Expression of Interest – Business Development Representative, Australia Market

As we continue our growth across APAC, we're hiring a Business Development Representative to drive new business generation across Australia. This role is based in Sydney and sits within our Business/Sales Development organization, working closely with Account Executives to build pipeline across the Australia market.

This is an Expression of Interest, not a live job posting yet. We're moving quickly to identify the right person, so if this sounds like you, we'd rather hear from you now than after the role goes public.

Who we're looking for

We need someone who thrives on the energy of outbound prospecting and isn't afraid of the phone. You'll be the first point of contact for prospective Australian customers, sparking interest in Gong through cold calls, emails, and social outreach, and turning cold conversations into qualified discovery calls for our Account Executives.

You should be someone who gets a charge out of high-volume, high-activity work, who takes ownership of their own book of accounts, and who's looking to build a foundation for a long-term career in sales. Given our growth plans, we're looking for someone who can ramp quickly and bring energy and resilience from day one.

What you'll do

Generate interest and awareness for Gong through cold calling, email, and social outreach to prospective Australian customers
Schedule qualified initial discovery calls for Account Executives
Consistently meet or exceed daily activity targets (80–100 activities)
Own and strategically manage a dedicated book of Australian accounts
Become a power user of the Gong platform
Share feedback and insights with BDR Managers and Sales Enablement to help improve team effectiveness
Collaborate with peers across the region to exchange and apply best practices

What we look for

Prior prospecting or sales experience is a plus, but not essential — we care more about drive than resume
A genuine passion for sales, or an interest in building a long-term sales career
Curious about AI — you're experimenting, testing tools, and finding an edge using AI
Strong verbal and written communication skills
High resilience — comfortable with rejection and quick to bounce back
A growth mindset and genuine coachability — open to feedback and eager to improve
Comfort with high-activity, high-volume outbound work
Based in Sydney

What happens next

You submit your expression of interest (about 5 minutes)
Our Talent team reviews submissions on a rolling basis
Strong-fit candidates are contacted directly for an initial conversation, ahead of any public posting
If there's mutual fit, we move into a full interview process
