Client
Agriculture and food production continue to be among Australia's strongest growth industries. As businesses expand, securing high-quality talent has never been more important. For more than 47 years, our client has been Australia's leading specialist agribusiness recruitment company. They partner with leading organisations across agriculture, horticulture, food production and agribusiness throughout Australia and New Zealand. Due to continued growth, we are seeking an experienced Business Development Manager to help drive expansion within the horticulture sector and broader agrifood industries.
 
Role
This is not a traditional 360-degree recruitment role. We are seeking a commercially focused business developer who enjoys opening doors, building relationships and generating revenue. Your primary responsibility will be securing recruitment assignments and developing long-term client partnerships across the horticulture and agribusiness sectors. Supported by an experienced recruitment delivery team, you will be free to focus on winning new business and growing strategic client accounts. If you are an experienced recruiter who enjoys business development far more than administration and delivery, this is an outstanding opportunity.
 
Requirements

• Previous recruitment industry experience is essential
• Agribusiness, horticulture or food industry recruitment experience is highly regarded
• Proven business development and sales capability
• Strong relationship-building and networking skills
• Highly motivated, energetic and commercially driven
• Confidently engaging senior decision makers 
• Self-driven with the ability to work autonomously
• Able to hit the ground running

Location & Remuneration
The position can be based in Melbourne or the surrounding regional Victoria. An attractive salary package will be negotiated based on experience and will include a competitive base salary together with a highly rewarding performance-based incentive structure. Regular travel throughout Victoria and occasional interstate travel will be required.
