Description

About us 

Veneziano Coffee Roasters is part of Nomad Coffee Group, a family of coffee brands across Australia and New Zealand. We roast specialty coffee for wholesale and street accounts across Victoria, and we take it seriously (ourselves, less so).

We’re a certified B Corp and carbon neutral business. That means we’re judged on more than the numbers: how we treat people and the planet counts too.

The role 

You’ll be the person behind Victoria’s sales results. You’ll own the state sales plan, lead a team that helps our café, wholesale and distributor customers run better coffee businesses, and still get out in the field with your own territory and key accounts. It’s a hands-on leadership role, not a corner office.

What you’ll do

  • Set the strategy and plans that deliver Victoria’s sales and revenue targets
  • Lead and coach the VIC sales team, set the targets, and build a team that’s sharp, customer-obsessed and winning
  • Bring in new accounts, and grow and keep our café, wholesale and distributor partners
  • Build distributor relationships, negotiate contracts and set clear performance goals
  • Drive ancillary product and project sales across the customer base
  • Own the revenue and expense budgets, and give the leadership team accurate forecasts and reporting
  • Turn what you’re seeing in the market into real results, working closely with marketing, operations and the wider business

What you’ll bring

  • A track record of leading sales teams that hit their numbers
  • Specialty coffee industry experience, ideally in wholesale or café sales
  • The ability to run the full sales process, from plan to close, against ambitious growth targets
  • Strong commercial instincts and business analysis skills
  • Great relationship-building, coaching and influencing skills with everyone from baristas to business owners
  • Confidence with CRM (NetSuite a bonus) and Microsoft Office
  • Real passion for specialty coffee and a solid read on the market

Why Veneziano? 

Our values are Create a Legacy, We Play to Win, Be Brave and Better Together, and we actually use them. You’ll join a team that backs its people, celebrates individuality and gives good ideas room to grow.
