New Business Development

With over 20 years experience and 400+ clients, we currently employ 35 staff and are growing at a rapid rate. Innovation and ideas are central to our mission to be the premier compliance solutions provider within the Australasian market.  

We provide staff with a collaborative and relaxed work environment surrounded by a supportive team and managers who strive to achieve a healthy work-life balance. We operate a staff first environment where providing a positive, inclusive, diverse, and happy work culture is central to who we are, how we operate, and who we hire. Headquartered in Melbourne, where staff work mostly from home, Safetrac is a fast-growing, award-winning provider of online training and audit tools. Our retention rates are high, with our average tenure of staff in excess of 8 years. We hire great people who do an amazing job for our fantastic company.  

The nature of compliance is rapidly evolving in Australia, and Safetrac is positioned as the leading provider of an ever-increasing list of compliance courses on its web-based platform. The pandemic has created an enormous increase in demand for our product, which when combined with our ever-evolving platform, has created the need for us to recruit four (4) new savvy and proactive Business Development Managers who back themselves to strategically identify and approach new contacts to either win new clients or grow existing accounts.

Four (4) Roles

• 2 X External New Business Development (selling to new clients)
  
  
• 2 X Internal Business Development Managers (selling to existing clients) 
  These people will be paired with 2 key existing Account Managers who manage and retain our current clients. Your role will be to onsell/upsell products and services to new departments, contacts and participants within those clients.   

Using your consultative selling skills, you will identify, educate and introduce prospective customers to grow our annual and recurring revenue. In return, you will be paid a generous salary with attainable bonus and commission scheme that rewards attainment of quarterly and annual goals, with accelerators for over-achievement.
