Senior Business Development Manager

Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Employment Type: Full-time
About the Opportunity
On behalf of our client, we are hiring a Senior Business Development Manager to lead their regional commercial growth and market expansion across Southeast Asia. Our client is an agile growth partner and consulting firm dedicated to helping global businesses scale and expand across regional markets.
Joining the team as a Senior Business Development Manager, you will operate as a market builder and "hunter," taking full ownership of establishing new territories, building reseller/channel networks, and driving high-value B2B opportunities from the ground up. In this role, you will engage directly with C-suite executives, business owners, and regional partners, directly shaping market penetration strategies while accelerating your career toward regional commercial leadership.
Key Responsibilities
Territory & Market Expansion Strategy: Formulate and execute comprehensive territory entry plans, map high-yield B2B verticals, and determine independent Go-To-Market (GTM) strategies to establish brand footprint and revenue lines from scratch.
Outbound B2B Hunting & Enterprise Sales: Lead independent outbound client acquisition across high-value B2B sales cycles; drive the complete pipeline from cold outreach and regional face-to-face meetings to high-stakes contract closing.
Channel & Reseller Development: Identify, recruit, onboard, train, and manage strategic channel partners, value-added resellers, and system integrators across Southeast Asia to scale indirect distribution channels.
C-Level Engagement & Account Development: Conduct face-to-face and remote discovery calls, deliver strategic presentations, and negotiate complex commercial terms directly with CEOs, Founders, and senior enterprise executives.
