About the role

Are you a natural relationship‑builder who thrives on the road, loves autonomy, and enjoys winning in a competitive market? Connectnow is looking for a driven Business Development Manager (BDM) to grow and nurture our Real Estate partner network across the Melbourne Bayside, Werribee & Geelong region.

This is your chance to join a trusted national brand, help real estate partners maximise revenue opportunities, and play a key role in supporting thousands of customers moving home every year.

As our BDM, you’ll be at the heart of Connectnow’s growth story — building relationships, expanding our partner base, and ensuring our existing network is thriving. In this fast‑paced, competitive market, you’ll have the freedom to own your territory, deliver results your way, and bring fresh ideas to life. You’ll also work closely with a supportive network of peers, partner support teams, and our State Sales Manager — all dedicated to helping you succeed.

This role is on the road, meeting partners face‑to‑face and building genuine long‑term relationships. You’ll enjoy independence, flexibility, and the excitement of a role where every day is different.

You’ll also have support from our Melbourne‑based Partner Support and Call Centre teams to help you deliver a seamless partner experience.

What you’ll be doing:

• Managing and growing an active partner portfolio of ~70 real estate clients.

• Sourcing and generating new business leads across multiple channels.

• Building strong, commercial partnerships aligned with business strategy.

• Providing exceptional service and support to your partners, becoming a trusted advisor.

• Gathering market insights and feeding them back to shape future product and service improvements.

• Delivering results in a largely autonomous, on the road role, with regular travel across Melbourne Bayside, Werribee & Geelong.

• Collaborating with internal teams — from Partner Support to our broader BDM network — to drive consistent success.

What you’ll bring:

• Demonstrated experience in sales or account management.

• A track record of building strong client relationships and delivering growth.

• Experience in the Real Estate sector will be highly regarded.

• Strong communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills.

• A proactive, self motivated mindset with the ability to work autonomously.

• Someone who brings energy, discipline and commercial thinking to everything you do.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a growing, customer‑focused business within AGL.

• Make a real impact within the Real Estate and home‑moving ecosystem.

• Enjoy an active, on‑the‑road role where success is in your hands.

• Work with a collaborative and supportive national Sales team.
