Iconic Aussie Eyewear brand is on the move again with continued expansion and opportunity. Ugly Fish since 2003 is experiencing positive growth in its traditional and new markets. Known in its space as a premium quality mid-market eyewear solution supporting a wide range of industry & business including: Optical, Fishing, Outdoor, Motorcycle, Safety, Kids & Surf.

We are looking for a Northern NSW Business Development Manager to support a territory from Sydney to the QLD border. Traditionally NSW has been a single BDM territory but due to continued opportunity and growth we have split the territory. The new role will have you setting up from your home office ideally in Sydney while supporting and managing your territory with one week based in greater Sydney and the next travelling through New South Wales central west & northern regions. This structure is a strategic way to support the business & offer stability in work/life/balance by ensuring you're travelling an average of 3-4 nights per fortnight with a proven structure in place to help support existing business and develop new business opportunities.
The ideal candidate comes with a solid base of optical & business development acumen as well as understanding how a key wholesaler partner can support and develop key customers and accounts. You will need to be agile as things move quickly and our products are both technical and diverse. A background in eyewear or optical is ideal in allowing you to understand your role & achieve success quickly and would suit someone coming from a similar BDM background or from a technical or retail optical background looking for a change in a challenging Monday to Friday opportunity supporting retail rather than working in retail.

On offer to the right candidate is the opportunity to be part of the Ugly Family, we work hard, stick together and have fun. Based from your home office with the full support of the Ugly Fish head office crew based in Wollongong NSW. Monday to Friday with the occasional weekend for trade shows & events, competitive remuneration package, mobile phone, laptop and a fully maintained company vehicle plus access to world leading sales tools like Salesforce CRM.

If this sounds like the right opportunity & you have the aligned experience, understand optical, can accommodate the travel requirements, can sell, can support & are passionate about your career we'd love to hear from you and get the conversation started.
