Business Development Executive

About the role

We are looking for a motivated, proactive and commercially minded Business Development Executive to help us grow our business and expand our products across the Malaysian market. This is more than a traditional sales role. We are looking for someone who can take ownership of developing the Malaysia market — identifying new opportunities, finding customers and business partners, promoting our products, building relationships and turning opportunities into sales. You will have the freedom to develop your own approach and build your own customer network. We are looking for someone who enjoys being proactive, meeting people and creating opportunities rather than simply waiting for leads to be provided. You can be based anywhere in Malaysia. There is no requirement to attend our Puncak Alam warehouse every day. However, you will be expected to travel to our warehouse, customer locations, trade events or other locations from time to time when required.
