Commercial Partnerships & Revenue Lead

This isn't just another sales job.

Mornington Peninsula / Melbourne | Part Time | 20–25 hours per week initially $120,000 FTE + super + $15,000 FTE car allowance + performance incentives

Build something meaningful. Have genuine influence. Do great work — with flexibility.

Carpentry Australia is growing rapidly. We're building a national organisation that is changing the way Australia's carpenters and construction businesses are supported, connected and represented.

We're looking for a commercially minded, relationship-driven person to help build the commercial engine behind that growth.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants meaningful responsibility and genuine flexibility — without compromising on the quality or impact of the work they do.

The opportunity

As our Commercial Partnerships & Revenue Lead, you'll work closely with the CEO and leadership team to develop the partnerships, sponsorships and commercial opportunities that will help fund and accelerate CA's growth. You'll have real ownership.

You'll identify opportunities, open doors, build relationships, negotiate partnerships and turn good ideas into commercial outcomes.

Your role will include

- Building new commercial partnerships and sponsorships.
- Developing relationships with leading suppliers, manufacturers and service providers.
- Growing recurring partnership revenue.
- Managing and expanding existing partner relationships.
- Creating sponsorship opportunities across CA events, programs and initiatives.
- Identifying new commercial opportunities and revenue streams.
- Preparing proposals and presenting to senior decision-makers.
- Representing Carpentry Australia across the industry.
- Managing your commercial pipeline through HubSpot.
- Working with the CEO and leadership team to turn ideas into results.

The goal isn't simply to sell.



The best partnerships will create a genuine win for our members, our partners and Carpentry Australia.

Who we're looking for

We're not necessarily looking for someone who has already done this exact job. We're looking for someone with commercial capability, maturity and potential.

You may have experience in business development, account management, sponsorship, events, media, professional services, construction, membership organisations or another relationship-driven commercial environment.

You may already be highly capable in your field and be looking for a different kind of opportunity.

Perhaps you want more autonomy.

Perhaps you want to work closer to strategy and decision-making.

Perhaps you're looking for a role where your experience is valued, but where you can still learn, grow and build something from the ground up.

What matters most is that you're:

- Commercially driven — you enjoy winning and exceeding targets.
- Great with people — you build genuine, long-term relationships.
- Confident — you're comfortable opening doors and engaging senior decision-makers.
- Curious — you want to understand businesses and find ways to create value.
- Self-directed — you take ownership and don't need to be managed minute-to-minute.
- Accountable — you care about outcomes, not just activity.
- Coachable — you're confident in what you bring, but know there's always more to learn.
- Ambitious — you want to build something and grow with it.

If you're someone who thinks "I can do more, but I want to do it differently", we'd like to hear from you.





Why this role is different

This isn't a role where you're measured by how long you sit at a desk. We're interested in what you achieve, the relationships you build and the value you create.

The role will initially be 20–25 hours per week, with flexibility around how those hours are structured.

As CA grows, there is an opportunity for the role, hours and level of responsibility to grow with it.

You'll have

- Genuine flexibility.
- Significant autonomy.
- Direct access to the CEO and leadership team.
- Exposure to strategy and commercial decision-making.
- The opportunity to build your own portfolio.
- Coaching and professional development.
- Clear commercial targets and accountability.
- A genuine pathway to grow with the organisation.

And importantly, you'll be joining a team that values performance and contribution over presenteeism.
