Head of Commercial

Head of Commercial & Business Development Join to apply for the Head of Commercial & Business Development role at The Unforgettable Agency We’re looking for a dynamic leader to take Maskill’s national commercial function to the next level. Below is what the role entails, the team you’ll work with, and what we’re looking for. About Maskill Maskill is one of Australia’s most trusted undercarriage and heavy‑equipment partners – known for engineering excellence, deep technical capability, and old‑fashioned reliability. For twenty years the business has been driven by world‑class technical skill and strong customer relationships across QLD, NSW and WA. In the last two years we’ve transformed from a large founder‑run family business to a professionalised, CEO‑led multi‑site group with a brand‑new WA facility in 2026, an expanded QLD operation with new CNC capability, a newly acquired fabrication, welding, blast & paint business, a modern enterprise CRM (Salesforce), and a new website and e‑commerce platform. Our technical engine has always been our strength; now we’re ready to elevate the commercial engine to match. Why this role has been created The current leadership team (CEO and Founder included) recognise they’ve reached the ceiling of their expertise in this area and need a specialist to step in and take over. We are looking for a Head of Commercial & Business Development to lead Maskill’s national commercial function, strengthen commercial systems, national account structures, pricing governance and BD maturity, and ensure the company continues to grow without a “house of cards.” Who you’ll work with You’ll partner directly with our CEO, Shannon Jansen. You’ll also work closely with the WA & East Coast General Managers, the BD & Key Account team, and the leadership of our newly acquired fabrication/paint/blast business. What you’ll do Your work will sit at the intersection of high‑impact commercial strategy and hands‑on leadership inside a world‑class privately held business backing growth with real investment. You’ll have the runway, authority and support to modernise the commercial function to support the next era of Maskill’s growth. Key responsibilities include: Lead and develop a strong, diverse BD team. Build a nationally aligned commercial strategy. Introduce modern sales systems and discipline. Bring clarity and cohesion to the commercial side of the business. Who’s the right person for this role? Someone who’s commercially mature but not jaded, who can bring both wisdom and innovation. Ideally you’ll read the list below and think, “Yep, that’s me.” You’re equally comfortable talking to a CEO and a machine operator. You know how to build modern commercial systems, not just operate inside them. You bring calm, clarity and structure into environments that are scaling fast. You’re a leader, not a lone wolf – you build capability, not dependency. You enjoy modernising BD functions (CRM, forecasting, account plans, pricing discipline). You’re experienced in mining, OEM, industrial services, or similarly complex environments. You want your contribution and impact to be visible – not lost in layers of bureaucracy. You’re energised by transformation and growth, not put off by it. What’s in it for you? We’re offering a chance to lead the national commercial transformation of a trusted Australian engineering business during its biggest period of investment and growth. No marketing lingo, just a focused role. The reality We don’t gloss over things or use jazz‑hands tactics to make them sound better than they are. The commercial function is working – it’s fine. But ‘fine’ just isn’t good enough for us. There’s so much untapped potential waiting to be unlocked. You’ll need deep experience navigating mining industry sales cycles, procurement, complex accounts, and commercial judgement, and to be able to bring your people with you. Required experience & competencies Commercial leadership experience in mining (this is a must). Experience leading multi‑region or national BD teams. Strong pricing, negotiation, tendering and contract experience. Commercial transformation experience (CRM, forecasting, sales governance). Ability to lead through ambiguity with calm, clarity and confidence. High integrity and alignment with Maskill’s values. Ready to apply?
