Team Lead – Inside Sales/Account Manager | Building Products & Materials
Be part of what's next at Hardware & General.
Hardware & General is building on more than 60 years of success with fresh thinking, ambitious growth plans and a clear vision for the future.
We're growing, evolving and investing in our people. Now, we're looking for a driven, commercially minded individual to join us in a newly created leadership role.
You might already lead a team, or you could be ready to take that next step. If you're confident, motivated by results and excited by the opportunity to learn, grow and make your mark, we'd love to hear from you.
Working with builders, tradies, developers and our Field Sales team, you'll play an important role in growing customer relationships, improving efficiency and identifying new business opportunities.
You'll have the opportunity to:
About you
Your background could be in sales, account management, estimating, construction, property development, engineering, contract administration or business.
You'll bring commercial thinking, strong planning and organisational skills, and the ability to build relationships across teams. You're comfortable balancing customer needs, sales opportunities and day-to-day operational demands.
You don't need to have held this exact title before or tick every box. We're looking for someone who is naturally confident, proactive, analytical and great with people — someone who can lead a team, improve how things are done and take ownership of results.
Experience in quoting, inbound sales enquiries or building supplies would be valuable, along with the ability to learn and adapt as the business grows.
You communicate well, take initiative, enjoy solving problems and are motivated by achieving results. You may have skills and qualities that don't necessarily show up on a resume — and that's exactly what we'd like to discover.
Why Hardware & General?

Think you might not have the right experience? Apply anyway.
We believe skills can be taught, experience can be gained and great people can grow into great leaders. What matters is your attitude, confidence, initiative, commercial thinking and willingness to learn.
Our recruitment process is your opportunity to sell yourself and show us what makes you different. Don't rule yourself out if you're unsure about your experience. You never know — this could be the opportunity you've been looking for!

Every builder has experienced costly onsite delays. During Hardware & General's 60 years of operation, we've helped many builders get their projects back on track, minimise excessive time delays and costs, manage cash flow and product supply, and coordinate timely deliveries to sites with specific requirements.
Our customers understand the value of experience, knowledge and quality products, and we would like to help you maximise the potential of your next project.

Sixty years of service to the building industry is a long time to be in business, especially for a family company. We are very thankful for the trust shown in us by you - our customers - and your loyal support and patronage during these years.
