Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager — Property Management (Brisbane) | S&W Plus

Build a premium rent roll the right way. Win individual landlords, buying groups, and full developments.

S&W Plus is building a high-standard property management business in Brisbane — and we’re hiring a Business Development Manager to help continue to grow the portfolio.

This is a BDM-only position.
You will not be doing property management tasks (routines, maintenance, arrears, portfolio admin).

If you love relationship-led growth, enjoy winning new business, and you care about the quality of service clients receive (because referrals matter), you’ll fit well here.

What you’ll own (your outcomes)

Your core outcomes are to:

• Sign new managements from individual landlords (investors who value quality)

• Secure partnerships with buying groups, agents, and investor networks

• Win development management opportunities (bulk managements / project handovers)

• Build a pipeline and referral engine that compounds month after month

What you’ll be doing

New Business & Conversion

• Prospect and convert new managements across Brisbane

• Run landlord appointments and present the S&W Plus offer with confidence

• Build proposals, follow up professionally, and close

• Track pipeline activity and conversion metrics

Partnerships & Growth Channels

• Build relationships with buyer’s agents, selling agents, developers, and buying groups

• Attend handovers and coordinate smooth onboarding with the service team

• Represent S&W Plus at partner meetings, investor events, and relevant industry events

Onboarding Support (handover, not ops)

• Ensure new landlords feel looked after from day one

• Work closely with the PM team so what’s sold is what’s delivered

• Gather feedback and identify improvements that increase referrals and retention

What we’re looking for

You’ll do well in this role if you:

• Have proven BDM performance in property management (or closely related: investor-focused property sales / off-the-plan / developer channels)

• Can speak investor language clearly and calmly (returns, risk, service standards)

• Are proactive and consistent with outreach and follow-up

• Present well and build trust quickly

• Prefer doing things properly over doing things quickly

Not for you if…

• You want a hybrid BDM / Property Manager role

• You rely on inbound leads only

• You dislike targets, activity tracking, or outbound prospecting

• You aren’t comfortable being out meeting partners and landlords across Brisbane

What’s in it for you

• Brisbane-based role with autonomy and trust

• A business in growth mode — your wins will be visible and valued

• Clear service standards (easier to sell, stronger referrals)

• Competitive salary + performance incentives tied to managements won

• Career runway as the portfolio expands (this can evolve into a leadership pathway)
