Business Development Manager — Industrial & Hospitality

You will own new business across Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania for two segments:

Industrial — manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceutical, logistics and any operation that needs crates, bins, trays, components or tooling washed at scale.

Hospitality & Catering — hotels, clubs, venues, contract caterers, institutional kitchens. You'll sell both direct to end users and through dealers and resellers — building and managing a channel that carries our range as part of theirs.

This is a hunting role focused on new logos and new channel partners.
