Home Automation Sales Specialist
Passionate about tech, people, and creating exceptional home experiences? If you're a natural connector who loves building something new, we want to hear from you.
Unicom Intelligent Building (UIB) is a subsidiary of Unicom New Zealand - a leading ICT provider established in 2011 with a combined group turnover of approximately $45 million NZD. With 15 years of operation and offices in Auckland, Christchurch, and Sydney, UIB specialises in delivering end-to-end intelligent building technology solutions for hotels, residential apartments, retirement villages, and commercial developments across New Zealand and Australia.
UIB is now launching a dedicated residential channel - bringing their world-class smart home and home automation solutions direct to New Zealand homeowners. Think premium AV, intelligent lighting, security, climate control, and full-home automation - all integrated seamlessly under one provider. To grow this exciting new B2C market, UIB is looking for a sales-savvy Home Automation Sales Specialist who knows how to engage everyday consumers and build a pipeline from scratch.
The Opportunity
This is a new-business B2C role with genuine autonomy. You'll own the residential sales channel - attending home expos, building referral networks, running digital lead generation, and converting warm prospects into loyal customers. If you've sold to homeowners before - whether in real estate, interior design, or premium consumer products - you already know what it takes to win trust and close.
What You'll Do
· Drive B2C sales of UIB's smart home and home automation solutions to residential homeowners across Auckland and beyond
· Represent UIB at home expos, lifestyle shows, and community events to generate leads and build brand awareness
· Establish and execute digital marketing strategies - social media, paid ads, email campaigns - to generate and nurture a B2C pipeline
· Conduct in-home or virtual consultations to understand client needs and present tailored smart home packages
· Guide clients from initial enquiry through to signed agreement - managing the full sales cycle
· Work closely with UIB's technical delivery team to ensure smooth handover and client satisfaction post-sale
· Track and report on pipeline, conversion rates, and lead sources to continuously improve performance
What You'll Bring
· Proven B2C sales experience - backgrounds in real estate, interior design, home products, or premium consumer goods are highly regarded
· Confidence at home expos, trade shows, or consumer-facing events - you know how to attract and engage a crowd
· Hands-on digital marketing experience - social media, paid advertising, lead generation, or email campaigns
· Strong ability to build rapport quickly and guide consumers through a considered purchase decision
· Self-motivated with a hunter mentality - you don't wait for leads to come to you
· Tech-savvy with the ability to explain smart home products in plain language - no deep technical background required
· Excellent presentation and communication skills - polished, professional, and personable
What's on Offer
· Base salary + commission + car allowance
· A genuinely exciting product - sell smart home technology that transforms the way people live
· Autonomy to build a new B2C channel - this is your opportunity to shape something from the ground up
· St Johns location with onsite parking
· Full-time, permanent role
· Strong backing from an established ICT group with proven technology and real project references
· Career progression opportunities across the wider Unicom business
· Tools of the trade provided
