A rare opportunity to influence growth strategy at Group level in one of Australia’s most successful coal producers.

Backed by a Fortune Global 500 parent company, this ASX100-listed resources group has established a market-leading platform — combining world-class coal assets, stable production, exceptional cashflow, and a clear commitment to disciplined growth.

With operational excellence delivering strong shareholder returns, the business is now positioned to look beyond its existing portfolio — pursuing strategic growth through acquisitions, divestments, partnerships, and potential diversification opportunities.

As General Manager – Business Development, you’ll play a key role in shaping that future — leading corporate development activity and working closely with the Board and Executive Leadership Team to deliver high-impact transactions.

About the Role

Reporting to the Chief Commercial Officer, you’ll lead a small, highly capable team responsible for:

• Identifying and evaluating growth opportunities aligned to strategy.
• Managing end-to-end transactions across M&A, divestments, and joint ventures.
• Leading commercial negotiations with counterparties, advisors, and stakeholders.
• Providing strategic advice, valuation analysis, and commercial insights to senior leadership.
• Building networks across mining, energy, and capital markets to unlock opportunities.
• Partnering with investment banks, advisors, and joint venture partners.
• Managing post-transaction integration.
• Contributing to portfolio management and capital allocation decisions.

What You’ll Bring

We’re seeking a commercial leader with a strong background in mining, resources, or energy — and a proven ability to lead complex transactions in dynamic environments.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Deep M&A, corporate development, or investment banking experience within mining or energy.
• A demonstrated ability to lead transactions from strategy and evaluation through to execution.
• Strong commercial judgement, financial acumen, and valuation capability.
• Credibility working with Boards, Executives, and external stakeholders.
• Coal sector experience is highly regarded but not essential.

Why Join?

This is a rare chance to join an ASX100 resources group in a senior role with real influence — supported by a strong balance sheet, a stable asset base, and a leadership team committed to growth.

• Sydney CBD location + flexible hybrid working (2 days WFH)
• Industry-leading salary circa $375k + 50% STI at target
• Significant exposure to high-value, strategically critical transactions
• Direct access to the Board and Executive Leadership Team
• Strong long-term career pathway within an ASX-listed resources leader
