Our Sydney office is growing quickly, and we’re building a team of ambitious, high‑energy individuals who want to be part of that journey.

The Opportunity

This is the starting point for a high‑earning, fast‑paced sales career.

As a Business Development Associate, you’ll be responsible for generating new business opportunities, connecting with decision‑makers, building early relationships, and creating a strong pipeline for the sales team.

This role is designed for progression. High performers will quickly move into closing roles, with a clear path toward becoming an Event Sales Manager.

- Booking qualified meetings and handing over warm leads to the sales team

- Confident and comfortable speaking to people every day
- Energetic, resilient, and target‑driven
- Competitive with a strong desire to earn
- Motivated to build a long‑term career in sales
- Interested in business, entrepreneurship, and events

Graduates and working holiday visa candidates are encouraged to apply. Previous sales experience is a bonus, but not essential - attitude and work ethic are what matter most.

What You’ll Get

- $55,000 – $60,000 base salary
- Uncapped commission (OTE $100,000 – $140,000 in Year 1)
- Top performers earning $150,000+
