Job description

Are you a driven, results-oriented professional with a passion for the electrical sector? Ready to take on an exciting role where you can use your expertise to shape the future of a rapidly growing business? We're looking for a Business Development Manager to join our dynamic team at MM Welshpool and help us expand our presence in the electrical wholesale market!

About Us

MM Electrical Merchandising is the leading electrical wholesaler within Australia, with over 340 locations. We are an organisation that encourages the contribution of all people to make a difference and be part of a team that inspires each other to work together to achieve great things. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a talented individual to help us drive our success even further.

Your Role

As the Business Development Manager, you will play a pivotal role in expanding our business and strengthening our market position. You’ll work closely with key stakeholders, including both suppliers and clients, identifying new opportunities, building lasting partnerships, and increasing revenue streams.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute strategic business development plans to expand our customer base and market share.
• Monitoring market trends and competitor activity to identify new growth areas
• Build and maintain relationships with existing and new clients across multiple industries
• Provide exceptional customer service, ensuring client satisfaction and long-term success
• Negotiating and managing sales-based promotions and engaging customer entertainment activities
• Regularly report on business development activities, growth, and market insights

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in business development, sales, or account management within the electrical wholesale sector (or similar industries)
• Strong understanding of electrical products and the supply chain.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Demonstrated ability to identify and qualify new business opportunities

• Work in a fast-growing, supportive, and innovative environment, that values respect, integrity and transparency

We want to speak with ambitious and driven candidates who see themselves in leadership roles in their long-term future. You could have experience with another electrical wholesaler, the hardware or building supplies industry, big box retail or perhaps have been on the tools and want to put those skills to use in a different way. A track record in an electrical wholesale role is not essential, though would be looked at favourably! Most important is your ability to lead by example, display maturity under pressure and a passion for customer service.
