Your new company

Viscount is one of Australia's leading providers of reusable packaging and pooling solutions, helping major food, retail and manufacturing businesses improve efficiency, reduce waste and transition away from single-use packaging. Operating a national network of manufacturing facilities, wash plants and logistics hubs, Viscount delivers large-scale circular supply chain solutions to many of Australia's most recognised retailers, growers, processors and producers.

Backed by a joint venture between Pact Group and Morrison, Viscount combines the scale, infrastructure and investment of two highly respected organisations with a strong reputation for innovation, reliability and customer service. The business is continuing to invest in new products, capability and market expansion as demand for sustainable supply chain solutions accelerates across Australia.

As part of this growth strategy, Viscount is seeking a Business Development Specialist to drive market expansion and secure new partnerships across Australia.

Your new role

This is a true hunter role focused on creating opportunities, winning new customers and developing strategic growth markets. Reporting to the Market Development Manager, you'll take ownership of a national pipeline, engage senior decision-makers and lead complex sales opportunities from initial engagement through to commercial agreement.

  • Drive strategic product launches and growth initiatives.
  • Build relationships with senior stakeholders across customer organisations.
  • Partner with Operations, Supply Chain, Finance and National Accounts teams to ensure successful implementation.
  • Monitor market trends, competitor activity and emerging growth opportunities.

You will likely bring:

  • 5+ years' experience in B2B sales or business development.
  • Experience within supply chain, logistics, packaging, industrial products, FMCG, food manufacturing or related sectors.
  • A proven ability to win and grow strategic customer accounts.
  • Strong commercial, negotiation and stakeholder management skills.
  • Experience managing complex sales opportunities involving multiple decision-makers.
  • A proactive, self-driven approach and genuine hunter mentality.

  • Work with some of Australia's largest retailers, growers, food processors and manufacturers.
  • Access a national manufacturing, pooling and logistics network that supports customers across every major Australian market.
  • Sell innovative solutions that deliver genuine operational and environmental value.
