REQUIRED: FLUENT IN MANDARIN

Are you a relationship-driven sales professional with a passion for architecture, design, and premium building materials? Do you thrive on influencing specifications, building long-term partnerships, and seeing your products featured in standout projects across the built environment?

This is your opportunity to represent a respected Australian manufacturer and take ownership of a high-potential territory and strategic growth regions.


The Company

Our client is a highly respected Australian manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for quality, craftsmanship, and design integrity across the architecture, design, and construction sectors.

For decades, they have partnered closely with architects, designers, builders, developers, and distributors to deliver premium brick and surface solutions across residential, commercial, education, hospitality, and large-scale architectural projects throughout Australia.

Renowned for their design-led approach, exceptional service, and premium product offering, they have built a strong reputation within the architectural community as a trusted specification partner.

As the business continues to invest in strategic growth, they are seeking a commercially minded and relationship-focused Business Development Manager to help drive market presence and specification activity — including growing demand from Mandarin-speaking clients and stakeholders.


The Role

As Business Development Manager, you'll be responsible for managing and developing sales in your area - focusing on increasing exposure, driving specifications, and building long-term brand value across the architecture and construction sectors.

This is a highly visible, relationship-driven role where success comes from strategic engagement, consultative selling, and the ability to position premium products within design-led conversations. The business has seen strong interest from Mandarin-speaking clients, and your language skills will be central to building rapport, trust, and deeper engagement within this growing segment of the market.

You'll work closely with architects, designers, builders, developers, and distributors - guiding projects from concept through to construction while collaborating internally with operations, logistics, production, and support teams to ensure a seamless client experience.

This role will suit someone who enjoys autonomy, values long-term relationships over transactional sales, and understands the importance of balancing design intent, commercial outcomes, and delivery integrity.

You'll be supported by an experienced leadership team while being trusted to take ownership of your territory, contribute ideas, and play a key role in the company's continued national growth.

• Collaborate closely with internal teams including operations, logistics, production, and customer support
• Manage pipeline activity, forecasting, and project tracking through CRM and ERP systems
• Develop and execute strategic territory and business development initiatives

About You

You're a commercially minded and proactive sales professional who enjoys working closely with architects, designers, and construction professionals in a specification-led environment.

You understand premium positioning, solution-based selling, and the importance of delivering exceptional service and follow-through in a relationship-driven industry.

You're confident engaging across all levels of the project chain - from design teams through to builders and delivery partners - and enjoy building credibility through consistency, professionalism, and market knowledge.

• Strong relationship-building and communication skills
• Ability to manage projects from concept through to completion
• Commercial acumen with the ability to balance design, delivery, and commercial outcomes
• Experience using CRM and ERP systems to manage pipeline and forecasting activity
• Self-motivated, organised, and comfortable managing a territory autonomously

What's In It For You?

• Competitive base salary + superannuation
• Company vehicle + tools of trade
• Performance incentive structure aligned to achievable targets and outcomes
• Represent a premium Australian manufacturer with a strong industry reputation
