    Are you a natural relationship builder with a competitive streak, a strong work ethic and the drive to make things happen?

    Blairs Supertyre Distributors is looking for an ambitious Sales Representative to take ownership of our Otago - Southland territory, grow existing customer relationships and uncover new business opportunities.

    We're not just looking for someone who can sell. We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with people, takes pride in what they do and is motivated to achieve more.

    The Opportunity

    This is an autonomous, relationship-focused sales role where you'll have the freedom and responsibility to make your territory your own.

    You'll be responsible for:
    • Managing and growing the Otago - Southland territory, developing existing accounts and winning new business.
    • Building strong, lasting relationships through regular customer visits and understanding what makes their businesses tick.
    • Identifying new opportunities, introducing customers to Blairs' products and converting prospects into long-term accounts.
    • Driving sales growth, increasing market share and growing customer spend.
    • Promoting an extensive range of established tyre brands across passenger, SUV, light commercial, truck and agricultural applications.
    • Planning your territory, managing your time and taking ownership of your results.
    You'll also enjoy a mix of independent work and connection with a supportive team who are invested in your success.

    What we're looking for

    Attitude is everything. We're looking for someone who is:
    • A great communicator: You listen, understand customer needs and follow through on what you promise.
    • A natural relationship builder: You build trust through genuine connections, reliability and consistency.
    • Hungry and ambitious: You have a strong desire to succeed, aren't afraid of hard work and are always looking for the next opportunity.
    • Commercially switched on: You understand that great sales are about more than price. You look for ways to add value and help customers grow.
    • Accountable: You take pride in your work, set high standards and are always looking to improve.
    • A self-starter: You're organised, proactive and comfortable managing your own time and territory.
    • Tech savvy: You're confident using digital tools and technology to work smarter.
    • Resilient and adaptable: You can handle challenges, think on your feet and keep moving forward.
    • A team player: You're happy working independently but know the value of having a great team behind you.
    What you'll need:
    • A full, clean driver's licence.
    • Previous experience in sales, account management or a customer-facing role.
    • Strong communication, organisation and relationship-building skills.
    • The ability to identify opportunities, develop new business and grow existing accounts.
    • Availability to travel (overnight approx. 3-4 nights per month)
    Experience in the automotive, tyre, transport or trade industries would be advantageous, but it's not essential. We're more interested in finding the right person with the right attitude and potential.
