Kardex VCA Pty Ltd is seeking a highly driven
National Business Development Manager (BDM)
with a strong hunter mindset to drive new customer acquisition across targeted market verticals such as mining, machinery and automotive parts, 3PL, and mid-level warehousing. This role requires both direct account acquisition and channel development, with a focus on driving measurable bookings and building a high-quality pipeline.
The successful candidate will act as a vertical champion, leading targeted campaigns and positioning our solutions to address the unique needs of each industry, requiring not only a strong sales track record but also deep insight into customer buying cycles, procurement processes, and decision-making structures within these industries. The successful candidate will also play a key role in channel management to expand market access and strengthen customer reach.
Key Responsibilities
New Business Development
- Identify, engage, and win new clients in mining, machinery and automotive parts, 3PL, racking, materials handling and warehousing sectors.
- Drive new revenue through outbound prospecting, proactive account acquisition, and strategic pursuit of target customers.
- Build, manage, and convert a robust pipeline to deliver bookings in both longer-cycle automation solutions and shorter-cycle storage-type product sales (fast-turn revenue).
- Map customer buying cycles and decision-making units to align sales strategies.
- Build and maintain a strong pipeline of qualified opportunities, focusing on short new business opportunities, long-cycle enterprise deals and repeat mid-market engagements.
- Deliver consultative proposals tailored to industry-specific challenges (cost optimisation, uptime, safety, productivity).
Market Vertical Expertise
- Develop deep expertise in key verticals, understanding procurement cycles, budget planning, and investment drivers.
- Act as a trusted advisor by providing insights into industry-specific supply chain challenges and automation opportunities.
- Guide marketing and product teams to shape value propositions aligned with vertical needs.
- Track competitor activity and evolving market dynamics within each vertical.
Channel & Partner Management
- Build, manage, and enable channel partners and integrators who specialise in these verticals.
- Collaborate with partners on account penetration, joint planning, and solution delivery.
- Monitor partner pipelines and performance, ensuring alignment with sales targets.
Strategic Contribution
- Support the national go-to-market strategy, with an emphasis on vertical-specific campaigns and accounts.
- Represent the company at industry forums, trade shows, and networking events relevant to mining, parts, 3PL, and warehousing.
- Provide feedback to leadership on market trends, customer expectations, and partner needs.
Requirements
- Proven track record as a business development manager / hunter in industrial solutions, automation, supply chain, or related fields.
- Strong knowledge of vertical markets: mining, general and automotive parts, 3PL, and mid-level warehousing.
- Demonstrated success navigating complex buying cycles and influencing multiple stakeholders (procurement, operations, engineering, finance).
- Experience in channel management and indirect sales models.
- Track record of meeting or exceeding multi-million dollar booking targets.
- Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills.
- Highly motivated, self-starter with national mobility and willingness to travel.
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary with performance-based incentives.
- A high-impact role with the opportunity to shape national growth in key vertical markets.
- Access to a strong portfolio of automation and supply chain solutions.
- A dynamic, growth-focused team culture that rewards initiative and results.
