We’re seeking a Schools Business Development Manager to help us grow in South Australia

With over 15 years serving the Australian education sector, Compass is well known and loved amongst K-12 schools and we need you to help drive further success.

With your passion, energy and savvy sales acumen, you’ll spend your days building and driving conversations within the government school sector.

- Support and attend local and national marketing events.
- Collaborate with the Onboarding and Training Team to bring new Customers onto the Compass Platform quickly and efficiently.
- Maintain your territories pipeline including documenting, tracking and following up on all active opportunities.
