The company behind Coolaroo combines Australian heritage with global product development and manufacturing expertise. Its shade and outdoor living products help people create more comfortable, usable outdoor spaces.

Your opportunity

Reporting to the VP Sales & Trade Marketing Americas, you'll lead a Key Account Manager, Sales Analyst and part-time Merchandiser. You'll have scope to shape account strategy, develop your team and influence how products reach customers in stores and online.

Your priorities will include:

You understand the commercial detail behind an account plan and can show how you've influenced buyers, grown a category or improved team performance. Experience in home improvement, outdoor living, garden, building products or adjacent consumer categories could translate well.
