BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER

ABOUT THE BRISBANE CLUB

The Brisbane Club has been at the centre of the city’s business and professional community for more than 120 years. Our Members meet here to dine, to entertain clients, to do business and to spend time with people whose company they value. We are a private members’ club with a long history and a clear ambition for our next chapter.

THE CHANCE

We have created a new role dedicated to growing our membership.

The Business Development Manager is the Club’s principal membership growth position. You will build and own a pipeline of prospective Members, host them personally, and guide them from first introduction through to election. Alongside this you will develop the corporate and private event business that brings new people into the Club, and which remains one of our strongest sources of membership interest.

This is a genuinely commercial role in a hospitality setting. It reports to the General Manager and works closely with our Events and Marketing teams, the Membership Sub-Committee and the Club’s senior leadership.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Generate, qualify and convert membership prospects through direct outreach, Member referrals, corporate networks and external engagement

• Deliver a personalised membership journey, including Club tours, hosted experiences, sponsor introductions and application support

• Build and maintain a structured pipeline across membership, corporate events and private functions

• Develop relationships with corporate organisations, executive assistants,



event planners and CBD professional networks

• Position the Club as a preferred venue for board meetings, corporate dining and leadership events

• Ensure Club events operate as membership lead generation platforms, with disciplined post-event follow-up

• Maintain full CRM discipline and report monthly on pipeline, conversion and activity

ABOUT YOU

• Three to five or more years in business development, sales or client relationship roles

• A track record of generating your own leads, not simply managing those handed to you

• Comfortable working to a monthly target, and accountable for meeting it

• Confident, polished and at ease with senior business people

• Experience with CRM systems and pipeline management

• Exposure to hospitality, events, membership or premium service environments (preferred)

• Discreet, professional and aligned with the values of a private members’ club

WHAT WE OFFER

• $130,000 total remuneration package inclusive of superannuation, plus performance incentives, with on-target earnings of approximately $180,000 and genuine upside for a strong performer

• A newly created role with real ownership and visibility across the Club

• A supportive team and direct access to senior leadership

• A CBD workplace with genuine character, in one of Brisbane’s most established institutions
