A great place to work

When you join Capricorn, you become a part of something bigger than a typical company, because as a co-operative we exist to improve the lives of our Members by supporting them in building stronger businesses – not the other way around.

We are purpose-led and are committed to empowering our community to thrive. Our community includes our employees, and we know what is important to them, because we asked! And here's our commitments to you:

• Provide a diverse and inclusive workplace – because we know how important it is for everyone to be treated fairly and with respect.

• Give you flexibility – it's important to recognise we are all unique and need to create work life balance.

• Offer paid parental leave – that supports both parent's leave and their transition back to work.

• Create a fun environment – our social calendar is full up with a range of different virtual and face-to-face events to keep us connected.

• Work perks – that our employees actually use, such as a fantastic reward and recognition program, wellness program, additional leave purchase and so much more!

The role and what we are looking for

Capricorn's Area Managers are here to develop business with our existing Members and Preferred Suppliers, as well as establishing new business within a designated sales territory with the goal of achieving membership and sales growth for the organisation. Based from your own home office, travelling to meet Members and Suppliers is key to this role and as such regular travel to rural areas away from home may be necessary based on the sales territory.

The successful applicant will have:

• Proven sales and/or relationship management experience with strong business and commercial acumen;

• Highly driven and self-motivated

• Ability to work autonomously

• Relationship building and/or territory management.

• A passion for the Automotive Industry and experience in this field
