Account Manager (Sewing & Craft) - territory growth leader!

Account Manager (Sewing & Craft) - Territory Growth Expert!

Queensland | Full-Time | On-the-Road Sales & Business Development

Grow a Territory. Build Relationships. Become a Category Expert.

At Brother International Australia, we're looking for an energetic, commercially minded sales professional who thrives in front of customers, loves building business, and is ready to take ownership of a high-potential territory.

This isn't a traditional Account Manager role.

We're looking for someone who combines the strategic thinking of an Account Manager with the drive, initiative and hunting mentality of a Business Development Manager.

You’ll spend most of your time on the road, partnering with retailers, identifying growth opportunities, delivering product training, and helping our customers grow their businesses.

If you're passionate about building relationships, spotting opportunities, and turning ideas into results—we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

As our Queensland Account Manager (Sewing & Craft), you'll be responsible for growing sales and market share across an established dealer network while identifying and developing new business opportunities.

You’ll work closely with customers to understand their business, provide commercial recommendations, deliver product demonstrations and training, and drive profitable growth across the territory.

This is a highly autonomous role suited to someone who is proactive, self‑motivated and enjoys being out in the market making things happen.

What You'll Be Doing

Drive Territory Growth

- Develop and execute territory growth plans.
- Identify and secure current business opportunities.
- Grow sales, distribution and market share across existing and new accounts.




- Protect margins whilst maximising revenue opportunities.
- Identify gaps in the market and provide recommendations to drive category growth.

Build Strategic Customer Partnerships

- Develop strong, trusted relationships with retailers and business owners.
- Conduct regular customer visits and business reviews.
- Collaborate with customers on sales, promotional and growth initiatives.
- Provide insights and recommendations based on market trends and commercial analysis.

Become a Product Champion

- Learn Brother's sewing and craft product range inside and out.
- Deliver engaging in-store training, demonstrations and workshops.
- Support dealers with technical knowledge and product expertise.
- Confidently communicate product benefits and solutions to customers.

Be Visible in the Market

- Maintain a high level of customer engagement through regular travel.
- Attend trade shows, exhibitions and industry events.
- Represent Brother professionally and consistently across the territory.

What We’re Looking For

You may currently be:

- A Business Development Manager looking to broaden your strategic account management experience.
- An Account Manager who excels at winning business, not just maintaining accounts.
- A Territory Manager in consumer goods, retail, textiles, craft, hobby, lifestyle or adjacent categories.

You’ll Bring:

- Proven success in business development and territory growth.




- Robust commercial acumen with the ability to identify opportunities, analyse performance and drive profitable outcomes.
- High energy, initiative and a genuine desire to build business.
- Excellent relationship‑building and influencing skills.
- Strong planning and organisational capability.
- Confidence presenting, training and engaging with customers.
- A willingness to travel extensively throughout Queensland.
- Sewing, craft, textiles or related product experience—or a genuine passion and practical understanding of the category.

What Will Make You Stand Out

- Have hands‑on sewing experience or a strong personal interest in sewing and crafting - an interest and willing to learn the machines and be able to teach is enough!
- Enjoy teaching and helping others learn.
- Are naturally curious and enjoy becoming a subject matter expert.
- Consistently look for opportunities rather than waiting for opportunities to come to you.
- Have a track record of growing territories, winning new business and delivering results.

Why Join Brother?

At Brother, we're passionate about innovation, quality products and helping our customers succeed.

You’ll join a supportive, collaborative team while enjoying the autonomy to run your territory like your own business. This is an opportunity to combine relationship management, business development and product expertise in a role where your contribution genuinely makes a difference.

If you're looking for a role that gets you out from behind a desk and into the market, we'd love to hear from you.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL CANDIDATES MUST HAVE A FULL DRIVING LICENCE AND BE WILLING TO UNDERTAKE A CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK AS PART OF OUR SCREENING PROCESS.
