Business Development Manager - Education
Scanning Pens, Australia

They say that having the ability to sell is a gift, to some, the ability to read is a gift, so would you like to use your talent in sales to give the gift of reading to others?

As our Business Development Manager, you will provide a strategic lead in the Education sector that will create pathways to the market and drive forward the business’ interests and presence in Australia. In return we can offer you a competitive salary of $70,000-$80,000 USD (depending on experience) and the opportunity to work with an agile global company, promoting portable assistive technology to help those with reading challenges, such as dyslexia.

You will need to be able to travel to attend conferences and events across your region and because we are global, some of our meetings will be outside of Australian office hours. All travel expenses are met by the company.

So if you are a talented sales person who is looking to work for a company who make a difference in people's lives and you are resident in Australia, then we would like to hear from you.

Scanning Pens is one of the largest suppliers of portable text to speech in the world and represents many of the leading manufacturers of this type of technology. We are growing fast and to support that growth, we are looking for a Business Development Assistant, focussing on the education sector, to work with us in continuing to find new ways to help those with neurodiversity to work and learn with confidence.

Here at Scanning Pens, we are about getting the right candidate for the right role. We recognise that as an organisation we are underrepresented in certain areas, so we welcome applications from candidates who have neurodiverse challenges, identify as LGBT or are from an Ethnic Minority background. If you need support to assist you to make an application or attend an interview, then please email our recruiter at and we will be happy to help.
