Job description

Manufacturing Technology Consultant | AI, Cybersecurity, Cloud & Managed IT

Not just that factories are full of expensive machinery, production schedules rarely go exactly to plan, and the words "the system is down" can make an Operations Manager's blood pressure rise faster than a Friday afternoon production deadline.

You understand how manufacturing businesses actually operate, how business owners and operations leaders think, how technology decisions get made, and why reliability matters more than the cheapest quote.

Maybe you've sold manufacturing technology. Maybe you've worked in manufacturing IT. Maybe you've helped manufacturers modernise production systems, cybersecurity, ERP platforms, infrastructure or cloud environments.

Whatever your path, you know that manufacturing businesses don't buy technology for technology's sake. They buy outcomes.

First Focus is looking for a Manufacturing Technology Consultant to help Australian manufacturers confidently navigate AI, cybersecurity, managed IT and cloud transformation.

We are Australia's leading managed AI and IT services provider, and our marketing engine delivers a strong pipeline of qualified opportunities from businesses already looking to improve how they work.

This is an individual contributor role. It isn't a graduate sales position, and it isn't a lead
