Job description

New Business Development - Account Executive

PLEASE NOTE - This role is either Salary + commission or commission only (commissions paid weekly). OTE of this role sits between $150,000 - $220,000 per annum.

About the Role

This is not a traditional sales role, and if your background is purely scripted, transactional selling, this won’t be the right fit.

Creative Edge Australia is seeking sharp, articulate professionals to join our Verification & Partner Assessment Team. You will be the first and most important point of contact for businesses applying to become preferred suppliers across our national platforms.

Your role is to qualify, vet, and assess businesses, asking the right questions, controlling the conversation, and determining whether they are genuinely suitable to be introduced to decision-makers across education, early learning, health, and aged care.

You’ll operate with authority and confidence, balancing professionalism with commercial awareness. This role requires critical thinking, strong judgment, and the ability to uncover what truly matters beneath surface-level answers.

This is a fast-paced, high-trust role where you’ll research prospects, source leads creatively, prepare tailored call strategies, and build urgency where appropriate, all without relying on rigid scripts.

If you are money-motivated, emotionally intelligent, resilient, and enjoy leading conversations rather than following them, you will thrive here.

About Us

Creative Edge Australia is the parent company behind three nationally recognised platforms:

• Education Australia – supporting schools, universities, and education bodies

• Australian Health & Aged Care (AHAC) – servicing hospitals, health providers, and aged care facilities

• Early Learning Australia – working with early learning centres and sector associations

Through these platforms, we connect vetted, compliant businesses with real decision-makers, helping facilities access appropriate funding pathways, products, and services while maintaining strict quality and compliance standards.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong phone presence – clear, professional, confident, and composed

• Authority & assertiveness – able to lead conversations and maintain control

• Research-driven mindset – curious, prepared, and able to ask sharp, meaningful questions

• Fast-paced adaptability – think on your feet, build urgency, handle the unexpected

• Resilience – rejection doesn’t deter you; it sharpens you

• Drive & accountability – uncapped commission rewards effort and results

• B2B phone experience – preferred but not essential

• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills

• Strong organisation & time management

• Intermediate computer skills – CRM, Google Suite, and new tools

• Professional presentation and conduct

Who Thrives in This Role?

• Hospitality professionals – resilient, people-focused, quick learners

• Recruitment consultants – research-driven, phone-confident, thick-skinned

• Government funding / grants experience – comfortable with structured processes and compliance

• Industry professionals, public speakers, business coaches, or association roles – confident communicators with authority and discipline

What We Offer

• 4-day working week: Monday-Thursday, 8:20am-4:30pm

• Full induction and ongoing training

• Highly achievable, uncapped commission + superannuation
  (or salary + commission package)

• Career progression within your first 3 months for high performers

• A positive, ambitious, and fast-growing team culture
