Business Development Manager

Full job description
About our Team
At LexisNexis, we’re more than a legal and professional services company — we’re a team of thinkers, doers, and problem solvers. With 11,800 colleagues in over 150 countries, we’re using cutting-edge technology, including AI, to power real change in the legal and compliance industries.

Here in the Regulatory Compliance team, we’ve built a culture that works hard, celebrates wins, and genuinely enjoys the ride. Think high-energy team collaboration, a healthy dose of fun, and big rewards for those who bring the hustle.
About the Role
This is not your average BDM gig. We’re looking for a driven self-starter with a hunter mindset who lives for the thrill of new business. You’ll lead the charge in expanding our reach in the compliance sector, connecting with decision-makers, and delivering smart, tailored solutions that make a difference.

If you're a confident communicator who thrives on activity and can turn conversations into opportunities — we want to meet you.
Reporting to the BDM Team Lead, this is a permanent full-time role to be based either Melbourne, Brisbane or Sydney with the possibility of combined home/office-based arrangements to have flexible work-life balance.

Requirements
3+ years of B2B sales experience with a background in Business, Finance, tech sales or a related field
Proven experience smashing BDM targets, ideally in the compliance or legal tech space
A strong track record managing full sales cycles end to end
Top-tier presentation and communication skills
Confidence engaging with C-level stakeholders in a consultative manner
Solid CRM skills (Salesforce knowledge = bonus points)
