Great sales teams don't happen by accident. They're built by leaders who coach, challenge and inspire people to perform at their best. As a people-led, commercially minded Sales Manager, you'll lead our Trade business across Far North Queensland and the Northern Territory. You’ll take full ownership of a significant regional portfolio, leading an established team, and helping shape the future growth of one of Taubmans most strategically important regions. If you're a leader who thrives on developing people, building customer partnerships and driving commercial results, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
Why this opportunity stands out:
- Lead an established, engaged and high-performing team
- Significant autonomy to influence strategy, customers and commercial outcomes
- Build relationships with major trade, residential and commercial customers
- Coach and develop a team across a diverse regional territory
- Fully maintained company vehicle with full private use
- Annual incentive program
- Career opportunities across PPG's ANZ and global network
This isn't a role for someone who wants to manage from behind a desk. Around 70% of your time will be spent where great sales leaders create value: coaching your team, building customer partnerships, identifying growth opportunities and strengthening PPG's position across the market.
How You'll Make An Impact:
- Lead, coach and develop a team of sales professionals across FNQ and NT
- Drive profitable sales growth, customer engagement and market share
- Build strategic relationships with trade customers, builders, contractors and dealer networks
- Identify opportunities to grow key accounts and expand customer partnerships
- Strengthen pipeline management, forecasting and CRM effectiveness
- Create a culture of accountability, ownership and continuous improvement
- Work closely with Marketing, Operations, Supply Chain and Customer Service to deliver exceptional customer outcomes
You'll thrive here if you:
- Lead from the front and genuinely enjoy developing people
- Build trusted relationships quickly with customers and stakeholders
- Are commercially savvy and customer focused
- Know how to turn strategy into action and results
- Take ownership, drive accountability and set high standards
- Balance data-driven decision making with strong people leadership
- Enjoy being in the field with customers and your team rather than sitting behind a desk
Experience within paint, coatings, building products, trade supply, construction materials or a related industry will be highly regarded. However, your leadership capability, commercial acumen and ability to grow teams and customer relationships are what matter most.
Ready to lead more than just a sales team? If you're looking for a role where you can influence people, customers and business performance while helping shape the future growth of a significant regional business, we'd love to hear from you.
