You'll be the face of Bellbird to new partners, focused on market development, relationship-building, and consultative selling—not order taking or admin. If you're a natural connector with a track record of winning new accounts and growing revenue in B2B or education, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Own

Strategic Growth

  • Tailor proposals, Fitout quotes and presentations to each prospect's needs
  • Ensure smooth handover to Customer Solutions/Account team post-sale

Market Presence

  • Represent Bellbird at industry events, conferences, and forums to generate leads and build brand authority
  • Gather market intelligence and feedback to inform product and service innovation

About You

  • 5+ years' experience in B2B new business development, sales, or partnerships—preferably in education, early learning, or a related sector.
  • Strong early-career outliers are welcome if you've closed $1m+ in net-new revenue annually.
  • Proven hunter: You consistently hit or exceed new business targets and can point to specific wins
  • Skilled at territory/segment ownership and managing a full sales cycle
  • Confidently engaging with senior stakeholders and tailoring value propositions
  • Commercially savvy, data-driven, and thrive in a growth-focused, team environment
  • Early learning sector knowledge is a plus, but we'll train the right commercial talent

How to Apply

Send your CV and a one-page cover letter to Angela Dean (HR Manager) at In your cover letter, tell us about a time you opened a new partnership or grew a client from zero—what was your approach, and what did you achieve?

Applications close Monday, 30th August.

Shortlisted candidates will be contacted within 7 days of closing.

Bellbird is committed to diversity, inclusion, and the well-being of our team, our customers, and the children we serve. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and experiences.
