Job description

Join an established business with a strong reputation, loyal customers, excellent products and, importantly, a fantastic team of experienced people

• Be part of a global enterprise
• Great local SA team providing you with autonomy
• Genuine Opportunity to Lead & Grow

Are you ready for a global company, need more autonomy, want greater influence and the opportunity to really make your mark.

Are you a commercially driven leader who loves driving further success in an award-winning business, enjoy driving business relationships and getting the best out of people.

If this sounds like you, I'd love you to keep reading.

I'm partnering with a highly respected global leader in industrial technology to recruit a Business Sales & Operations Manager to lead its Australia and New Zealand Industrial Services business.

What makes this opportunity particularly appealing is that you're not starting from scratch! You would be joining an established business with a strong reputation, loyal customers, excellent products and, importantly, a fantastic team of experienced people right here in South Australia.

You will appreciate the backing and resources of a global organisation, combined with the autonomy to drive growth and shape the future of the A/NZ business.

The Opportunity

This is a role for someone who loves the commercial side of business but equally enjoys leading people and making operations run well.

You’ll take ownership of sales, business performance and day-to-day operations, working closely with international leadership while leading a capable local team.

Your focus will include:

• Driving sales growth, developing new business and expanding market share across ANZ.
• Building strong relationships with customers and identifying commercial opportunities.
• Leading and developing the SA team across sales, service and operations.
• Managing profitability, budgets and overall business performance.
• Improving operational efficiencies and customer service delivery.
• Creating a positive, accountable and high-performing team culture.

What We Are Looking For?

A commercially minded, hands-on leader who knows how to grow a business and bring people along for the journey.

Ideally you will bring...

• Experience as a Business Manager, General Manager, Sales & Operations Manager or similar.
• A proven track record in sales growth, commercial leadership and operational management.
• Experience within industrial equipment, engineering, manufacturing or technical services.
• Previous leadership experience within a $10M-$50M business.
• Strong financial acumen, excellent people skills and a practical, down-to-earth approach.

You don't need to be the technical expert. There is a knowledgeable team around you. What matters is your ability to lead, grow the business and make sound commercial decisions.

Why Is This Such a Great Opportunity?

• Global backing, local autonomy - the resources and reputation of an international business with the freedom to make an impact.
• A great team in SA - experienced, supportive people who know the business.
• Excellent earning potential - attractive salary, super and performance-based bonuses.
• Real growth opportunities - an established business with exciting potential across Australia and New Zealand.
• Genuine leadership influence - the opportunity to shape strategy, develop people and see the results of your efforts.

A Final Word From Us...

Having worked with businesses and senior leaders for many years, we know that a great career move is about more than just salary or job title.

It's about joining the right business, working with good people and having the opportunity to make a genuine difference.

If you're a natural commercial leader, a strong people manager and someone who loves taking ownership, I'd really like to hear from you.
