Own and build mid-market growth. You will define, build, and scale a growth engine from scratch across single-site locations with 100 to 1,500 frontline people on the ground (staff, security, casuals, and contractors). You are selling a premium, off-the-shelf training course catalogue with no complex content customisation cycles, allowing you to close deals efficiently without operational delivery delays. Your mandate is to own the mid-market strategy and play a pivotal role in driving the broader business direction.
Key responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end sales strategy and execution for the mid-market, refining who we target, how we engage and how we win.
- Drive business development from day one by sourcing leads, establishing relationships, running pitches and closing annual contracts.
- Partner closely with the Founder to bring commercial leadership and market insight to the broader company.
- Manage relevant financial and commercial processes—including pricing tiers, licensing terms, negotiations and documentation through to signature.
- Build and document a repeatable B2B sales playbook for future sales hires.
- Work hand in hand with the team on post-sale customer onboarding and handover.
- Analyse market data within your first 30 days, collaborate with the Founder & CEO to set agreed targets and carry the quota.
About you
- More than five years of experience in B2B sales, with a track record of closing deals in the $15k–$50k range.
- Energised by working as part of a tight-knit, driven team where you contribute beyond sales revenue to help steer strategy and business direction.
- Financial literacy to evaluate deal profitability, sales velocity and client acquisition costs.
- Resourceful, proactive and comfortable creating structure and driving momentum without relying on dedicated SDR teams.
- Credible and articulate when engaging with chief risk officers, HR directors and operations executives.
- Experience working within, or selling into, the physical security, risk management, public safety, protective services or corporate compliance sectors (desired).
- Formal qualifications in, or exposure to, Australian or international risk and security frameworks (desired).
