Business Development Manager — Help Great Businesses Become Exceptional

Picture the owner of a $30M business. They built it from nothing. They won the contracts, carried the risk, and hired the team. By every external measure, they’ve made it.

But behind the scenes, the business has outgrown them. The systems that worked at $5M are cracking at $30M. The culture’s drifting. They’re still the bottleneck on everything that matters. They’re successful — and quietly stuck.

That’s who we help. And they’re exactly the kind of owner who commands real respect. The question is: are you the calibre of person who can earn theirs?

Read this if you’re done selling small.

About UpCoach:
We own the mid-market. UpCoach Business Advisory helps established, high-performing businesses across Australia, turning over $5M to $30M+, with teams of 5 to 50+ — simplify, structure and scale: the edge that makes a strong business exceptional. We work across a wide range of industries, from professional services, pharmaceutical and automotive to fit-out and interiors, mining and resources, and trades and construction. The common thread isn’t the sector, it’s a strong business that’s outgrown the way it’s run.

Our Consulting division is growing nationally. We need a Business Development Manager who can be the first conversation these owners have with us — and make it count.

What you’ll actually do:
You’ll open doors at owner and director level. You’ll hunt your own opportunities, work our internal database, and marketing Agency leads plus build genuine relationships with the kind of operators who don’t give their time to just anyone. You’ll diagnose where a successful business is being held back, and show them what the next level looks like.

You’ll close engagements, yes. But what you’re really doing is helping serious people unlock the full potential of what they’ve built — and securing the firm’s growth in the process.

You’re the right person if:

• 5+ years as a new-business BDM operating at a high level — and you’re proud of the rooms you’ve sold into

• You can hold your own with successful, sharp business owners — they respect you, not tolerate you

• You’ve sold across a range of sectors — professional services, pharmaceutical, automotive, fit-out and interiors, mining and resources, trades and construction — and adapt fast to whatever’s in front of you

• You generate your own leads and know how to convert a warm database

• You’re driven by both the win and the meaning behind it

• You’re an A-player who wants more than a commission cheque — you want work that matters
  

What’s in it for you:

• $130K–150K base + super — real reward for genuine performance, uncapped

• A premium client base and high-value engagements

• Autonomy to own and grow the division your way

• A team, database and toolset behind you

• The satisfaction of helping great businesses become exceptional

We’re not after someone who wants a job. We’re after someone who wants to operate at the top.

If that resonates, let’s talk.
