ABOUT US

Booster is an operations platform for fresh produce distributors, wholesalers, packhouses and food distributors. It runs orders, stock, wastage, pricing, picking, packing and delivery in one system, with built-in AI for customer service, pricing and quoting. It has been built since 2016 by Continental Bridge Pty Ltd, a Melbourne software company with its own development team. Customers go live before they pay the deployment fee. We also build custom software and AI solutions for businesses with specific problems to solve.

WHAT YOU WILL SELL

• Booster software, plus implementation and deployment
• Data migration projects (moving customers off spreadsheets and old systems)
• Custom software development and outsourcing projects
• AI applications that solve a specific business problem (customer service bots, pricing, quoting, automation)

Typical deal size: $30k-$300k. Typical customer: a business with 10-300 staff that still runs on Excel, WhatsApp and paper.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Find and win new customers. This is a hunting role, not an account management role.
• Use your own network in food distribution, fresh produce, wholesale, logistics, warehousing or manufacturing to open doors.
• Run the whole sale: first call, site visit, demo (with our team), proposal, close.
• Work with our delivery team to scope projects and hand over cleanly.
• Own a target of $500k closed sales in your first 12 months.

WHO WE WANT

• 5+ years selling software, ERP, IT services or technology projects to business owners and managers.
• A record of closing deals of $30k+ and hitting targets. You will show us the numbers.
• An existing network you can call on day one. Food, produce, wholesale, logistics, cold-chain, warehousing or manufacturing is ideal. Any network of SME owners and operations managers works.
• Comfortable explaining software to people who are not technical.
• Self-driven. You will build your own pipeline. There is no SDR team feeding you leads.
• You must be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or hold a New Zealand passport. This is a full-time position (38 hours per week). A driver's licence is required.

PAY

• $85,000 base + 12% super
• Commission, uncapped, paid monthly: 30% of first-year software fees, 15% of project and services revenue, 20% of AI project revenue, with a higher rate once you pass $500k
