The Motor Trade Association of Western Australia (MTA WA) is the peak industry body for WA’s automotive industry, representing more than 1,500 businesses across the State. We support our members, strengthen the businesses that make up our industry and provide a strong voice for automotive businesses across Western Australia.

We’re looking for an experienced business professional to join our team as a Membership Engagement Manager.

This is much more than a traditional membership role. You’ll become a trusted business partner to automotive businesses across your industry sectors. You’ll learn where they’re heading, what challenges they face and where MTA WA can help.

You’ll spend much of your time out in the industry, meeting business owners and leaders in their workplaces. You’ll connect them with expertise, training, workforce solutions, advocacy, services and opportunities from across MTA WA, while also finding recent ways to grow and strengthen our membership.

Just as importantly, you’ll be a voice for members within MTA WA. The insights you gain from conversations across the industry will help us understand emerging issues and opportunities, and shape our advocacy, services and priorities.

About you

We’re looking for someone who is commercially curious, relationship-driven and genuinely interested in how businesses work.

You don’t need to have all the answers. You do need to know how to ask the right questions, build trust, recognise opportunities and connect people with the expertise or support that can make a difference.

You’ll ideally bring:

Experience in relationship management, account management,



business development or a similar business-facing role

A track record of building strong, long-term relationships and contributing to growth

Confidence engaging with business owners and senior industry leaders

Strong commercial judgement, communication and problem-solving skills

The ability to work independently, manage a portfolio of relationships and spot opportunities beyond the immediate issue

Know the automotive industry? Even better. Industry experience, established networks or an automotive trade background will give you a valuable head start in understanding our members and the issues they face.

But it’s not a prerequisite. If you’ve built trusted business relationships in another industry and bring commercial curiosity, energy and the ability to quickly understand what makes a business tick, we’d still love to hear from you.

This is a chance to work across one of Western Australia’s largest and most diverse industries, helping business owners and industry leaders get more from their connection with MTA WA.

You’ll have the backing of an organisation that brings together membership, advocacy, training, workforce solutions and industry expertise, giving you plenty of ways to make a practical difference for the businesses you work with.

The role is based at our Balcatta head office, with significant time spent out meeting members across the industry. It comes with a company car and a nine-day fortnight, with some flexibility required for industry events and occasional regional travel.

If you enjoy meeting people, understanding businesses and turning conversations into opportunities, we’d love to hear from you.
