If you're the person who knows everyone in town, thrives on building relationships, loves opening doors and turning conversations into opportunities, keep reading.
Description
We're looking for a Business Development Manager to help grow Regional Australia Bank across communities throughout the North West region.
However, you don't necessarily need "BDM" on your resume.
Maybe you've worked in banking. Maybe you've built strong networks in agribusiness, real estate, retail, hospitality, professional services, local government or another customer-focused industry. If you're commercially minded, relationship-driven and enjoy getting out and meeting people, we'd love to hear from you.
The opportunity
This isn't a desk job.
One day you'll be meeting local business owners, the next you'll be attending a community event, networking breakfast or field day. You'll be building relationships, identifying opportunities and connecting people with the right banking solutions.
You'll be the face of Regional Australia Bank in the community and play a key role in helping us grow while staying true to our customer-owned values.
What you'll be doing
✅ Building meaningful relationships across your region
✅ Generating new business opportunities and growing referral networks
✅ Representing the Bank at community and industry events
✅ Working closely with lending and branch teams to convert opportunities into outcomes
✅ Developing partnerships that create long-term value for customers and communities
✅ Managing your pipeline and keeping opportunities moving
About you
We're more interested in your ability to build relationships than your job title.
You'll likely bring:
- Experience in sales, business development, banking, customer relationship management, account management or community engagement
- A proven ability to create opportunities and influence outcomes
- Outstanding communication and networking skills
- Confidence working independently and managing your own schedule
- Curiosity, initiative and a genuine interest in people
- A passion for supporting regional communities
You'll thrive in this role if you:
- Never walk into a room without introducing yourself to someone
- Know how to turn a conversation into a relationship
- Can spot an opportunity others might miss
- Enjoy getting out from behind a desk
- Like the idea of building something, not just maintaining it
Why Regional Australia Bank?
At Regional Australia Bank, we're proudly customer-owned, which means we're focused on creating value for our customers and communities, not external shareholders.
In return, you'll enjoy:
- Genuine autonomy and flexibility
- A highly visible role where you can make an impact
- Strong support from experienced banking and lending teams
- Career development opportunities
- The chance to make a real difference in regional communities
The region
This role supports communities across: Tamworth, Quirindi, Werris Creek, Manilla, Barraba, Coonabarabran, Walcha, Mungindi, Moree, Warialda, Bingara, Inverell, Narrabri and Gunnedah.
A current driver's licence and willingness to travel are essential.
Sound like you?
Even if your experience doesn't perfectly match every point above, we'd still love to hear from you. If you've built strong relationships, delivered results and have the drive to grow business opportunities, you might be exactly who we're looking for.
