National Business Development Manager - QSR

Location: melbourne
Job Type: permanent
Salary: $200000 per annum
Contact: Sarah Hay
Our client is a global dairy business experiencing strong growth and making a strategic investment in the QSR channel, creating an exciting new opportunity within the business. This newly created role is a critical growth pillar and will play a key role in driving new revenue while helping shape the future go-to-market and resourcing model across both Contract Manufacturing and QSR.
 
The role will own new business development across Contract Manufacturing and the QSR channel, operating in a high-volume environment supported by strong market growth. Opportunities span both established brands and emerging players, many already well advanced, and you will manage the full commercial lifecycle from qualification and negotiation through to conversion and close. Approximately 40–50% of the role will be focused on QSR, with initial ownership of a major Tier 1 QSR account alongside broader engagement across a portfolio of leading national and second-tier QSR customers. The role will drive LTOs, ranging and innovation opportunities, incremental wins and new business, supported by an active pipeline and significant future growth potential.
 
To be successful in this role, a strong national & senior QSR background is essential and is highly transferable into a contract manufacturing environment. You will bring deep commercial capability in bespoke, customer-led settings and be comfortable operating in complex, fast-moving environments. Experience in dairy or short shelf-life categories is beneficial but not critical. This role will suit a proven new business developer with a strong hunting mindset and a track record of converting opportunity into revenue. You will be commercially astute, confident owning negotiations and senior customer conversations end to end, and capable of translating customer needs into clear operational and commercial outcomes internally. A leadership mindset is important, with the ability to influence, guide and help shape future capability as the business continues to grow.
