Do you love connecting with people and helping businesses grow? At Spark Business Hub Manawatu, we partner with thousands of local businesses to help them succeed in an ever-changing digital world.

The Role

This is a fantastic entry-level role to kickstart (or level up!) your B2B sales career. As our SME Telephone Account Manager, you’ll be based in our Palmerston North office, managing a portfolio of local small business customers. Your job? Build strong relationships, deliver excellent customer experiences, and introduce our clients to digital solutions that can transform their business.

You’ll spend your day:

• Talking to business owners and decision-makers

• Supporting and advising clients on the right Spark solutions

• Spotting opportunities to grow and add value

• Thriving in a fast-paced, desk-based environment where no two days are the same

Experience in call centre or outbound sales is a bonus – but not essential. This role is a great way to sharpen your communication skills and become a pro at building rapport quickly.

About You

We’re not looking for “just another salesperson.” We’re looking for someone who:

• Loves talking to people and solving problems

• Is open, honest, and generous with their time

• Brings a “can-do” attitude and a willingness to learn

• Is curious about technology and passionate about helping businesses succeed

• Thrives in a collaborative, supportive team environment

What You’ll Need

• At least 1 year of customer service or sales experience (retail or call centre welcome)

• Great written and verbal communication skills

• A friendly, approachable personality

• A strong work ethic and self-motivated mindset

• A genuine passion for delivering awesome customer experiences
