We connect great NZ businesses with high-caliber, fully remote global talent.

OVERVIEW:

We’re looking for a true hunter to own the New Zealand market. You’ll drive new business through a mix of outbound prospecting and inbound leads, run a tight end-to-end sales process, and then hand over to our recruitment team to deliver. No recruiting or sourcing required-just the fun part.

• Represent Pear Tree’s ethical, transparent model in every client conversation
• Report into the two owners

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

NICE TO HAVE:

• Existing connections with NZ businesses likely to leverage remote/global hiring
