Introduction:
Zeder Corporation is looking for a hands-on Internal Sales Manager to lead our Brisbane-based Trade Sales team and help shape the future of internal sales across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys leading people, improving sales performance, solving customer problems and developing a team. A key focus will be helping our Internal Sales team move from reactive order taking to proactive customer management.
This is a leadership role, but it is not a role managed from the sidelines. At times, you will be expected to assist the team directly with customer calls, emails and trade enquiries, particularly during peak periods or when additional support is needed.
Automotive technical knowledge, particularly in suspension, steering, 4x4 or aftermarket parts, will be highly regarded.
About Zeder
Zeder Corporation is proudly Australian owned and operated and home to well-known automotive brands including Fulcrum Suspensions, SuperPro, Formula 4x4, Whiteline and Nolathane.
Our mission is to enhance the motoring experience, no matter the journey.
