Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Bespoke Careers - Melbourne Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

This established architectural products business specialises in premium door hardware for high-end residential and commercial projects. With proven success in Brisbane and Sydney, they're launching their flagship Melbourne operation and seeking a Business Development Manager to be part of this exciting new journey and own the Melbourne market.

This is a rare ground-floor opportunity with an established, profitable business. You'll receive comprehensive mentoring before taking full autonomy of the Melbourne market.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain relationships with architects, designers, builders, and industry professionals
  • Position product range solutions early in the design process rather than as an afterthought
  • Conduct product presentations and client consultations with a consultative, solution-focused approach
  • Manage client relationships from initial contact through to project completion
  • Develop territory strategy and identify new business opportunities within the A&D sector
  • Support showroom operations once flagship space is established
  • Collaborate with interstate team while operating independently in Melbourne
  • Represent the brand at industry events and networking opportunities

Skills & Experience

  • Background in Architecture, Interior Design, Construction, or related A&D industry experience
  • Alternative backgrounds considered: A&D products, architectural hardware, building materials, or premium product sales
  • Strong understanding of architectural specifications and construction processes
  • Proven relationship-building skills with design professionals
  • Confident communicator who's comfortable picking up the phone and making connections
  • Self-motivated problem solver who thrives with autonomy
  • Professional presentation suitable for premium brand representation
  • Genuine enthusiasm for architectural products and design excellence

Why this opportunity is different

  • Join an established business with proven market success
  • Build Melbourne's flagship showroom operation with creative freedom
  • Work with premium products that architects genuinely want to specify
  • Strong company backing with established industry relationships
  • Real autonomy to shape strategy and make the role your own
  • Future team expansion planned as business grows

Company Culture

This business values relationship-building over transactional sales, quality experiences over volume, and empowers team members to take ownership of their markets. With strong employee retention and a collaborative approach, they're committed to long-term success rather than quick wins.

This role suits a relationship-focused professional who understands the A&D market, thrives with independence, and wants to build something substantial with proper backing and mentorship.
