We are seeking a confident, motivated and relationship-focused Business Development Manager to drive growth across two established settlement businesses.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced business development professional who understands the property industry and enjoys building long-term relationships with real estate agents, mortgage brokers, developers, builders, investors and other referral partners.

This opportunity could also be ideal for an experienced conveyancer looking to step away from managing settlement files and take their career in a new direction. Your knowledge of the settlement process, understanding of the property industry and ability to build trusted relationships would be highly valued.

About the Role

Working across both businesses, you will be responsible for growing new referral channels while strengthening, retaining and developing our existing referral relationships throughout the Perth property market.

This is a commercially focused role with clear, achievable KPIs and an incentive structure designed to reward genuine business growth.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing new referral relationships and generating new settlement opportunities
• Maintaining and strengthening relationships with existing referral partners
• Identifying and reactivating dormant or underutilised referral relationships
• Increasing referral volumes from established partners
• Building relationships with real estate agents, mortgage brokers, developers, builders and other property industry professionals
• Conducting regular office visits, meetings and presentations with referral partners
• Attending networking events and relevant industry functions
• Following up leads and converting opportunities into active referral relationships
• Maintaining an accurate business development pipeline and recording referral activity
• Monitoring performance against agreed business development targets and KPIs
• Working closely with our settlements and marketing teams to support referrers and promote our services
• Identifying emerging opportunities within the Perth property market

About You

To succeed in this position, you will ideally have:

• Experience in business development, sales, relationship management or conveyancing
• Experience within settlements, conveyancing, real estate, finance, mortgage broking or another property-related industry
• A strong understanding of the Perth property market
• A demonstrated ability to build relationships and generate new business
• Excellent communication, presentation and networking skills
• Confidence approaching new businesses and developing referral partnerships
• Strong organisational and follow-up skills
• A proactive, commercially minded and results-driven approach
• The ability to work independently while contributing to a supportive team
• A current driver's licence and reliable vehicle

An established network within the Perth property industry would be highly regarded but is not essential.

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary plus an attractive performance-based bonus structure
• Genuine earning potential linked to the growth you generate
• The opportunity to work across two established settlement businesses
• Existing referral relationships and databases to develop
• Autonomy to build relationships and pursue new opportunities
