Job Title: Business Development Manager (BDM)
Location: Sydney
Role Type: Full-Time
Secure IQ is a fast-growing headhunting, recruitment and talent solutions company helping businesses hire high-performing talent efficiently and at scale. We work with companies that are serious about building strong teams and need a structured, high-quality approach to hiring. Our focus is on delivering consistent results, improving hiring outcomes, and building long-term client relationships.
As we scale, we are expanding our current sales function with recruitment sales stars that can drive predictable revenue growth and capitalise on existing momentum.
We're looking for a Business Development Manager to take ownership of inbound and outbound sales and convert qualified opportunities into paying clients. This is a ready-to-go role working directly with the founders : there is already inbound demand, existing lead flow, and a defined sales process in place.

You’ll be responsible for handling inbound leads, running discovery and strategy calls, and closing clients, while also activating outbound opportunities from an existing lead base. What success looks like: consistently hitting revenue targets, maintaining strong close rates (20–30%), and converting qualified leads into paying clients efficiently.
This role suits someone who is commercially sharp, confident on calls, and knows how to move opportunities through the pipeline swiftly.
