About the role

As a Senior Business Development Manager at Zeller, you’ll accelerate our enterprise sales growth by prospecting, converting, and closing deals with Australia's largest businesses, franchisors, groups, and organisations.

You are an adept and highly experienced outbound seller who thrives on winning large deals and engaging in financial, operational, and technical discovery at all levels of an organisation, from owner through to the c-suite.  

You will bring experience selling to large organisations within the hospitality, retail, franchise, automotive, and services sectors, and an in-depth understanding of the buyer journey and decision-making criteria.

• You can develop and execute account plans spanning multiple business units across complex organisations and stakeholders
• Strong written, verbal and presentation skills, particularly for in-person meetings with multiple stakeholders working across different business areas
• Proven ability to lead complex negotiations involving bespoke commercial agreements
• A strong commercial mindset and demonstrated ability to successfully manage and grow revenue quickly
• A competitive fire and desire to be a top performer.
• Resilience in the face of adversity and, and an underlying comfort in ambiguity while working in a fast-paced environment. You thrive in a challenge!
