Understanding the Brisbane Market

Account Manager salaries in Brisbane are flat at $100,000, unchanged from April and consistent with Melbourne and Perth. The real action is in Sydney, where the same role pays $125,000, a $25,000 premium the data attributes to higher OTE structures in financial services and technology. Brisbane's 47 listings put it in the 69th percentile for city demand, a solid mid-tier position. The 70% salary spread from $80k to $150k reflects the presence of both FMCG account management (lower end) and resources sector account roles (upper end) in Queensland.
