How does being Employee #1 in Australia sound - but with the safety net of a major, established client already in your pocket?
What if you could earn commission on existing, smooth-running business while you hunt for new wins?
And what if those new wins paid out at an even higher rate, backed by a ‘one-stop shop’ production powerhouse that handles all the heavy lifting for you?
If you’re a seasoned BDM who loves the thrill of the chase but is tired of selling hollow solutions or starting from a cold desk, keep reading.
This isn't your average sales job - it’s a career-defining move to set up and potentially lead a country's operations for a market-leading POS/brand activation firm.
The Company
WOW Recruitment are partnered with a premier brand activation and POS firm. They are a genuine one-stop shop covering everything from production to logistics and integrated technology platforms.
They have recently landed a major global client in the retail sector whose Australian HQ is right here in Sydney, and the partnership is already humming. Now, they need a heavy hitter on the ground to anchor this relationship and continue building their Australian presence.
As a BDM, you’ll be the face of the business in Australia. Your mission is two-fold…
Own the Anchor: You’ll manage the major Sydney client relationship, attending WIPs, building rapport, and spotting every opportunity to expand the footprint within their business.
The Hunt: You’ll leverage a full-service offering to target the FMCG and Retail sectors. Because the business handles everything in-house, you’re selling a seamless solution that actually solves client headaches.
Why This Role is Different
- The Trajectory: This isn't just a sales seat. We are looking for a future Country Manager. As the Australian arm grows, so does your role and your remit.
- The Money: We know good BDMs are rare. That’s why the commission structure rewards you for the stability of existing business and pays a premium for the new business you bring in.
- The Pitch: It’s an easy sell when you can genuinely say, "We do it all." No more coordinating five different vendors for one campaign.
You’re likely already in the industry, perhaps working for a print house, a POS specialist, a retail design agency, or an experiential/events firm.
You know the FMCG and/or Retail landscape, and you understand that long sales cycles require patience, grit, and a proactive outreach attitude.
Ideally, you bring:
- A proven track record in sales or account management within print, production, POS, or experiential agencies.
- You’re comfortable with networking and targeted outreach to build a pipeline from scratch.
- You can walk into a boardroom or a retail floor and build instant credibility.
- You’re happy working as the sole Sydney representative (for now), staying connected with the NZ HQ daily.
- $100k + super + uncapped commission
- Commission paid on existing accounts and an increased level of commission paid on new business
- Sydney – as the first employee in Australia, there is flexibility to work remotely.
- However, you will need to be comfortable travelling around Sydney as required for client meets, as well any other travel necessary.
