Business Development Manager

Wollongong | Illawarra | South Coast NSW | Sydney Southern Suburbs

Own the Territory. Build the Business. Grow With Axial.

Axial Training is looking for an experienced, energetic and relationship-driven Business Development Manager to take ownership of our Wollongong, Illawarra, South Coast and southern Sydney region.

This is an outstanding opportunity to join one of NSW's fastest-growing and most energetic RTOs, bringing a flexible, workplace-based approach to the apprenticeship and traineeship market.

And importantly — you won't be starting from scratch.

You'll step into a region with a strong existing client base, established employer relationships and significant potential for further business growth.

The Role

This is a highly autonomous role for someone who knows the apprenticeship and vocational training world and enjoys being out in industry.

With strong support from the wider Axial team, you'll:

- Manage and grow an established portfolio of employer clients

- Develop new apprenticeship and traineeship business

- Build strong, long-term relationships with employers and industry

- Identify workforce development and training opportunities throughout the region

- Strengthen existing referral and industry relationships

- Represent Axial across Wollongong, the Illawarra and South Coast

- Take genuine ownership of the growth and performance of your territory

You'll have the freedom to get out there, build relationships and develop your region — backed by an organisation that has the training model, people and support to deliver on what you sell.

What We're Looking For

Experience in the apprenticeship and vocational training industry is essential.





We're looking for someone who brings either:

- Proven sales/business development experience within the VET sector; or

- Solid experience with an ACAP – Apprenticeship Support Agency

You'll already understand apprenticeships, traineeships, employers and the broader vocational training environment.

Just as importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys meeting people, opening doors, developing relationships and turning opportunities into sustainable business.

You'll be organised, accountable, comfortable working autonomously and motivated by the opportunity to grow a territory.

We Give You the Tools

We want our Business Development Managers spending their time where they make the biggest difference — out in industry with employers.

We'll set you up with:

- Company vehicle or allowance

- Company mobile phone

- Company laptop

- All tools of trade

- Strong management and administrative support

- An established client portfolio

- Plenty of autonomy to manage and grow your region

A Great Time to Join Axial
