About the Opportunity
Viva Energy - the exclusive licensee of Shell in Australia, with more than 120 years of local operation and a national network of 1,600+ accepted sites across metro areas and key transport corridors - is appointing a select group of experienced business development professionals to own and grow state-based Shell Card territories.
Shell Card is one of Australia's leading fuel cards for business. Your mandate is straightforward: win commercial customers running mixed fleets of vehicles and equipment, grow their usage, and build a portfolio that pays you month after month. This is a genuine territory ownership model - you operate independently, backed by the Shell brand, national marketing support and a dedicated onshore customer service team managing your accounts' day-to-day needs so you can stay focused on growth.
The Commercial Model
- Most sales roles pay you once per deal. This one keeps paying.
- Recurring trailing income: earn ongoing commissions on fuel usage across your entire account base, not just at the point of sale.
- Exclusive territory rights - a defined market that is yours to develop and convert.
- Earning support through ramp-up - startup commission structure plus uncapped acquisition commissions as you build.
- Portfolio equity - the customer base you build has long-term value, with the potential to create a sellable asset.
- Enterprise-grade backing - Shell branding, proven customer offers, targeted campaign support and structured onboarding.
- A product that sells on merit - national acceptance, pump price discounts, online account management and contactless payment via the Shell Card GO app give you a genuinely competitive proposition to take to market.
What Success Looks Like
You'll thrive in this model if you're energised by:
- Hunting, engaging and closing new B2B accounts.
- Building and working a disciplined, high-quality pipeline.
- Running consultative, ROI-led conversations with fleet and business decision-makers.
- Growing account value over time - because your income grows with it.
About You
- 5-10+ years in B2B field sales or business development, with demonstrated new business results.
- Experience selling into transport, fleet, industrial or related commercial sectors highly regarded; fuel industry experience advantageous but not essential.
- Strong pipeline discipline across face-to-face and phone-based selling.
- Commercially sharp, self-directed and accountable - you want ownership, not supervision.
- Entrepreneurial drive matched with the discipline to operate within a proven framework.
