The Business Development Manager (BDM) is responsible for improving the performance of franchisee businesses as part of a growing, sustainable retail distribution network.
This role will primarily allocate their time to planning, scheduling, and undertaking on-site visits with decision-makers in franchised businesses. This long-term sales growth is underpinned by identifying opportunities to optimise customer access to lotteries by growing a sustainable lotteries distribution network.
This role involves developing plans to coach and support approximately franchised retail outlets in geographical territory, with a focus on growing sales from lotteries, standards that improve customer experience and strengthening the viability of the retailer's overall business.
As the primary point of contact for retailers, the Business Development Manager will leverage their experience and knowledge of a range of retail outlets and collaborate with other team members, in particular Retail Operations Consultants, to build recommendations for what retailers and their teams could do to improve performance.
The BDM will coach and encourage retailers and their teams to embrace new initiatives for growth, where lotteries is fundamental to the long-term viability of their business. Please note this is a 6 month contract in our Brisbane South/Gold Coast region.
What you'll do
Franchisee Support and Coaching

These initiatives will supercharge the customer experience, accelerate retail and digital channel convergence, and improve the operations and commercial performance of their business.
- Support local goal setting and structured action plans that give retailers practical direction and ideas to improve performance, lift customer satisfaction, and maximise profitability of their business.

Performance Analysis and Monitoring:
- Monitor the performance of franchise sites within the portfolio by analysing financial reports, sales data, and operational metrics.

Training and Development:
- Ability to lead by example and demonstrate topics such as sales techniques, customer service, product knowledge, and operational best practices.
- Identify training needs and opportunities within the franchise network, coordinating with the Training department to develop and implement relevant training programs.
Performance Reporting and Analysis:
- Use comprehensive reports on franchisee performance, using benchmarking and highlighting key trends, challenges, and successes to inform one-on-one discussions with retailer decision-makers to deliver improvements in the performance of their entire business. 
- Regularly communicate performance updates to senior management and collaborate on strategic initiatives and identify opportunities for improvement.
