This is a genuine business development role for someone who enjoys getting out into the market, building relationships, opening doors and turning opportunities into long-term commercial partnerships.

Based from our South Australian warehouse and regularly on the road, you'll be responsible for developing new wholesale business across sporting clubs, associations, schools and commercial organisations.

While you'll work with some existing Valour clients, the primary focus is growth. You'll build your own pipeline, identify opportunities within the South Australian market and convert new relationships into sustainable revenue.

For the right person, there is also potential to expand into additional territories as the role develops.

- Work closely with Valour's internal design, production, operations and client experience teams to transition new business successfully
- Identify emerging opportunities, market trends and competitor activity within the territory
- Represent Valour at meetings, industry events and sporting environments
- Report directly to the Managing Director on pipeline, opportunities and territory performance

About you

- Demonstrated business development or sales experience, with a track record of winning new business




- Strong prospecting, relationship-building, negotiation and closing skills
- Experience within sport, sporting administration, apparel, teamwear or a related industry is highly regarded
- An existing network within the South Australian sporting community would be a strong advantage
- The confidence to work autonomously and manage a territory
- Strong commercial judgement and the ability to identify genuine growth opportunities
- Excellent communication, presentation and time-management skills
- A proactive, results-focused approach and willingness to get out from behind the desk
