Lead Generation Specialist

Sales with a Cause

• Lead Generation Specialist
• Collingwood, VIC
• Part time, 4 days per week

Every lead you generate helps open a door that has been closed for too long. At Expression Australia, our commercial services are not just revenue, they are the bridge that lets Deaf and hard of hearing Australians access the businesses, workplaces and services everyone else takes for granted. If you love the thrill of the chase and want your sales skills to mean something bigger, this is the role for you.

Who we are

Expression Australia's purpose is to empower Deaf and hard of hearing people to achieve better economic, cultural, social and civic participation in the community. Since 1884, we have been working with our community to co design services and market leading programs.

We are an iconic and progressive community organisation, and our people are driven by a passion to work in a bilingual, bicultural organisation that respects both Auslan and English equally.

About the job

We are looking for a natural connector, someone who is energised by opening a conversation and turning a cold call into a warm relationship. You will proactively generate and qualify new business opportunities across our range of commercial services, spanning interpreting, training, audiology, video and more, then hand each opportunity to the internal team best placed to bring it home. You stay close enough to help that sale close, without carrying the full weight of the cycle yourself.

Every conversation you have and every deal you help create funds and grows the services our community relies on. This is a rare chance to bring genuine sales energy to work that matters.

This position is part time, four days per week, based at our Collingwood head office, reporting to the Head of Customer Care and Operations.

About you

You are an energetic self starter who thrives on building relationships and opening doors. You are resilient, comfortable with cold outreach and consistent follow up, and just as motivated by purpose as you are by results. You are organised, comfortable owning your own pipeline, and genuinely energised by the idea of making a difference alongside making a sale.

Skills and qualifications

• Demonstrated experience in a lead generation, sales development or business development role
• Confident, resilient communicator, comfortable with cold outreach and follow up
• Proficiency using Salesforce or a comparable CRM to manage pipeline and activity
• Current valid driver licence (EA pool cars available for travel to meetings and events)
• Prior experience or exposure to the Deaf community, Auslan, or the disability and NDIS sector is desirable, training pathways available if not already held

Our Benefits

Bilingual & Inclusive Workplace

• We value Auslan and English equally.
• Free in-house Auslan training and coaching for staff.
• Deaf Awareness & Communication Training for all.

Health & Well-being

• Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Free, private counselling support when you need it.

Growth & Learning

• Ongoing training, workshops, and clear career planning.
• Study leave options to support your professional goals.

Flexibility

• Paid parental leave.
• Flexible working hours to help you balance life and work
