Business Development Manager - Melbourne/Sydney/Perth

Business Development Manager — International Education Agent Network | Multi-Campus RTO

We're looking for someone who already knows this network — agents you've worked with, relationships you've built, not someone who'll spend their first six months making introductions. If you don't have existing agent relationships in international education, this isn't the role for you.

About Austra College

Sixteen years delivering nationally recognised VET training, four campuses — Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth — and an agent and student base that spans the country. We're growing our recruitment function and need someone who can hit the ground running with a network already in hand.

The role

Full-funnel BDM role, built around the agent relationships you bring with you:

Activate and expand your existing agent network for Austra College — you're not starting from zero, you're bringing a book of contacts and turning it into enrolments

Own the enquiry-to-enrolment pipeline across phone, email and chat — every lead followed up with discipline

Run the events calendar — education fairs, expos, agent workshops — and convert on-the-day conversations into applications

Produce recruitment and promotional video content for social and web, on top of the recruitment work

Keep the CRM as the single source of truth across every channel





You'll be measured against a real monthly enrolment target from day one — your existing network is what makes that realistic.

Existing, active relationships within the international education agent network — this is the role's core requirement, not a nice-to-have

Proven track record in international student recruitment or B2B account management in education

Confident negotiating face-to-face with external partners

Disciplined CRM management across multiple simultaneous lead sources

Full Australian working rights and a current driver's licence

Experience creating short-form video/social content

Background in VET or higher education specifically

Working knowledge of National Code 2018 Standard 4

What's in it for you

Walk in with your network, not build one from scratch — immediate impact, immediate earning potential

Sixteen years of institutional history and a genuine four-city footprint behind you

Regular travel: agent visits, expos, industry events

A real path to a senior recruitment or partnerships role as the function scales

Apply now — Please include a brief note on the agent relationships you'd bring to the role.

Be careful - Don’t provide your bank or credit card details when applying for jobs. Don't transfer any money or complete suspicious online surveys. If you see something suspicious, report this job ad .
