally owned brand
· Competitive salary
· Company vehicle (including use for travel to and from work)
· Supportive team culture and opportunities to grow your career
If you’re ready to make your mark in a role that combines people, product, and performance – we’d love to hear from you.
