Understanding the Brisbane Market

Sales managers in Brisbane earn a median of $112,500, 12.5% above the city's all-roles median, with the median rising $12,500 from March on 26 listings, 3 more than the prior month. Brisbane pays $12,500 below Melbourne and Sydney at the same median, which is consistent across most management roles but notable given Brisbane's generally competitive project and construction sector. The 67.8% spread ($83,750 to $160,000) captures mid-level sales team leaders at the floor and senior national sales or divisional sales directors at the ceiling. BDMs in the same city earn $125,000, a $12,500 premium over the sales manager median reflects the new-business premium embedded in BDM pay.
