Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Harmony Automotive BYD Full time

About Us

Backed by 
Harmony Auto
, we're building one of Australia's fastest-growing 
EV and premium automotive dealer networks
 across Australia and New Zealand.

We combine sustainability, technology, and a customer-first approach — and now we're looking for passionate people to help us deliver that vision.

About the Role

We're seeking a proactive 
Business Development Assistant
 to support our 
network expansion and property development projects
 — from site assessments and partner onboarding to compliance and OEM collaboration.

This role is ideal for someone who is detail-oriented, analytical, and business-minded — someone who enjoys transforming strategy into action. A 
real estate or property background
 is essential, and 
experience in real estate sales
 will be highly valued.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support business and network expansion: 
    market analysis, pipeline tracking, and feasibility assessments
    .
  • Conduct 
    real estate market research
     to identify potential sites and evaluate investment opportunities, especially within the 
    Melbourne metro area
    .
  • Prepare and manage project documentation — NDAs, applications, SOPs, and progress reports.
  • Coordinate with landlords, agents, councils, contractors, and vendors for due diligence, permits, and construction milestones.
  • Assist with 
    dealer and lease agreements
    , and ensure compliance with relevant legal and franchising codes.
  • Work closely with 
    OEM partners
     on brand standards, signage, and new store launches.
  • Prepare professional 
    PowerPoint presentations, data analyses, and business reports
     for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Maintain dashboards and performance tracking systems (KPI monitoring, coverage mapping, project timelines).
  • Ensure compliance with WHS, privacy, and other regulatory frameworks.
  • Support day-to-day 
    business development initiatives
     and cross-functional coordination.

What We're Looking For

  • 1-2 years' experience in 
    business development, real estate, project coordination, or automotive
    .
  • Solid understanding of the Melbourne real estate market
     and property dynamics.
  • Real estate sales or investment experience
     strongly preferred.
  • Strong 
    data analysis
     and 
    presentation
     skills (Excel, PowerPoint, dashboards).
  • Fluent in 
    both English and Mandarin
     (written and spoken) — essential for internal and regional collaboration.
  • Excellent organisational and communication skills; able to multitask effectively in a 
    fast-paced environment
    .
  • Collaborative, proactive, and detail-focused personality.
  • Current driver's licence and willingness to travel for site visits when required.
  • Legal or compliance exposure (contracts, leases, franchising code) highly regarded.

Why Join Us

  • Shape the future of a national 
    EV and premium automotive network
     during a period of exciting growth.
  • Work at the intersection of 
    automotive, real estate, and business strategy
    .
  • Collaborate with senior leaders, OEM partners, and property experts.
  • Clear career pathways into 
    Business Development, Property, Legal, or Operations
    .
  • Supportive and collaborative team culture — where your ideas make a real impact.
