We are a global recruitment agency looking for an experienced Business Development Manager for one of our clients, a leading distributor of security and communication technology across Australia and New Zealand.

This is an opportunity for an experienced security-industry professional to take ownership of business development across Western Australia, growing existing relationships while actively building new business across the region.

We are looking for someone who already knows the WA security market. You may already have relationships with installers, consultants, builders, specifiers, integrators, or other key industry stakeholders and understand how business gets done within the local market.

Importantly, this role also offers long-term leadership potential as the Western Australian operation continues to grow.
