Are you just starting out in your Marketing career and keen to develop and showcase the full extent of your capabilities? This could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

Established in 1979, Hobeca is proudly 100% New Zealand owned and operated. Over the past 40+ years, we have evolved to become a leading supplier of trade-quality tools and consumables, supporting industries ranging across electrical, engineering, automotive, paint specialty, plumbing, hardware and more. We have very ambitious growth plans which in turn offer excellent opportunities for all of our team members. We support and encourage professional development and advancement.

An integral part of our Marketing team, the Product Assistant supports the Marketing Manager and the Product Manager / Technical Training Manager, in the development, introduction, promotion and life-cycle management of Hobeca’s range of products, sourced from leading international brands.  Confidence with Microsoft Excel and Powerpoint, plus a clear communication style will be key for this role.

The role is interesting and varied, interacting with multiple stakeholders to ensure we understand our customers and offer the right products to help trades professionals to do a great job.  A unique aspect of this role is the management of our ‘Hobeca Tool School’, an online education portal for our resellers and sales team.
