BD Manager (Singapore)

Based in Singapore City, Singapore

Background

Are you interested in innovation and sustainability?  

Do you want to help businesses transform and expand internationally? 

Do you have a track record of sourcing, driving and closing new business? 

If that’s yes to all three, you may be just who we are looking for to join our team! 

 

BD Manager (Singapore)

You’ll be identifying, engaging and signing up new clients to take on a journey of further expansion in Asian markets. You’ll work alongside a diverse group of 130+ business development consultants with a deep specialism in Asia. Over 34 years in the business, we’ve helped more than 1,500 western tech start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs establish and grow in Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan and Southeast Asia – generating upwards of $800 million in revenues for our clients.

We’re focused on the technologies and ideas that are helping to solve the world’s social and environmental challenges. And we’re growing our Business Development team in Singapore. So, if you think you’re up for the challenge, read on – and apply.

The job

As BD Manager, you’ll be interacting with top tech innovators daily – through emails, calls, F2F meetings, events and trade show visits. You’ll be identifying your targets and building relationships, developing proposals and closing deals as well as engaging clients post-sale.

You’ll be engaging with both the Singapore branches of overseas firms and cutting edge local tech firms. You’ll aim to understand their growth plans for overseas markets and discuss how our in-market business development support services can accelerate their expansion plans.

You’ll often be talking to APAC VPs, CEOs, CTOs and Founders. You don’t need a deep technical background, but you should be able quickly to grasp the commercial and technical value propositions of companies across a range of high-growth sectors including software, renewables, medtech & life sciences and electronics.

You’ll have a full suite of tools at your disposal – from Salesforce CRM and Sales Navigator to a library of company decks and templates – as well as the day-to-day support and collective experience of your colleagues.

You’ll be part of an employee-owned company that, above all, values honesty, dedication and excellence – all of which we hope also resonate with you.

What you'll be getting

  • Competitive salary, incentive scheme and vacation
  • Opportunities for growth and advancement within the company
  • A chance to work with an international team (30+ nationalisities and counting!) within a diverse and open-minded company culture
  • Opportunities to travel within Asia
  • Exposure to cutting-edge technologies addressing some of the world's most pressing issues - seeing how people, ideas and technologies from around the world come together to create self-driving cars, game-changing software, a life-saving medical device, robotics and more
  • An opportunity to make a difference by enabling green transformation through international collaboration

What you'll need

  • Excellent spoken and written English – to get complex ideas across to prospects and understand the intricacies of their business
  • Ideally, knowledge of China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan or wider SE Asia – to relate to our company’s history and mission
  • An understanding of the Singaporean business, venture capital and tech environment – to identify the right companies and people to engage
  • A genuine interest in technology, sustainability and international business – to pitch Intralink confidently and passionately
  • 2-3 years of sales/BD experience in relevant technology sectors such as software, renewables, medtech & life sciences, electronics – to bring your own contacts and flair to the job
  • Experience of building an initiative from the ground up, with demonstratable results
  • The ability to work independently while being very much a part of a team
  • A university degree in business, management, or in a technical/engineering field
  • Ideally but not essentially; additional SE Asian or NE Asian language(s) – to engage more easily with overseas prospects
  • Currently based in Singapore
