The posting

About us

We’re growing, not slowing, here at Macquarie Technology Group because we’re passionate about doing things differently. We want to challenge the industry and look for better ways of doing things. As a team, Macquarie Government are hardworking, results and success focused. We also take the time to celebrate our success and make sure our people are doing work that makes a difference.

We believe that collaboration & team connection is key for success. This role will have a hybrid working model arrangement of 3 days in our CBD offices & the remaining working from home. #LI-Hybrid

The Opportunity

Want to own a portfolio of high-profile Federal Government customers and be the person who turns relationships into growth?

Join our Government Sales team as a Business Development Manager and take ownership of new business growth across a portfolio of named Federal Government agencies.

This is a true hunter role. You’ll be responsible for identifying opportunities, opening doors, building trusted relationships and ultimately winning new business — backed by a strong team of technical, commercial and product specialists who know how to deliver.

You’ll have the autonomy to run your territory and own the sales cycle end-to-end, while having the support and capability of a broader technology organisation behind you.

We’re looking for someone who knows how to win. Someone who is commercially driven, persistent and confident engaging with senior stakeholders — but understands that the best sales relationships are built by creating genuine value for customers.

Our government customers typically stay with us for the long term. That’s not by accident. It comes from understanding their challenges, bringing the right solutions to the table and becoming a trusted technology partner.

If you’re motivated by new business, big opportunities, senior relationships and the satisfaction of seeing a deal through from first conversation to close, this could be your next move.

Based in Canberra or Sydney.

  • Comfortable developing business cases and influencing senior executives, including CIOs, CFOs and CEOs.

  • Exceptional communication, negotiation and presentation skills.
  • Highly driven, resilient and persistent, with the confidence to keep pushing when the deal gets difficult.
  • Strong ownership mentality — you manage your pipeline, your relationships and your results.
  • A genuine customer-first mindset and the ability to create value beyond simply selling a product.

Desirable experience and skills

  • Bachelor’s degree in Sales, Business, Technology or a related discipline.
  • Experience with recognised sales methodologies such as Miller Heiman, SPIN or Challenger.
  • Strong research skills and an ability to stay ahead of emerging technology, networking and industry trends.
  • Proven experience taking accounts from low revenue to high growth.
  • Existing networks and relationships across Federal Government would be highly regarded.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
