Join a team that's All Kinds of Useful

At Origin, being useful is more than a tagline - it’s how we approach work every day. As a collective, we’re a team that thrives on finding better ways, working together, and owning our impact. From powering homes to delivering award-winning internet and helping to lead Australia’s energy transition. If you’re driven by purpose and excited to be part of something bigger, we’d love to have you on the journey.

About the Role

We’re passionate about the energy transition, dedicated to customer satisfaction, and committed to delivering innovative energy solutions that evolve with our clients' needs.

We are seeking a driven and commercially focused Business Development Manager to lead new business growth across the Gold Coast and surrounding region. This is a pure hunter role, focused on identifying, pursuing, and securing new customers across SME, commercial and industrial segments.

You’ll bring a proactive and strategic approach to building a strong pipeline, engaging decision-makers, and converting opportunities into long-term value for both the customer and Origin.

What will you bring?

You’re a proactive and commercially minded sales professional who enjoys building relationships, creating opportunities and winning new business.
