Lead the strategic relationships behind one of New Zealand’s most iconic automotive brands.

Mercedes‑Benz Vans New Zealand is seeking an accomplished Key Account Manager to take ownership of our most significant national fleet partnerships. This is a senior, high-impact role suited to an experienced professional who thrives on autonomy, strategic relationship building, and delivering real commercial results.

About The Role

As the Key Account Manager for Mercedes‑Benz Vans, you will be the primary champion for our largest fleet customers — influencing their vehicle strategy, shaping long‑term partnerships, and driving Mercedes‑Benz’s Vans success across New Zealand’s commercial vehicle market. You’ll work at a national level, managing multi‑site accounts and engaging directly with senior decision‑makers across different corporate sectors. This role is ideal for someone who wants to step into a highly respected brand, make an immediate impact, and lead relationships that truly matter.

What You’ll Do

Strategic Client Leadership

  • Build, deepen, and retain relationships with key national fleet operators and high‑value corporate clients.
  • Engage with senior executives to understand business models, operational challenges, and long‑term growth plans.
  • Develop tailored proposals, fleet strategies, and renewal frameworks that strengthen customer loyalty and secure future business.
  • Represent the Mercedes‑Benz Vans brand with executive presence, confidence, and professionalism.

Commercial Strategy & Growth

  • Own and deliver account strategies aligned to national volume, profitability, and brand objectives.
  • Proactively identify new revenue streams across existing accounts and market sectors.
  • Analyse fleet behaviour, market changes, and competitor activity to inform commercial decisions.
  • Shape partnership structures, pricing discussions, and contract negotiations with high‑level stakeholders.
  • Cross‑Functional Influence

  • Work closely with sales, marketing, product planning, and aftersales teams to deliver seamless, premium client experiences.
  • Lead internal collaboration to ensure consistent communication, aftersales support, and long‑term customer satisfaction.
  • Act as the “voice of the customer,” providing insights to guide product strategy and operational improvements.
  • What You Bring

  • Significant experience in Key Account Management, Fleet Sales, B2B Relationship Management, or a comparable strategic role.
  • A proven history of managing large, complex accounts with multiple stakeholders.
  • Strong commercial acumen and confidence working with high‑value contracts and long‑term agreements.
  • Exceptional communication, negotiation, and influencing capabilities.
  • A proactive, solutions‑driven mindset and the ability to balance strategy with hands‑on delivery.
  • A passion for premium brands and a commitment to excellence in customer experience.
  • Why Join NZCD & Mercedes‑Benz

    Joining NZCD means stepping into one of the most respected automotive brands in the country — backed by a supportive team, innovative products, and a clear commitment to the future of mobility. You will :

  • Own relationships that directly shape the commercial success of Mercedes‑Benz Vans in New Zealand.
  • Work at a senior level with national fleets and major commercial customers.
  • Enjoy the autonomy to lead, influence, and drive meaningful outcomes.
  • Be part of a high‑performing, collaborative team with strong professional development pathways.
