Strategic Federal Government Accounts | National Role | Workplace Solutions

The Company
Our client is a long-established Australian organisation with a strong national presence, delivering high-quality workplace products and solutions to major organisations across Australia.

Due to continued growth, they are seeking an experienced National Account Manager – Federal Government to take ownership of strategic government relationships and drive long-term growth across the sector.

The Opportunity
This is a senior, strategic relationship role focused on building and growing relationships across Federal Government.

Rather than transactional or project-by-project sales, you’ll take a longer-term approach – understanding clients' national property and workplace portfolios, developing multi-year account strategies and identifying opportunities well before they formally come to market.

You’ll work with senior stakeholders across Property, Workplace, Facilities, Procurement, Design, People & Culture and Executive teams, while partnering with internal state-based teams to deliver a coordinated national approach.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Own and develop strategic relationships across key Federal Government accounts
  • Develop 1–3-year account and growth strategies
  • Protect and grow existing relationships while identifying new Federal Government opportunities
  • Build relationships with senior government decision-makers and influencers
  • Understand clients' national workplace and property strategies to identify future opportunities
  • Grow share of wallet across existing accounts
  • Develop and negotiate national agreements, rates and preferred supplier arrangements
  • Identify opportunities to introduce additional workplace products and solutions
  • Work closely with state sales teams to deliver a consistent national client experience
  • Maintain visibility of pipeline, account activity and future opportunities
  • Support major tenders and national procurement opportunities.
About You
This role requires someone who already knows the Federal Government market. You will bring established relationships and understand how to navigate complex government stakeholder and procurement environments.
Ideally, you will have:
  • An existing network/black book of Federal Government contacts
  • 5+ years' relevant sales, business development or account management experience at Federal Government level
  • Experience managing large, complex and strategic accounts
  • Strong relationships across government Property, Workplace, Facilities and/or Procurement functions
  • A track record of both growing existing accounts and developing new relationships
  • Experience developing long-term account strategies rather than simply pursuing individual projects
  • Strong commercial and stakeholder management capability
  • Confidence engaging with senior decision-makers
  • A strategic, relationship-led approach to business development
Previous experience introducing new products or solutions to market will also be highly regarded.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an established Federal Government account professional to take ownership of a significant national portfolio and build long-term relationships within an established Australian organisation.
