We are seeking a motivated and dynamic Graduate Territory Manager to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for managing and developing business relationships within a designated territory based out of Western Melbourne. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate (or nearly graduated student) looking to kick start their career.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop a range of diverse customers through your ability to build and maintain strong relationships and to influence key partners.
• Manage your own territory autonomously day to day, supported by an experienced management team and maintain close contact with your peer network.
• Use category insights to increase share of space in-store and optimise ranging of our products on the supermarket shelf.
• Sell permanent and temporary displays into all customers.
• Ensure efficient coverage of your entire store network.

All of the tools required to succeed will be provided, for example an iPad and fully maintained company car. You will be part of a comprehensive induction and training program. Many of our Customer Development/Sales team began their careers as a Graduate Territory Manager, and many have gone on to become Colgate-Palmolive executive leaders across various functions.

Qualifications & Requirements:

The Essentials:

• A valid Australian driver's licence and full Australian work rights are required.
• Whether you've recently finished your Bachelor's degree (or are finishing in the next 6 months), your ambition and 'can-do' attitude are what set you apart.
• A Drive for Results: You are passionate, energised, and a self-starter who takes the initiative to get things done.
• Commercial Acumen: A genuine interest in how businesses work and the power to influence and negotiate with key partners to organise the best outcomes.
• Leadership Potential: Even as a graduate, you should feel confident in your ability to inspire others and lead from the front.

Our Commitment to Inclusion:

Our journey begins with our people - developing strong talent with diverse backgrounds and perspectives to best serve our consumers around the world and fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels a true sense of belonging. We are dedicated to ensuring that each individual can be their authentic self, is treated with respect, and is empowered by leadership to contribute meaningfully to our business.
