Business Development Manager – NSW | $103K Base + Super + $175K OTE
Sydney-based. Sell something schools actually value.
If you’ve sold into complex organisations before, you already know this.
Deals don’t close because of flashy features.
They close because of trust, timing, and someone who knows how to navigate real decision-making.
That’s what this role is about.
This Australian scale-up builds technology that genuinely improves how schools operate. Less admin. Better communication. Stronger engagement with families. It’s already embedded in thousands of schools nationwide.
They’re now hiring a Business Development Manager to take full ownership of the QLD market. Operating from their Sydney Office
You’ll work closely with leadership, run high-quality demos, and play a meaningful role in how this region scales. This is not a churn-and-burn sales gig. It’s a long-game territory role with real autonomy.
