About the role

As a Business Development Manager at Plenti, you’ll play a pivotal role in driving the growth of our consumer lending portfolio while expanding our brand presence within your designated state.

To succeed, you’ll leverage your extensive network, industry expertise, and passion for sales to drive results and be a trusted partner to both brokers and internal teams. This role requires someone who thrives in a fast-paced, customer-centric environment and is comfortable working autonomously while balancing cross-functional collaboration.

• Represent Plenti at industry events, conferences, and networking opportunities as the face of the business
• Collaborate closely with Relationship Managers and National Sales Manager to align on key initiatives
• Provide ongoing training and support to brokers to improve their understanding of Plenti’s products and processes
• Track, analyse, and report on sales performance, ensuring alignment with business objectives

About You

• 3+ years experience in business development, sales, or account management within financial services and broker networks
• A strong network within the broker or aggregator landscape, with the ability to build and maintain high-value relationships
• Proven track record of success, consistently achieving and exceeding sales and growth targets
• Exceptional communication, negotiation, and influencing skills to engage key stakeholders and drive outcomes
• A strategic mindset, capable of developing and executing long-term sales initiatives
• Deep knowledge of lending products, credit risk underwriting, and market dynamics
• Resilience and adaptability, thriving in a fast-paced environment and navigating challenges with confidence
• Strong time management and self-organisation skills, with the ability to work autonomously
• Collaboration and teamwork, working cross-functionally to drive shared success and enhance broker and customer relationships
• Integrity and professionalism, building trust through transparency, reliability, and ethical decision-making
