At Tassal, we're passionate about producing premium seafood and getting it into the hands of customers who love great food as much as we do.
We're looking for a State Account Manager to lead our Queensland Seafood Wholesale and Foodservice portfolio. This is a highly autonomous role where you'll have the opportunity to grow existing accounts, win new business, lead a small team, and make a genuine impact on the success of our Out of Home channel.
The role can be based in Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast or the Gold Coast, with the flexibility to work from home when you're not out visiting customers across these three areas.
If you're an experienced Account Manager with strong FMCG experience, a commercial mindset, and the resilience to thrive in a fast-paced environment, we'd love to hear from you.

- Manage trade spend and customer claims.
- Lead and support an Area Sales Manager who reports directly to you.
- Travel throughout Queensland to meet customers, including occasional trips to North Queensland and interstate meetings with the wider Sales team.

- Experience working with Foodservice, Wholesale, HORECA or fresh food customers.
- Seafood industry experience will be highly regarded.

- A continuous improvement mindset and the confidence to challenge the status quo when needed.
At Tassal, you'll be joining a business that's continuing to grow, innovate and invest in its people. You'll be supported by an experienced team while enjoying the autonomy to make the role your own.
In return, we'll offer:
- Competitive salary package, bonus and company vehicle.
- Birthday leave.
