An award-winning Australian brand, recognised for its handcrafted, design-led products and deep commitment to sustainability, is entering an exciting new phase of growth.

With a strong footprint across the  primary education sector , this purpose-driven business partners with schools, councils, and community organisations to create meaningful, high-quality environments that make a lasting impact.

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced sales professional to step into a leadership role and  build something of their own .

The Opportunity
This role is ideal for a senior sales and business development professional who thrives on ownership, momentum, and results.

As Sales Manager, you will take full responsibility for establishing and leading the sales function nationally. You will drive strategic partnerships across primary schools and education networks while remaining hands-on in execution, closing deals, building trust, and setting the commercial foundations for long-term growth.

Reporting directly to the leadership team, you’ll have influence, autonomy, and a clear voice in shaping the future of the business.

• Laying the foundations for a scalable, high-performing national sales team

• A proven background in  sales or business development within the primary school education sector  (essential)
• Strong experience selling  physical products , ideally across both B2C and B2B channels
• A consistent history of achieving and exceeding revenue targets
• Confidence engaging senior stakeholders and decision-makers
• A proactive, organised, and driven approach to your work
• High energy, resilience, and a genuine hunger to build something meaningful
• Exposure to ecommerce or online sales channels will be highly regarded
