Who we are

Gradability is Australia's largest dedicated graduate employability specialist. Our whole focus is on boosting the employability and employment outcomes for domestic and international graduates.

We are focused on changing the employment landscape for graduates and have a relentless commitment to providing an employability edge through learning and industry connections.

We are searching for an outstanding Business Development Manager to join our team on a Full Time Basis.

What we do

Our purpose, more than ever, is to revolutionise graduate employability and we do this by offering targeted programs to both domestic and international students.

Since 2008, we have helped over 35,000 graduates start their professional careers in Australia, primarily though our Professional Year Programs (offered under the Performance Education brand) but also through our various partnerships with universities and higher education providers.

We partner with over 11,500 Host Companies, allowing our dedicated Placements Team to find the right internship for our students, on time, every time. And it shows: 40% of our students are being offered a job directly from their internship.

What you offer us

  • Strong self-management and time management skills; ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines
  • A quick learner with adaptability to market changes
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage effectively with both internal and external stakeholders

Skills and experience

  • 3+ years of experience in international student recruitment, with the ability to hit the ground running
  • Proven success in consistently exceeding sales targets, particularly through education and migration agents
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to provide market insights and practical, effective solutions
  • Knowledge of the Professional Year Program and agency networks is highly regarded
