This is a pure B2B Business Development role that is responsible for the entire 360 sales cycle from initial prospecting and hunting through to closing out new opportunities across our Key Account Segment (Clients with turnover >$250M PA). Additionally, your time will be spent managing and nurturing existing accounts (post-close) for up to 12 months, where further upsell/ cross-sell opportunities will exist.

This role reports directly to the Sales Manager – Key Accounts and is a full-time opportunity offering hybrid working conditions based out of our Melbourne CBD office.

Some of your responsibilities include and are not limited to:

Strategic Business Development:

• Identify new business opportunities within the key account portfolio and expand relationships across different divisions or subsidiaries.
• Develop and execute territory and account-specific growth strategies to increase wallet share and establish long-term partnerships.

 Solution Selling & Value Delivery:

• Deeply understand CreditorWatch’s suite of products to communicate the value proposition effectively.
• Provide product demonstrations, client training, and value propositions to ensure clients fully leverage CreditorWatch services.

 Client Engagement & Relationship Building:

• Serve as the primary point of contact for key accounts, building strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels, including C-suite executives.
• Maintain regular communication with key clients, ensuring that they are satisfied with the services provided and addressing any issues proactively.

 Collaboration & Cross-Functional Coordination:

• Work closely with the Sales, Marketing, Data Acquisition, and Product teams to ensure smooth delivery of services and continuous product improvement based on customer feedback.
• Partner with the Technical Pre-Sales team to assist in complex solution implementations and provide technical expertise to clients including tenders and RFX.

 Sales Reporting & Forecasting:

• Track and report on account performance, revenue growth, and key sales metrics.
• Prepare and deliver account reviews, sales forecasts, and pipeline reports to senior management.

 Market Awareness & Competitor Analysis:

• Stay up to date with industry trends, market developments, and competitors to provide insights that inform strategy and client engagement approaches.
• Provide feedback to the product team to ensure CreditorWatch offerings remain competitive and meet market demand.

To be successful in the role, you’ll ideally have worked within in a quota-carrying AE role (preferably in SaaS) for at least 7 years, managing complex sales cycles (6-12 months). You will be a natural hunter who enjoys identifying, hunting and closing new business. You’ll have strong communication and problem-solving skills which will enable you to have the right conversations to then uncover the Customer’s needs and provide strong solutions. In short, you need to be resilient, ambitious and nurturing in your approach.
