Offer description

Within our Regulatory Compliance sales team, you'll find a high‐energy, results‐driven environment where individual performance is recognised, wins are celebrated, and effort is rewarded. This is a team for people who enjoy being on the front foot, love the chase, and want their success to be clearly visible

About the Role

This role is built for a pure new business hunter. We're looking for a hands‐on BDM with 3+ years of strong B2B sales experience who thrives on prospecting, opening doors, and closing new logos. Your success will come from your own pipeline, activity and results.

You'll be responsible for identifying and winning new customers across the compliance and regulatory landscape, engaging senior decision‐makers, and positioning smart software‐led solutions that solve real business problems.

If you're motivated by targets, enjoy building momentum through high activity, and want to continue growing as a high‐performing individual contributor — this role is for you.

This is a permanent, full‐time position, reporting to the BDM Team Lead, and can be based in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane, with flexible hybrid working arrangements.

* Background in SaaS, software, legal, compliance, professional services or similar
* Proven success consistently hitting or exceeding sales targets
* Experience managing the full sales cycle end‐to‐end
* Strong prospecting, qualification and closing skills
* Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders in a consultative sales environment
* Excellent communication and presentation capability
* CRM experience (Salesforce exposure highly regarded)
* A genuine hunter mindset — driven, resilient and motivated by results
