Inside Sales Team Leader – Education & Early Learning

Office-Based Role | Winslow Education | Digby & Marmadukes

Based in North Sydney

Winslow Education is a fast-growing Australian supplier of Art & Craft materials, operating two specialist brands, Digby and Marmadukes, supplying schools and early learning centres nationwide. With a strong growth trajectory and an expanding national footprint, this is an exciting time to join the business.

We are building out a new inside sales function to help schools and childcare centres get set up and ordering with us, and we're looking for an Inside Sales Team Leader to help lead this small team.

About the Role

Reporting to the Managing Director, you will work alongside and help guide a small inside sales team, working by phone and email.

Day to day, this looks like answering questions, troubleshooting blockers, sending catalogues and product suggestions, and following up warm and cold opportunities. You will personally work opportunities alongside your team members, while also helping to organise workload and refine how the function operates as it grows. You'll work daily with Salesforce to manage your teams opportunities pipeline.

About You

You are approachable and customer-focused, with a genuine interest in helping people get set up and get moving rather than a hard-closing sales style. You will ideally bring some experience in inside sales, telesales, or a similar phone/email-based customer or sales role, along with some experience guiding, mentoring, or supporting others — this isn't a traditional sales management role, and we're open to someone stepping up into their first leadership opportunity.

You will also bring:

• A helpful, solutions-focused approach to guiding customers through activation and onboarding

• Confidence and warmth on the phone, with the ability to build quick rapport

• Comfortable making and helping your team sustain a high volume of calls and customer contacts each day

• Comfort working from a CRM (Salesforce experience highly regarded) to manage a high volume of opportunities

• Good organisational skills and the ability to prioritise a mixed pipeline of warm and cold opportunities

• A collaborative mindset — happy to help shape how this function runs as it grows

• Resilience and a positive, can-do attitude in a fast-paced, evolving environment

What We Offer

• $80,000 – $95,000 + Super, plus performance-based incentives

• The opportunity to help build and shape a brand-new function from an early stage

• Career growth and progression as the team and business scale

• A supportive, entrepreneurial team where your contribution is visible and valued

• The chance to help grow two exciting national education brands

If you enjoy helping customers over the phone, want to take a step into a team leadership role, and like the idea of building something new, we'd love to hear from you.
