Over the last few years, our business has launched several Australian first products, leading to record growth every year for the past 7 years. Further significant growth is expected over the coming years as we launch more new products that will complement Australia’s existing leading range of canine and feline vaccines and the world’s first Once-A-Year heartworm preventative for dogs.
Based in Sydney or the Blue Mountains and reporting to the Northern Region Sales Manager, you will be responsible for the management of a territory in metropolitan and regional areas which requires a willingness to travel on a routine basis. Responsibilities include promoting, detailing and selling our range of canine, feline and equine products to Veterinarians in practice. Some work also involves representing our products to end users such as dog, cat and horse owners.
You will possess excellent verbal and written communication skills, which will complement your ability to both understand and convey information of a technical nature. Your above average planning and organizational skills are a prerequisite to efficiently managing this challenging territory. PC skills are also a necessity.
Tertiary qualifications in a business or technical discipline will be highly
regarded.
This position has a strong team emphasis, and, as such, requires a committed
team player with an enthusiastic and positive approach.
