Salary: Competitive

Contact: Alexandria Craig
Six Degrees Executive is proud to be partnering with UDIA Queensland on the appointment of a Relationship Manager to join their commercial team in Brisbane.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is genuinely relationship-led, commercially minded, and motivated by building long-term partnerships rather than transactional sales. Based in the Brisbane CBD this role will take ownership across member engagement, membership growth, renewals, event participation, and professional development-related activity. UDIA Queensland plays a key role within the property and development sector, bringing together industry stakeholders through membership, advocacy, events, and professional development. This position will sit at the centre of that engagement, helping to strengthen member relationships while identifying opportunities for growth across the market.

This role will be responsible for managing and growing membership revenue through a combination of retaining and deepening existing member relationships, while also identifying and converting new membership opportunities. It is a role with a clear commercial focus, though one that is built around credibility, long-term value, and genuine relationship building. 

Key responsibilities will include:
  • Managing and growing existing member relationships to ensure members are engaged and receiving clear value from their membership
  • Driving new membership acquisition and building a pipeline of prospective member organisations
  • Meeting with prospective members and broader industry stakeholders to generate new opportunities
  • Managing the annual renewal cycle end-to-end
  • Leveraging UDIA Queensland’s extensive events calendar, as a relationship-building and commercial opportunity
  • Supporting engagement across leadership and professional development programs
  • Assisting with sponsorship-related activity where relevant
  • Encouraging member participation in programs such as the Awards for Excellence
  • Using data and member insights to identify gaps, opportunities, and ways to improve the overall membership lifecycle
  • Bringing market and member feedback back into the business to support broader team thinking and strategic direction
About you
While direct property sector experience would be beneficial, it is not essential. UDIA Queensland is open to candidates from adjacent sectors who bring the right balance of relationship management capability, commercial acumen, and drive. You may have come from a background such as:
  • Membership associations
  • B2B partnerships
  • Business development
  • Events and sponsorship
  • Professional services
  • Media or stakeholder-led environments
The successful person will likely be:
  • A self-starter who can take initiative and build momentum quickly
  • Comfortable building, managing, and converting a pipeline
  • Commercially minded without being overly transactional
  • Energised by relationship building and identifying opportunity
  • Organised and able to manage multiple moving parts at once
  • Strong in project coordination and follow-through
  • Naturally curious and proactive in the market
  • A problem solver and a genuine team contributor
  • A strong cultural fit and simply a good human
This role will suit someone who enjoys being out in market, building trusted long-term relationships, spotting commercial opportunity, and contributing to a collaborative, well-connected business in a way that is both meaningful and commercial.
