Description

📍 Melbourne | Hybrid - 3 days per fortnight in Chadstone office Your entry point into one of the most tech-forward distribution businesses in Australia. About Clever Gear Clever Gear is an acceleration partner for world-class consumer technology brands scaling across Australia and New Zealand. The team has backgrounds across Tesla, Apple, and Google Smart Home - and they operate as an extension of the brands they represent, not just a route to shelf. Their retail footprint spans JB Hi-Fi, Bunnings, Costco, Officeworks, and Harvey Norman, with a dedicated e-commerce operation that most competitors in the space avoid entirely. The company has grown from three people to a team of ten in sales and marketing since 2022, and the pipeline is still moving. The Role New accounts are closing. The Tier 2 portfolio is growing faster than the current team can hold. This role exists to own it. You will be the day-to-day contact for a portfolio of smaller retail and channel accounts - managing reorders, tracking performance, supporting promotional campaigns, and growing what is already there. These accounts are not static. They come in small and they grow. Your job is to make sure they do. This is a junior role. Clever Gear is not looking for someone who has done this before. They are looking for someone who is genuinely obsessed with consumer technology, commercial enough to care about how accounts perform, and disciplined enough to work independently most of the week. If you need to be told what to do next, this will be hard. If you already know and you are looking for somewhere to prove it, keep reading.
