Job description

Junior Business Development Manager — Kickstart Your Sales Career

Ever wondered what it would be like to build a real career instead of just clocking in and out? This could be it.

We're on the hunt for someone hungry to learn, grow, and eventually own their patch in sales. Whether you're fresh out of school, weighing up your options, or not sure what's next — this role has room for you to run with it.

Joining our team means learning from people we've actually stayed the distance (several have been with us over ten years) and picking up skills that'll serve you for life. We'll back you every step of the way — the goal is to set you up for the long haul, not just fill a vacancy.

New to sales? Bring the enthusiasm and reliability, and we'll teach you everything else — you'll be up and running fast, with plenty of room to make the role your own.

Why you'll want this one

• Genuine career progression
• Real, hands-on training in skills that last a lifetime
• A supportive, experienced team in your corner from day one
• No two days the same — variety built right in

The day-to-day

• Building sales strategies that actually bring in new clients
• Growing genuine relationships with potential customers
• Digging into target markets to uncover fresh opportunities
• Negotiating deals and pricing to close new business
• Teaming up with colleagues to see projects through
• Tracking performance and reporting on what's working

Who we're after

No need to tick every single box — but you'll go far if you've got:

• Initiative and the confidence to work independently
• Decent computer skills (Office 365 is a bonus) and a knack for picking up new systems
• A genuine team-player mindset
• Sharp organisation and an eye for detail
• Strong written and verbal communication
• The ability to juggle a full plate without dropping the ball
• Good judgement and a sense of responsibility

This role is based in Tullamarine, VIC.

A little about us: Bee Dee Bags has been supplying retail packaging across Australia since 1974. We've got offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Auckland, with our head office in Wagga Wagga.
