An exciting opportunity has opened for an ambitious Business Development Representative to join a rapidly growing global FinTech business that is transforming the way consumer and eCommerce brands access growth capital.

Backed by leading global financial institutions, my client has deployed billions in funding to thousands of businesses worldwide and combines innovative technology with a highly customer-centric approach to financing.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career in technology sales. You’ll join a high-performing revenue team, receive structured sales development and gain direct exposure to founders and senior decision-makers across fast-growing businesses.

The Opportunity

As a Business Development Representative, you’ll be responsible for generating new business opportunities and building relationships with prospective customers.

Working closely with an Account Executive, you’ll identify high-potential businesses, engage founders and decision-makers, understand their growth ambitions and qualify opportunities for the wider sales team.

You’ll be encouraged to think creatively about how you prospect and engage customers rather than relying on a single outbound channel.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively identify and engage prospective customers across the eCommerce and consumer brand landscape.
• Conduct high-volume outbound prospecting through cold calling, personalised email, LinkedIn and social selling.
• Speak directly with founders and senior decision-makers to understand their business, growth plans and potential funding requirements.

• Develop your commercial and sales capability through structured training, coaching and exposure to experienced sales professionals.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone ambitious, commercially minded and genuinely excited about developing a career in sales.

You could already have experience in business development, recruitment, sales or another target-driven environment, or you may be looking to transition into technology sales with highly transferable commercial experience.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Experience working successfully within a target-driven or performance-focused environment.
• Strong communication skills and confidence speaking with new people.
• A proactive approach to outbound prospecting and relationship building.
• The resilience and drive required to succeed in a high-performance sales environment.
• A strong sense of ownership and willingness to continuously improve.
• The ability to thrive within a fast-moving and evolving business.
• A naturally curious and commercially minded approach.
• Ambition to build a successful long-term career within sales.
• Professional fluency in English.

Previous startup, SaaS, FinTech or technology experience would be beneficial but is not essential.

Career Progression

This opportunity is particularly suited to someone who wants more than simply their next SDR/BDR position.

You’ll receive structured revenue and sales development designed to build the skills required to progress within the commercial organisation. High performers can build towards opportunities in areas such as Account Executive or Customer Success, with the business focused on developing its future commercial talent internally.

Why Join?

You’ll be joining an international technology company during an exciting stage of its growth, working alongside ambitious colleagues across multiple global markets.

The business offers a collaborative, high-performance culture where employees are encouraged to take ownership, think creatively and have a genuine impact on company growth.

The Sydney team operates within a flexible hybrid environment, combining in-person collaboration with flexibility. The broader organisation also provides employees with exposure to colleagues and leadership across its international offices.

If you’re ambitious, competitive, commercially minded and looking for an opportunity to accelerate your career within a high-growth FinTech environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now for immediate consideration. Please note only successful applicants will be shortlisted and contacted.

Are you passionate about marine safety and keen to pursue an investigative career?

The role

We’re seeking an experienced marine specialist to join the team as a Marine Accident Investigator.

You’ll be deployed to marine accident sites, along with an Investigator in Charge, to manage and undertake a site examination and gather evidence. Back in the office you’ll carry out very detailed and thorough analysis and research as you draft your in-depth investigation report, findings and recommendations, for consideration by the Commission.

The role is Wellington based in TAIC’s central city office.

About the Organisation

The Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) is an independent Crown entity.

TAIC’s principal purpose is to determine the circumstances and causes of certain aviation, maritime and rail accidents and incidents, with a view to avoiding similar occurrences in the future, rather than to ascribe blame to any person.

About You

This role will require you to apply your expertise both at the accident site and at your desk, from site management and evidence gathering to researching, analysing and writing your highly detailed, in-depth and robust investigation report and safety recommendations.

You’ll have extensive maritime experience, hold academic qualifications in naval architecture, marine engineering or another related field, and possess high level:

• Plain English report writing abilities
• Attention to detail
• Analytical and problem solving capabilities
• Verbal communication skills
• Stakeholder engagement skills
• Project and time management abilities.

Given you’ll attend accident sites, you will also need to be:

• Medically and physically fit – able to pass and maintain a medical certification
• Emotionally and psychologically mature to handle stressful and emotionally difficult situations
• Able to travel domestically at short notice.

Your work will involve a range of vessel types and accidents, and you’ll engage with a wide variety of stakeholders and subject matter experts. The work is incredibly interesting and engaging and you will be well supported and receive world class training and professional development.

Over time you’ll be able to apply your developed investigative skills to support other transport modal investigations too, further enhancing your experience and professional development. Your ongoing work will contribute to marine, rail and aviation safety, rather than ascribing blame.

How to apply

If this excellent accident investigation role is the career opportunity that can showcase your combined marine experience, analytical thinking and writing skills, then apply now!

Please include a cover letter written by you, outlining your suitability and interest in this role.

You’ll be joining a small dedicated team committed to transport safety and no repeat accidents. For any queries or to obtain a copy of the job description, please contact John Keith john.keith@talentinternational.com or Jacaleen Williams Jacaleen.williams@talentinternational.com at Talent International.
