The Role

Love retail, but ready for a change?

If you've spent years working in retail, you already have a skill set that is incredibly valuable in sales. You know how to talk to people, build relationships, understand customers, solve problems, handle pressure and keep things moving when the store is busy.

Now you can take those skills and turn them into a long term career in tech.

As an SDR at Tanda, you'll work with businesses in the industries we support, with a particular focus on retail. You'll speak with business owners, operators and managers every day, using your understanding of the industry to start conversations, build relationships and create new opportunities.

You don't need years of sales experience. We'll teach you the sales part.

What you can't easily teach is the ability to connect with people, understand their needs, think on your feet and know how a busy business actually operates.

If you've worked in retail, you already have a head start.

You'll be based in our Brisbane office and report to our Head of Sales, Bryce Davies.

At Tanda, you'll get extensive training, professional development, transparent career progression and a generous, uncapped commission structure.

And yes, this is a Monday to Friday role.

Core Responsibilities

- Speak with prospective retail businesses via phone and email.
- Build meaningful relationships with business owners, operators and decision makers.
- Research retail businesses and understand their operations, challenges and needs.
- Use your industry knowledge to have genuine conversations with prospective customers.
- Progress prospective clients through the sales process towards a meeting with an Account Executive.
- Source new retail businesses and build your own pipeline.
- Learn the skills needed to build a successful career in software sales.

About You

You might be a retail assistant, store manager,



assistant manager, department manager, team leader, customer service representative or someone who has spent years working in a busy retail environment. Or maybe you've simply reached the point where you're ready for your next chapter.

We're looking for people who:

- Have experience in retail, customer service, sales or another people focused industry.
- Are confident talking to people and building relationships.
- Have a strong work ethic and aren't afraid to pick up the phone.
- Take initiative and enjoy creating new opportunities.
- Are organised, motivated and driven to achieve results.
- Are curious and open to learning something new.
- Want to build a genuine long term career in tech and sales.

Your retail experience is valuable here. You already know how to understand customers, build relationships, handle difficult situations, solve problems and stay calm when things get busy. Now we'll teach you how to turn those skills into sales.

Great Training Program & Opportunities to Learn

We make sure our sales team has the tools, training and support to succeed. We're not a boiler room and we don't churn and burn leads. You'll receive structured training, ongoing coaching and mentorship to help you develop the skills to build a successful career in software sales.

You'll be given real responsibility, real customers and plenty of opportunity to learn.
