As National Sales Manager, you will be entrusted with launching Melbourne‑based operations from inception through growth phases. You will build key relationships across government agencies, contractors, wholesalers, and infrastructure clients, driving both immediate sales results and long‑term brand recognition. The role requires hands‑on involvement in every aspect of business development—from defining operational processes to identifying new project opportunities in diverse sectors such as mining and marine construction.

• Build an early pipeline of projects with targeted sales expected within the first six to twelve months of operation.
• Drive revenue growth by cultivating relationships with wholesale and retail buyers, government bodies, and contractors across infrastructure and construction sectors.
• Engage proactively with general contractors and nurture connections with mid‑sized contractors who represent core market opportunities.
• Identify new business opportunities within infrastructure, foundation construction, marine facilities, and mining projects to expand market reach.
• Differentiate offerings through superior product quality, strong supplier relationships across Asia, and competitive pricing strategies.
• Define operational frameworks including warehousing, logistics, and inventory management tailored to local market needs.
• Develop comprehensive market‑entry strategies encompassing competitor analysis, pricing models, and go‑to‑market plans that position the company as a preferred supplier.
• Act as the cornerstone of local operations by transitioning from independent start‑up mode to building and leading a small team covering sales, logistics, and administration functions.
