The Business
Our Channel and Partner business is the engine room of our commercial success, delivering energy distribution and digital solutions through a network of contractors, consultants, design firms, distribution partners, and EcoXpert partners.

The Channel & Partner business delivers:

• Low-voltage distribution products including circuit breakers, switchgear, and smart panels

The Role
We're looking for a national leader to join our Channel and Partner Business. This position owns the Design Firm go-to-market channel.

The National Design Firm Manager will lead a team of channel sales professionals across Australia and embed yourself into the Channel and Partner business, and become a key member of this Senior Leadership Team.

Your mission: execute and deliver on the channel sales strategy, coach your team on sales excellence, and elevate our key account approach at an enterprise level.

This role is about momentum and delivery. The strategy is in place, the foundations are strong, and now it's time to bring it to life.

Our national channel strategy is built on strong relationships, technical prescription, and partner enablement. You'll work with design firms and consultants across the country, helping them transition to smarter, more sustainable energy solutions - turning ambition into action.
