Our Business Development Team generates pipeline, identifies ideal customers, and set the foundation for long-term partnerships that help businesses thrive.
As a BDR Manager, you'll build a high-performing team that doesn't just hit numbers-they understand our merchants, represent our values, and create exceptional first impressions. You'll coach, motivate, and develop your team while partnering cross-functionally to refine our go-to-market strategy.

  • Own the team's pipeline generation goals, ensuring consistent achievement of monthly and quarterly SQL and meeting targets
  • Analyze funnel metrics to identify opportunities for improvement in outreach volume, conversion rates, and meeting quality
  • Work closely with Sales leadership to ensure pipeline meets quality standards and converts downstream
  • Implement best practices around prospecting, messaging, personalization, and outreach cadence
  • Partner with Marketing, Sales Ops, and Sales leadership to refine ideal customer profiles, territory strategy, and account prioritization
  • Test and iterate on messaging, channels, and tactics to improve response rates and engagement
  • Develop scalable coaching frameworks, onboarding programs, and performance management systems
  • Contribute to the broader BDR function strategy and share learnings across teams

You have:
  • 3+ years of experience in sales development, business development, or outbound sales, with at least 1+ years in a leadership or coaching capacity
  • Proven track record of managing and developing high-performing BDR/SDR/Sales teams that consistently meet or exceed pipeline targets
  • Deep understanding of outbound prospecting motions: cold calling, email sequencing, social selling, multi-channel outreach

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
