With an expanding national footprint and ambitious growth plans, we’re looking for a commercially driven, entrepreneurial National Sales Manager to help accelerate our growth across Australia.
This is a hands-on role combining major account development (70%) with leadership and development of our national field sales team (30%).
We’re looking for someone who enjoys opening doors, building relationships and winning new business, while providing practical and supportive leadership to a small national sales team.
About the Role

You’ll personally drive new business opportunities with regional and national education organisations, while building long-term relationships with key accounts.
• Identify, approach and secure new regional and national accounts
• Develop relationships with senior decision-makers across education organisations
• Negotiate commercial agreements and establish long-term supply partnerships
• Develop opportunities with childcare groups, Catholic education dioceses, independent school networks and education departments
• Manage key customer relationships and grow account revenue
• Develop new channels and strategic partnerships for Digby and Marmadukes
• Own the major account pipeline from initial prospecting through to conversion
National Field Sales Team Leadership
You’ll provide day-to-day leadership and support to approximately five field-based sales representatives across Australia.

• Set clear objectives and monitor sales performance
• Support territory planning, prospecting and customer acquisition
• Work alongside representatives in the field to develop opportunities and win business
• Provide practical guidance and help the team overcome challenges
• Build a positive, accountable and results-focused sales culture
We value supportive, hands-on leadership over layers of management and administration.
About You
We’re looking for an ambitious, self-motivated sales professional who combines proven business development skills with the ability to lead and develop others.
• Strong track record in B2B business development and key account management
• Success winning new business with large organisations or multi-site customer groups
• Experience managing, coaching or mentoring sales representatives
