Business Development Specialist - Medical Gases

Join an established Australian gas supplier in a technical sales role supporting customers across the medical, healthcare, laboratory, university and research sectors.

Working closely with the Area Sales Manager, you will be given a steady on-ramp into new business development. This is not a role where you will be expected to immediately start cold calling and selling, rather you'll will first build a strong understanding of the territory, its customers and the technical solutions available before gradually increasing your focus on growth opportunities.

• Supporting medical and specialty gas projects across universities, laboratories, healthcare and research environments
• Preparing technical proposals, tenders, quotations, costings and contract documentation
• Working closely with the Area Sales Manager and internal technical, operations and customer service teams
• Developing structured account plans and customer call cycles
• Identifying opportunities to increase revenue across existing accounts
• Gradually building a pipeline of new business opportunities
• Managing territory performance against agreed sales and profitability targets
• Monitoring market trends, customer requirements and emerging applications
• Ensuring high service standards are maintained throughout each customer relationship
