High-Performance Role | Hunter-Gatherer Sales Focus

Slattery Grays is revolutionising how assets are sold with great success and is a strong leader in eCommerce. Under new leadership we are reinvigorating our Automotive division and investing in experienced, driven professionals who can capitalise on our powerful platform and momentum.

We are now looking for a highly motivated, hunter-style Business Development Manager to join our high-performing Brisbane Automotive sales team. If you have a strong network of automotive dealers, wholesalers, or fleet clients — and the drive to build your own book of business — this is your opportunity to shine.

At Slattery Grays, the Business Development Manager role involves proactive, self-driven sales activity where you identify your own leads and build long-term relationships to become a trusted partner for the disposal of surplus assets across automotive.

For your efforts you will be rewarded with a competitive salary, an uncapped incentive plan, and a suite of benefits including ongoing training, flexible working arrangements, and the backing of a business focused on growth.

Your Responsibilities

• Assessing potential partners, performing competitive research, evaluating proposed deals/partnerships, and developing business cases for new business targets.
• Be the lead point of contact for customers, vendors, and internal stakeholders while delivering exceptional customer service.
• Leverage and grow your existing dealer or fleet network to build a strong pipeline of high-value opportunities.
• Build strong professional relationships within your local and national team.
• Provide accurate revenue forecasts and regularly review sales results to ensure KPIs and budget goals are met.
• Be regularly on-site with clients to provide market-leading advice and tailored sales solutions.
• Utilise strong interpersonal, influencing, and negotiation skills to secure and close new business.
• Plan, market, and execute local sales strategies, proposals, and presentations.
• Represent and promote the Slattery Grays brand externally and act as a true brand ambassador.
• Travel as required to meet your clients and execute sales strategies.

We're Looking for Someone Who Has

• A hunter mindset with a proven track record in sales, identifying and closing new business opportunities, and consistently exceeding targets.
• Existing networks and market knowledge within the automotive and/or transport sectors, particularly with dealerships, wholesalers, or fleet providers.
• Demonstrated success in operating effectively in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
• Confidence to manage and grow a self-sourced pipeline, without needing constant direction.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence clients at all levels.
• A flexible and adaptable approach in a constantly evolving business and market.
• Automotive industry experience is essential.
• A valid driver's licence and a willingness to travel.
• A strong ability to work autonomously, while also collaborating with remote colleagues and leadership.

What's in it for You

• The chance to join a growing business under new leadership with a clear vision and real momentum.
• A competitive salary, car allowance, and a commission structure that rewards results.
• A flexible, autonomous role where you're trusted to manage your own time and grow your territory.
• Ongoing development and sales training, and access to national support teams.
• Flexible work arrangements — work from home, the office, or on the road.
• Employee discounts and monthly vouchers to spend at Slattery Grays.
