Understanding the Sydney Market

Only 6.2% of these 30 listings stated a salary, one of the lowest disclosure rates in this report, so the $125,000 median is almost entirely estimated. What supports it is that it matches business development managers in the same city exactly, and the figure did not move across the month. Listings eased from 35 to 30. No other city carries enough listings under this title to compare.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Key Account Manager in Sydney?
The estimated floor is $100,000, which is exactly what general account managers earn as a median in Sydney, so the key account title starts where the standard one peaks. Portfolio value rather than years is what distinguishes the role. Enterprise and national account experience are what listings name.
Is $125,000 a good salary in Sydney?
Yes, on the available evidence. At $125,000 a key account manager earns 31.6% above Sydney's all-roles median of $95,000, with take-home near $1,754 a week against high living costs. It pays $25,000 more than general account management. The caveat is substantial, since fewer than one listing in fifteen disclosed pay.
How much does a Senior Key Account Manager make in Sydney?
The estimated ceiling is $160,000, matching what BDMs top out at, reached through larger portfolios or national responsibility. Revenue under management is the lever. Given the very low disclosure rate, treat every figure on this page as directional.
