Business Development Manager (WA)

The Opportunity

Are you ready to take ownership of a rigorous business development cycle to deliver results which are measured by real community impact?

As a Not-For-Profit community organisation, we are seeking a results-driven, relationship-focused professional to actively drive our growth.

Success in this role relies on more than just great conversations: it requires managing a rigorous pipeline, hitting outreach targets, and successfully converting leads into active employer partnerships.

You will take full ownership of the business development cycle: from identifying prospects and networking, to presenting tailored workforce solutions and securing partnerships with local and national employers.

If you have a talent for BD and want your work to mean something more, this role offers a unique balance. Through succeeding in your role, you will directly help young people in Western Australia kick-start meaningful careers as an apprentice and trainee.

Key responsibilities:

Business Development & Employer Engagement

• Proactively identify, approach, and secure new employer partnerships
• Build, manage, and grow an outbound sales pipeline
• Prepare tailored proposals and promotional materials for clients
• Leverage our CRM system to manage your pipeline and ensure you consistently meet quarterly and annual growth targets
• Strengthen established long-term relationships
• Research industry trends and identify opportunities
• Respond to enquiries from employers, apprentices, trainees and stakeholders
• Work collaboratively with internal recruitment and mentoring teams

Who we are looking for

You'll thrive in this role if you:

• You have a proven track record in business development, service sales, or account management
• Are a confident, organised, self-starter who takes ownership of goals and excels in building trusted relationships
• Have a genuine interest in creating youth employment opportunities and a proven ability to grow a network of business relationships

Experience within the apprenticeship, training, recruitment, or workforce solutions industries will be highly regarded.

Who we are

For more than 40 years, WPC Group has been working with employers nationally to source and develop apprentice and trainee employment opportunities for young Australians.  We pride ourselves on creating real pathways into skilled employment, supporting apprentices and trainees start meaningful life-long careers and organisations to build skilled workforces.

Ready to make your mark?
