Business Development Manager

Know the Plastics industry, but looking to spread your wings?

• Business Development and Account Management
• Huge value-add Plastics portfolio
• Australia and NZ coverage

Own and drive the further development of a Plastics and polymers portfolio across Australia and New Zealand, leveraging global brands, large established relationships, and a strong pipeline of opportunity.

We’re representing the Australia/New Zealand office of a global supplier of plastics, polymers and resins. The business has grown steadily with loyal customers, strategies and value add products across multiple applications and segments including healthcare, industrial, automotive and electrical.

A well-known brand in the sector, products marketed are a mixture of global supplier sources as well as that manufactured at company facilities throughout Asia. Indeed, from its global R&D team, further new products are presently being launched. Business remains strong in Australia and the company performed well last financial year.

We’re looking for a Business Development/Account Manager or Sales professional, to manage and grow the portfolio, across all states of Australia and New Zealand. In this autonomous position, you’ll carry revenue and margin targets, reporting to local leadership. Critically though you’ll have the support of a dedicated group of global Account Managers, Technical support and Product Managers, in addition to the local team and infrastructure.

Managing relationships throughout your portfolio, you’ll demonstrate a strong understanding of the production process, to continually expand product applications, whilst also introducing new industries and segments. You’ll understand the market, competitors and provide valuable technical support to clients and suppliers.

This is a relatively small office in Australia, but you are backed by a global company and its support and infrastructure. So, this will see you enjoy a close-knit team in Melbourne but backed by a global company. Perhaps an ideal mix these days! An international group, it will require some global reporting and liaison, but bureaucracy is kept to a minimum. The other thing to emphasise is that product is engineered, and represent value add applications and as such this is not a commodity sales role.

This is an exciting and autonomous role that manages A/NZ, backed by global support teams. It is an opportunity to develop and lead your own portfolio and share the rewards of growth. With its autonomy, huge value-add product range and the company growth, it’s a role that maps some real professional progression and development.

I hope that this has piqued your interest and indeed I would be pleased to tell you more.
