Job Description
General Manager – Sales | Technology Solutions & Managed Services
n
Brisbane preferred | Sydney considered
n
We're partnering with an established Australian technology solutions and services business to appoint a General Manager of Sales to lead its next phase of growth.
n
This is a genuine player-coach leadership role.
n
You'll lead an experienced sales and account management team of six, while remaining personally active with customers, major opportunities and strategic accounts.
n
The mandate is explicit: take the business strategy into execution.
n
That means building a stronger enterprise sales engine, increasing recurring and annuity revenue, developing larger and more strategic customer relationships, winning new clients, and lifting the capability of an established sales team.
n
This is not about managing a sales function from behind a spreadsheet. This is a true Player/Coach, leading from the front, working alongside your team in customer meetings, helping shape significant opportunities, challenging account strategy, developing executive relationships and demonstrating what great consultative selling looks like.
n
The underlying portfolio spans managed services, infrastructure, cloud and hybrid cloud, cybersecurity, modern workplace and professional services.
n
The opportunity
n
Working closely with the CEO and leadership team, you will:
n
n
Lead, coach and develop a team of several experienced sales and account management professionals
n
Drive profitable growth across new and existing enterprise and upper mid-market customers
n
Build a significantly stronger recurring revenue and managed services base
n
Personally originate and progress high-value technology and services opportunities
n




Turn existing customer relationships into broader strategic accounts
n
Move the sales team from reactive account management towards proactive, consultative selling
n
Strengthen account planning, opportunity qualification, pipeline management and forecasting
n
Develop senior relationships with CIOs, CTOs, CISOs and business leaders
n
Work with technical and delivery teams to turn capability into compelling commercial propositions
n
Build productive relationships with strategic technology vendors and partners
n
Maintain a strong focus on margin, commercial quality and sustainable revenue, not revenue at any cost
n
n
Who we're looking for
n
We're looking for a commercially strong technology sales leader who has personally sold complex, high-value solutions and still enjoys being close to customers and deals.
n
You're likely to have built your career within an Australian MSP, systems integrator, technology services provider or solutions business, selling into enterprise and upper mid-market organisations.
n
You will ideally bring:
n
n
Strong B2B technology sales leadership experience
n
A track record leading and improving an established sales team
n
Demonstrated success selling complex technology solutions and services
n
Experience growing managed services, recurring or multi-year revenue
n




The ability to personally open doors and create new enterprise opportunities
n
Strong enterprise account development and expansion experience
n
Commercial confidence around margin, pricing and deal structure
n
Credibility with senior technology and business executives
n
Strong coaching instincts — someone who develops salespeople rather than simply manages numbers
n
The energy and presence to operate equally comfortably in the boardroom, in a customer meeting or alongside an Account Manager working through a deal
n
n
Experience across managed services, infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity, modern workplace or professional services will be highly relevant. Multi-year managed services experience is specifically advantageous in the brief.
n
Why this one is interesting
n
This isn't a turnaround and it isn't a greenfield start-up.
n
There is an established & successful business, existing customers, technical capability and an experienced sales team.
n
The opportunity is to raise the commercial ambition of the function — create more strategic customer relationships, generate more high-value opportunities, grow recurring revenue and build a sales culture that is considerably more proactive.
n
For the right person, there is a genuine opportunity to influence how the company goes to market and have a very visible impact on its next stage of growth.
n
Brisbane is preferred, although strong Sydney-based candidates will also be considered. Regular travel between Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne is part of the position.
n
If you're a technology sales leader who still wants to sell, coach and build — not simply manage, I'd be very interested in speaking with you.
