National Business Development Manager - Remote
Love the chase?
At Keith Engineering we design, manufacture, install and commission equipment that keeps one of the most highly regulated, high-stakes sectors in food and agriculture running.
Now we're after a hunter, someone hungry, full of drive and happiest on the road, who wants to own a national sales cycle end to end, from first conversation to signed deal.
Your calendar, your pipeline, your patch, across every state and territory.
This role can be located anywhere in Australia.
The Role
You will run sales nationally from start to finish.
That means getting out to client sites, getting to know each plant's capacity and capital expenditure plans, and spotting the opportunities for new equipment, upgrades and spare parts before anyone else does.
You'll represent Keith at industry events (including the Australian Renderers Association), build your own pipeline and take deals from lead to close, with our project managers, engineers and leadership team right alongside you to make sure we deliver on everything you sell.
- What You'll Own
- The full national sales cycle: prospecting, pitching, negotiating and closing
- A pipeline you build and drive yourself, from first enquiry through to signed proposal
- A national client base, with real on-site relationships in every state and territory
- The Keith Engineering presence at industry events and association activities
- Pricing, scope and delivery conversations alongside our project managers, engineers and leadership team
- Forecasting, CRM and reporting that keep leadership in the loop
- What You'll Bring
- Hunger. You go looking for opportunities rather than waiting for them to land
- A track record of winning business in a sales, business development or account management role. We care more about drive and results than years on the CV
- A real appetite for national travel.
- The confidence to talk with everyone from tradespeople to executives
- The self-direction to run a largely autonomous role without someone looking over your shoulder
- Curiosity about how things work.
- Exposure to capital equipment sales or technical account management is a strong plus
- What's On Offer
- Real autonomy, you set the plan, you lead your territory
- The role can be based anywhere with periodic visits to our Sydney and Melbourne offices to stay connected
- The backing of a group with engineering credentials going back to 1947 and a genuine industry leader in rendering equipment
Ready to Hit the Road?
If you're hungry, love the hunt and want a national territory to call your own, we want to hear from you.
