Sales Representative/Merchandiser

About Us:

You may not have heard of AMES Australasia before, but we can almost guarantee you own something we've brought to market. Our products are in the hands, sheds, homes and backyards of people all across Australia and New Zealand. We exist to design, create and efficiently supply innovative products that enhance the homes, landscapes and lifestyles of all our customers.

We are the people that bring iconic Australian heritage brands to life for modern consumers and tradies; brands like Hills, Cyclone and Kelso. We are also the container gardening experts, with Northcote Pottery. We rekindle the spark of relationships with our Glow outdoor heating products. We teach people to use water sustainably at home, to become "Nylexperts" with Nylex. And we are market leaders with brands like Tuscan Path, Australia's only brand with a holistic offering for landscaping DIYers.

At our core, though, we are problem-solvers. We put our customers' needs at the heart of our decisions, and we have been first to market with innumerable innovations over the decades, fuelled by a combination of customer insights, in-house R&D capability, and carefully selected partnerships that drive us to be better.

We can do all of this because we're really picky about who we choose to join us. We hire people who care about the work, and care for each other. We believe that organisations need to be about purpose as well as profit. And we give our people opportunities that help them realise both their personal and professional potential, through these values:

• Keep our Customers FIRST

• Have a positive, caring and family attitude

• Keep it real. open and honest… always.

• BE the change we seek

• Have a passion for winning

• Make it Happen

• Seek 'Win-Wins' for all

• Treasure creativity

• CELEBRATE… together.

We also enjoy the backing of The AMES Companies, Inc (the largest suppliers of non-powered landscaping products in the United States), as a subsidiary of Griffon Corporation (NYSE:GFF).
