Part-time (or full-time for the right person)
$80,000 – $120,000 FTE equivalent + results-based bonus package
Attractive remuneration package based on experience and results. Base including car allowance plus results-based bonus package.
Are you motivated and positive about life and opportunities? Are you engaging, fun (we like to have fun), and professional? Do you get satisfaction from achieving results and won’t quit until you do? Do you have the confidence, personality, and skills to inspire loyalty in clients?
Are you smart enough to ask useful questions, learn how to answer those questions convincingly, and demonstrate how the company you represent can successfully meet their needs?
MOST IMPORTANTLY, can you close the deal and ask for the business?
(That’s why it is called sales, not Kumbaya!)
If you can deliver results, you will be rewarded. We look for people with a great attitude, intelligence and genuine industry credibility. We can provide the training and support for everything else you need.
NO SHOW PONIES PLEASE: If you’re brilliant at selling yourself at an interview but not nearly as good at delivering once you have the job, then don’t apply. You won’t last in the role. Why waste our resources and your time?
(No offence intended to actual show ponies. We’re sure some of them are very results-focused.)
About Us
We are the largest player in a niche industry – property compliance services primarily for strata buildings. We have a market leading reputation for consistent, quality delivery of services. We (Solutions IE) are an industry leader, with our head office in Brisbane and a 40-year reputation for excellence delivered through our team of 40+ across Australia and New Zealand.
The Role
Build job volume. That’s it.
We know who our clients are and have an existing database. 99% have used our services at some point.
Your role is to maintain the strong relationships, strengthen the weaker ones and re-kindle the cold relationships.
It’s relationship-building with a sales edge. Building good relationships is useful, but they must lead to results.
Your activities will include engaging with clients, visiting clients where appropriate, representing the company at industry events and networking sessions and, after you learn the products, delivering customer presentations.
Perhaps you already know many of the people we want to build stronger relationships with. Even better.
The Industry Background We’re Looking For
We are looking for someone who already understands the strata/property world.
You might have:
- Worked in strata management or property management;
- Worked with strata compliance reports, inspections or reporting; or
- Worked for a business supplying products or professional services to the strata industry.
You don't necessarily need to have been called an “Account Manager”.
In fact, we would be very interested in someone with strong industry knowledge, credibility and relationships who has the personality and commercial instinct to move into a client-facing relationship role.
If you already have relationships with strata managers, body corporate managers, property professionals or other relevant people in the sector, that will be highly regarded.
We can teach you our products. It’s much harder to teach someone ten years of industry context and relationships.
Looking to Return to the Industry?
This is a part-time role (but talk to us about your goals if you're looking for something more), and it may particularly suit an experienced industry professional who has stepped away from the workforce for a period and now wants to return without necessarily going back to a traditional five-day working week.
Career breaks happen for all sorts of reasons.
We’re much more interested in what you know, how you deal with people and what you can deliver than whether your CV has an uninterrupted timeline.
If you have substantial industry experience from a few years ago and have been wondering how to put that knowledge and those relationships back to work, we would particularly encourage you to apply.
Location, Flexibility and Travel
We’re open to the right person being located in Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne.
- Brisbane: You will primarily work from our Milton head office.
- Sydney or Melbourne: The role can be primarily remote, combined with client meetings, networking and industry activity in your market.
We are a national company, so some interstate travel is part of the role, but this is not a constantly-on-a-plane sales job.
As a guide, expect approximately three nights of interstate travel every couple of months, primarily to engage with clients, attend industry events and maintain relationships.
Do You Enjoy Learning?
Most of our products are driven by legislation, so even with industry experience, you will need to get across the detail of our services during your first few months so you can genuinely add value to clients and answer queries intelligently.
We have an awesome team to assist with this, but you must have a strong desire to learn and grow.
Remuneration
We reward results.
There is a competitive base salary,
pro-rated to the agreed part-time arrangement, together with a bonus scheme based on your results.
About You
- You have experience in the strata, property management or strata services/supplier sector and understand how the industry works.
- You’re a people person – the grounded, organised type (not the ‘talks too much and doesn’t listen’ disorganised type).
- You’re a confident self-starter who thrives independently while still enjoying being part of a supportive team.
- You’re enthusiastic and resilient, and you like seeing tangible results from your efforts.
- You excel at building and maintaining client relationships, with a focus on both expansion and retention.
- You understand that relationships are important, but in a commercial role they ultimately need to produce business.
- You can use technology competently and are comfortable being part of a tech-driven company.
- You’re comfortable learning new concepts, interpreting legislation and, once competent, delivering presentations to various stakeholders.
- You have strong communication, problem-solving and organisational skills and maintain professionalism in your interactions.
- You may already have established relationships within the strata industry – if you do, we’d certainly like to hear about them.
- You may not have direct Account Manager experience. If you have industry knowledge, strong relationship skills and commercial nous, that may be much more valuable to us.
Why Join Us?
- Part-Time With Substance – This is a genuine commercial role where your industry experience can make a difference, not a watered-down full-time job.
- Results-Based Remuneration – Competitive base remuneration + bonus scheme.
- Industry Relationships – Work with an established national client base in an industry you already understand.
- Flexible Location – Brisbane head-office based, or remote if located in Sydney or Melbourne.
- Cooperative Role – Focus on relationship-building, client retention and generating business rather than traditional high-volume cold sales.
- Established Company – Join a respected company with a 40-year history and market-leading reputation.
- Professional Growth – Benefit from ongoing support, great role models and, once established, company support for professionally aligned training.
One Last Thing
To be considered for this role, you must have good verbal communication skills, full working rights in Australia, a clean, unrestricted driver’s licence, and a reliable vehicle.
And if you’ve been out of the industry for a while, don’t let that stop you from applying. If you know the industry, know how to build relationships and think you can produce results, we’d like to hear from you.
