Freedom Internet is looking for a driven Business Development Manager to help us grow our reach across hotels, resorts, apartment buildings, greenfield developments, build-to-rent projects and multi-dwelling residential properties.

This is a genuine new-business role for someone who enjoys getting out in market, finding opportunities, starting conversations, meeting decision makers and turning those conversations into real commercial outcomes.

Freedom Internet delivers fast, reliable internet into apartment buildings, hotels, resorts and multi-dwelling properties across Australia. We use fibre, radio and in-building network infrastructure to deliver internet that is ready for residents and guests without the usual waiting periods, connection issues or reliance on ageing infrastructure.

We already service hundreds of buildings and have a strong reputation in the apartment, hotel and apartment building market. We now want the right person to help us take that further.

You do not need to be a telecommunications expert from day one. What matters most is that you are confident, proactive, organised, commercially minded and hungry to grow.

We are looking for someone with the right attitude, energy and discipline to build pipeline, chase opportunities and help Freedom Internet secure more building partnerships across Australia.

The role

Reporting to the General Manager, you will be responsible for creating and converting new and existing opportunities across hotels, serviced apartments, resorts, greenfield developments, build-to-rent projects, management rights operators, strata/body corporate channels and multi-dwelling residential buildings.

This is not a passive account management role. We are looking for someone who enjoys opening doors, building relationships and helping a business grow.

What you’ll be doing

In this role, you will:

• Build and manage a target list of hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, developers, build-to-rent operators, management rights businesses, strata groups, body corporates and high-rise residential buildings.
• Identify and contact the right decision makers across property, accommodation and development groups.
• Create new opportunities through cold calls/emails, warm referrals, LinkedIn, site visits, networking, industry contacts and in-person canvassing.
• Book and attend meetings with hotel operators, developers, property managers, building managers, body corporate representatives and other key stakeholders.
• Qualify new opportunities based on building size, location, commercial potential, existing internet setup and the opportunity for Freedom to provide a better solution.
• Work with Freedom’s internal technical and delivery teams to understand what is possible and put forward practical solutions.
• Prepare and present proposals that clearly explain why partnering with Freedom is a better outcome for the building, operator, residents and guests.
• Follow up consistently and move opportunities through the sales pipeline.
• Manage opportunities from first contact through to proposal, negotiation and signed agreement.
• Keep accurate CRM records, activity notes, next steps, pipeline value and sales forecasts.
• Represent Freedom Internet professionally in market at meetings, site visits, events and industry functions.
• Handover signed opportunities cleanly to our Account Management and Delivery teams.

Who we’re looking for

We are looking for a genuine sales professional, someone who likes being out in market, meeting people, creating opportunities and building momentum.

You may have experience in telecommunications, hotels, property, real estate, building services, utilities, embedded networks, IT, strata, management rights, facilities management or another B2B sales environment.

More importantly, you will be someone who:

• Has proven BDM, sales or new business experience.
• Is confident picking up the phone and starting conversations.
• Is comfortable with cold outreach, warm follow-ups and in-person canvassing.
• Has the energy to build pipeline rather than waiting for leads.
• Can find the right decision maker and keep following up.
• Presents well in meetings with hotel managers, developers, property managers, body corporate committees and building stakeholders.
• Can build trust and explain solutions clearly.
• Can sell value, not just price.
• Is organised enough to manage CRM notes, next steps, proposals and sales activity.
• Has a strong work ethic and wants to grow with the business.
• Has a current driver’s licence.
• Is willing to travel for meetings, events and target market development when required.

Experience that would be highly regarded

Experience or relationships in any of the below areas would be highly regarded:

• Hotels, resorts or serviced apartments.
• Property developers or greenfield residential projects.
• Build-to-rent, student accommodation, retirement living or large residential communities.
• Strata, body corporate or building management.
• Management rights or accommodation management.
• Telecommunications, internet, IT, utilities, embedded networks or building technology.
• B2B sales with longer sales cycles and multiple decision makers.
