As part of this growth, an opportunity has arisen for an Area Sales Manager to take ownership of the Canberra & Southern NSW territory.
Reporting to the National Sales Manager, this role plays a critical part in driving net sales, growing repeat orders, and ensuring best‑in‑class brand representation across a mature yet high‑potential territory.

We’re looking for a field‑based sales professional with 2+ years’ experience in workwear, footwear, apparel, tools, trade, or a related wholesale category. You’ll thrive on the shop floor, enjoy rolling your sleeves up in-store, and bring a relationship‑driven, organized approach to your territory. Analytical, commercially sharp, and highly autonomous, you’ll understand your numbers, know where the opportunities are, and execute with discipline. A current driver’s licence and comfort with regional travel (10–12 trips/year) are essential.
