Own your region. Build relationships that last. Drive trade growth for one of Australia's most iconic design brands — and take your career somewhere worth going.

The King Difference

This is not a relationship management role with a BDM title. This is a senior commercial role with genuine accountability — and the autonomy to match. As our Trade BDM for Perth, you own a defined portfolio of high-value trade partners and you are measured on outcomes: portfolio growth, conversion, partner depth, and execution quality.

You will work closely with our Perth showroom teams to embed trade as a core capability, not a parallel channel. You will coach, influence, and hold people accountable. You will manage a pipeline with discipline and translate data into decisions that drive results.

If you are a commercially sharp trade professional who is ready to own a region and build something — this is the role that gives you the platform to do it.
