Join to apply for the Business Development Manager role at Lotus People
Lotus People are proud to be partnering with a well-established, premium building product manufacturer known for their high-end engineered cavity slider systems. In this NSW-focused role, you'll work closely with architects, builders, and channel partners to grow brand presence and drive sales across residential and commercial markets. The business offers a collaborative, down-to-earth culture and is focused on outcomes, not red tape.
About The Role
As the NSW Business Development Manager, you'll play a key role in driving commercial and residential sales through architect, builder and channel networks. This is a proactive, market-facing role for a proven hunter - someone who thrives on uncovering new opportunities through outbound activity, pounding the pavement, making cold calls, and driving spec-based sales through demos and site visits. You'll work closely with a high-performing peer and the national manager, with full support from the Wetherill Park office team.
DUTIES
* Drive new business across NSW through outbound prospecting and cold outreach - this is not a passive sales role; the majority of your time (around 70%) will be focused on proactively creating opportunities
* Build strong pipelines via Estimate One, BCI, and direct project engagement
* Promote premium product specifications with architects, builders, and hardware resellers
* Conduct in-person demos and site visits across Sydney and wider NSW region
* Manage leads through Sugar CRM with full visibility on pipeline activity
* Provide competitor and market feedback to inform strategy and positioning
* Liaise with internal engineering and customer service teams to ensure seamless project delivery
SKILLS & EXPERIENCE
* Proven experience in B2B sales within building materials, construction supply or similar
* Strong understanding of channel-based sales - builder, contractor, and reseller pathways
* Confident dealing with architects, project managers, and procurement stakeholders
* Comfortable with outbound sales, cold calling, spec conversion, and face-to-face sales
* Ability to sell value in premium products (30-40% above standard market pricing)
* Technically competent, able to interpret plans and articulate product benefits
* Resilient, energetic and results-oriented—loves the chase and values the win
* Must be based in the Sydney metro area and hold a valid driver's license
BENEFITS
* Competitive salary and tools of trade (car, phone, laptop)
* 38-hour work week with a hybrid, self-managed structure
* Opportunity to work with a respected premium product
* Strong brand support and well-resourced internal marketing
* Career progression as national sales structure is built out
* Autonomy and ownership of your patch - no micromanagement
* Be part of a values-led, privately owned business with global backing
