Description

The Pool Tile Company (TPTC) is Australia’s leading specialist supplier to the swimming pool and outdoor living market. The commercial sector, spanning major aquatic centres, luxury hotels and resorts, multi-residential developments, universities and health and wellness facilities, represents unchartered territory for our business and serves as a fresh catalyst for our next phase of expansion.

 

To spearhead this growth nationally, we are looking for a commercial sales leader to establish and own a dedicated Commercial division within TPTC to grow our presence in the Australian commercial pool and aquatic market.

 

With a portfolio spanning Australia, this role can be based in either Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane; but with regular domestic travel required.

 

About the Role

In this high-impact, autonomous role, you will map out the national landscape to identify commercial projects, influence product specification to get our premium product ranges specified early in the design phase, build relationships with key decision-makers and own the pipeline from initial architectural concept right through to final handover converting projects into measurable sales revenue.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build, track, and nurture a visible national commercial project pipeline via Sales Cloud CRM from lead generation to final supply.
  • Engage early in the project lifecycle to educate and build deep relationships with architects, landscape architects, aquatic consultants, and interior designers to get our products specified.
  • Interpret architectural plans, coordinate comprehensive tender submissions, manage pricing/margins, and track the project lifecycle within Sales Cloud CRM.
  • Partner with commercial pool builders, tier-1 head contractors, and project managers to convert specifications into profitable revenue.
  • Act as the internal commercial pool specialist, coordinating complex national opportunities with state sales teams to ensure unified execution.

 

What We Are Looking For

This role suits someone who thrives when building structure from a blank canvas, who succeeds when operating autonomously and who is passionate about opening doors and driving new business.

Skills and experience needed:

  • Demonstrated track record of building complex project pipelines and managing long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles.
  • Background in commercial pool environments, tiles/ stone, landscaping, or architectural building products is preferred.
  • Comfortable reading technical drawings, understanding project specifications, and translating them into practical product solutions.
  • Strong commercial and data acumen including quotation strategy and margin management skills, coupled with strict CRM and pipeline reporting discipline.
  • Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne based with the willingness to travel interstate regularly to visit sites and meet key clients face-to-face.

 

Why Join Us?

  • True Autonomy: Shape, build, and scale a high-growth national channel from the ground up.
  • Uncapped Impact: Position yourself earlier in the project lifecycle, influencing architects, consultants, and developers before tenders are even released.
  • Premium Product Portfolio: Represent an elite, comprehensive range of pool tiles, mosaics, natural stone, porcelain, and walling.
  • Robust Operational Backing: You focus on winning the project; our established state sales, customer service, marketing, and SAP-powered logistics teams will help you deliver it seamlessly.
