After two decades of successful growth, we are looking for a new Sales Director to join our leadership team. We are looking for a skilled, experienced, emotionally intelligent leader, who can positively challenge our status quo and take things to the next level.

We don’t want just anyone. We want a unique, experienced, passionate individual with bags of personality. We want you to wow us! You are a leader, a relationship-builder, a collaborator, a strategic-thinker, and you positively energise everyone you come into contact with. Quality sales data makes you swoon, and you know how to translate it into rewarding tactics.

You have the ability to shake things up while nurturing the team. You thrive leading change and have the experience to positively challenge and push us to be the best Boost we can be.
