About the company

RELATBL is a recruitment and labour hire company that has achieved fantastic growth since its inception six years ago. We pride ourselves on our strong reputation, long-term client relationships and high-quality delivery across recruitment, labour hire and government recruitment processes.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for an experienced Business Development Manager to join our close-knit, high-performing team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is confident, commercially minded and motivated to help drive RELATBL’s next phase of growth through proactive business development, marketing and sales activity.

About the role:

As Business Development Manager, you will play a key role in driving RELATBL's continued growth by identifying recent opportunities, building strong client relationships and promoting our recruitment, labour hire and placement services to new and existing clients.

Working closely with Commonwealth Government clients, as well as other public and private sector organisations, you will be responsible for generating leads, developing client relationships, understanding workforce needs and positioning RELATBL’s services in market. While the role is primarily focused on business development, marketing, sales and account growth, you may also assist with the recruitment lifecycle for labour hire, placement and related recruitment activities.

We're looking for someone who enjoys being out in market - meeting clients, networking, generating opportunities, converting leads and acting as an ambassador for the business.

Duties

Your responsibilities may include, but will not be limited to:

- Driving business development, marketing and sales activities, including identifying new opportunities, generating leads, attending client meetings, networking events and industry forums, and promoting RELATBL’s recruitment, labour hire and placement services
- Developing and maintaining strong relationships with clients, prospects,



candidates and key stakeholders
- Building and maintaining a strong understanding of client workforce needs, procurement pathways and buying environments, particularly across Commonwealth Government and public sector clients
- Supporting marketing and brand awareness initiatives, including contributing ideas for social media content, client campaigns, recruitment campaigns, client communications and employer branding activities
- Assisting with the recruitment lifecycle where required, including job briefings, advertising, sourcing, screening, interviewing, reference checking, candidate submissions, offer management and contract negotiations
- Maintaining accurate records, databases and recruitment documentation

Our ideal candidate

Our ideal candidate will ideally have 2–5 years' experience in business development, marketing or sales within a recruitment, legal and/or consulting environment. Specific experience selling services to Commonwealth Government clients, or working with government procurement, panels or buying processes is required.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is proactive, relationship-focused and excited by the challenge of growing a business. You'll enjoy meeting current people, building trusted relationships, identifying opportunities and converting conversations into meaningful client outcomes.

We value individuals who are:

- Relationship-Driven: You genuinely enjoy building connections with clients, candidates and industry contacts, and can quickly establish credibility and trust.
- Commercially Minded: You can identify opportunities,



think strategically and understand how to turn conversations, campaigns and relationships into sustainable business outcomes.
- Confident and Professional: You're comfortable representing the business, attending networking events, meeting with clients and having proactive business development conversations.
- Self-Motivated: You take ownership of your work, look for opportunities to add value and are comfortable working autonomously.
- Resilient and Adaptable: You remain positive when faced with challenges, can manage competing priorities and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong Communicators: You possess excellent verbal and written communication skills and can engage effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
- Collaborative Team Players: You enjoy working as part of a close-knit team, sharing knowledge and contributing to a positive workplace culture.

Please note: a driver’s license and vehicle are required for this role.

Culture and benefits

In return for your hard work and dedication, we can provide:

- Industry leading training and professional development
- Career progression opportunities
- Attractive remuneration package
- A genuinely supportive and friendly team
- EAP program and mental health officer
- Plenty of social events
- 9-day fortnight for permanent full-time employees (after successful completion of probation)
