Brisbane | Leadership Team | Built Workplace |
This role requires PROVEN B2B business development experience. Applicants must have previously held a dedicated Business Development Manager, Head of Business Development or equivalent senior B2B business development role.
Premis is a Queensland-owned construction company delivering projects across the education, health, government, commercial, living and community sectors.
We are seeking an experienced Business Development Manager to lead our business development strategy, strengthen key relationships and to continue to drive growth.
This is a senior, relationship-led B2B business development role. We are looking for someone who understands how to build genuine long-term relationships, uncover opportunities, gather meaningful market intelligence and convert that activity into a strong pipeline of work.
About the Role
Reporting directly to the Managing Director and forming part of the Leadership Team, you will take ownership of Premis' business development function and play an important role in the continued growth of the business.
This is a highly external and relationship-focused position. You will spend significant time in the market meeting with clients, consultants, project managers and other key industry stakeholders, while working closely with our Leadership, Estimating and Submissions Teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and implement Premis' business development strategy in alignment with company growth objectives.
- Build, strengthen and maintain strategic relationships with clients, consultants, architects, project managers, government representatives and key industry stakeholders.
- Identify and pursue new business opportunities across our target sectors and markets.
- Maintain a strong and qualified pipeline of opportunities and provide meaningful reporting and forecasting to the Leadership Team.
- Gather market intelligence on upcoming projects, clients, competitors and broader market activity.
- Plan and undertake regular client meetings, networking and industry engagement.
- Support the Estimating and Submissions Teams, where required, on major opportunities, tenders, proposals and client presentations.
- Actively maintain the CRM as the central source of BD intelligence, ensuring relationships, interactions, opportunities and follow-up actions are current and accurately recorded.
- Manage marketing initiatives that support business development and strengthen the Premis brand, including the Premis LinkedIn Company Page.
- Take ownership of key relationships, ensuring consistent engagement and follow-up to strengthen Premis' position with clients and industry partners.
About You
Previous experience in a dedicated B2B Business Development Manager, Head of Business Development or equivalent senior business development role is essential.
- A minimum of five years' experience in B2B business development, with a demonstrated track record of identifying opportunities and developing long-term client relationships.
- A robust network within construction, property or the broader built workplace,
or demonstrated experience developing relationships within a comparable B2B professional environment.
- Confidence building relationships with senior decision-makers and representing a business at an executive level.
- Strong commercial acumen and an understanding of how business development activity translates into pipeline and revenue.
- Excellent communication, networking and presentation skills.
- Extensive experience managing a CRM and maintaining an accurate opportunity pipeline.
- A proactive, self-motivated approach and the ability to work autonomously while contributing as part of a Leadership Team.
This is not an entry-level business development opportunity. We are looking for an established B2B business development professional who understands the full BD lifecycle, from identifying and developing relationships through to positioning the business for future opportunities.
What Success Looks Like
Success will be measured not simply by the number of meetings held, but by the strength of relationships developed, quality of market intelligence gathered, opportunities identified, growth and quality of the pipeline, and ultimately your contribution to securing the right work for Premis.
Why Premis?
Premis has built a strong reputation across Queensland by delivering quality projects and developing long-term relationships with our clients and industry partners.
You will join a collaborative Leadership Team and have the opportunity to take ownership of an established business development function while helping shape the next stage of Premis' growth.
