About the opportunity

This is a new business role. You will hunt down new opportunities, close the opportunity and then hand it over to the Account Manager to manage.

You cover Melbourne’s south east. You are on the road with customers, not behind a desk.

You find businesses in your patch that do not ship with us or who do but a little bit and can grow. You will learn about their business. You'll learn how they trade. You build out our value proposition and then you will pitch to them and close the deal.

Then you onboard them yourself for three months.

You’ll also

• Build a qualified pipeline across your territory of South East Melbourne and down the peninsula.
• Meet your call grid and pipeline requirements every week.
