Regional Sales Manager - Australia

Anker Innovations is hiring for a Regional Sales Manager - Australia, an onsite internship based in Melbourne. The company plays in the fields of intelligent manufacturing, the Industrial Internet, and industrial automation, offering a hands-on entry point to regional sales for someone who wants to partner with enterprise and channel networks. This role suits proactive students who want real-world exposure to how technology and selling intersect in a regional market.

The position is built around owning the full sales cycle, from lead generation and needs discovery to product demonstrations, proposals, negotiation, and contract signing, while also managing delivery and renewals. It pairs client-facing work with collaboration across marketing to shape regional growth plans, track lead conversions, and assess ROI. Cross-functional coordination with teams such as product, delivery, customer service, legal, and supply chain helps ensure customer success and repeat purchases from contract signing through implementation. The role also involves preparing project materials for local channel, e-commerce, and retail partnerships, plus gathering localized industry insights to refine scalable growth playbooks and SOPs.

Ideal candidates are Class of 2027 graduates with a bachelor’s degree or higher, and all majors are welcome. The role calls for a passion for B2B and B2C sales, strong communication, influencing, and presentation skills, and a track record, whether from student clubs, competitions, or internships, of closing deals, driving customer acquisition, or forming partnerships. A data-driven mindset helps you explain strategy and outcomes, and you should be quick to pick up new tools and processes. The internship is onsite in Melbourne and will involve travel for client visits and international trade shows. A valid work visa for the country or region where the position is located is required.

Daily rhythm in the Melbourne sales hub

In this role, you’ll cultivate relationships with enterprise and channel clients around the world, guiding the entire sales journey from lead generation to renewal, while taking ownership of delivery. You’ll partner with marketing to devise regional growth plans, monitor how leads convert, and run ROI reviews to prove what works. You’ll coordinate with internal teams, product, delivery, customer service, legal, and supply chain, to ensure customer success and repeat business from signing through deployment. You’ll also help assemble materials for local channels, e-commerce, and retail partnerships, and you’ll translate what you learn about competitors, pricing, and channels into repeatable growth playbooks and SOPs.

Day to day, the emphasis is on practical collaboration and impact: turning opportunities into contracts, aligning internal resources to meet customer needs, and building a foundation for scalable growth in Australia and beyond. The role blends relationship-building with quantitative thinking, so you’ll balance talking with clients with analysing data to steer strategy and demonstrate results. Travel to client sites and trade shows will be part of the landscape, as will staying curious about how market dynamics and compliance shape regional plans.

• Graduating in 2027 with a bachelor’s degree or higher; all majors welcome
• A genuine interest in B2B and B2C sales, with strong communication, influencing, and presentation skills; evidence of closing deals or building partnerships through student clubs, competitions, or internships is a plus

Prepare to talk through end-to-end sales moments, from identifying leads and needs to coordinating with other teams and finalizing a contract. Have a ready example of cross-functional collaboration, particularly with marketing, product, or legal, to deliver a customer outcome.

Ask a targeted question in your interview about how the Melbourne team translates market insights into growth playbooks and SOPs, or how regional plans are co-developed with marketing and channel partners.
