CanGlory Education and NovaLearn are seeking a dynamic, highly polished, and tech-savvy Business Development & Executive Relations Manager. This role acts as a critical bridge between our executive leadership, marketing teams, and international clientele.

You will travel extensively across Southeast Asia—and occasionally North America and Europe—accompanying our Chairman and senior leadership to high-stakes meetings, international expos, and client presentations. When not traveling, you will drive deal closures, manage key documentation, and support regional marketing and educational operations.

• Exhibitions & Events: Represent CanGlory and NovaLearn at industry expos and corporate events—handling booth setup, public speaking, and audience demonstrations.

3. Cross‑Functional & Operational Support

• Marketing Collaboration: Partner with the marketing team to conceptualize and create targeted promotional content for both companies.

• NovaAcademy Support: Assist the NovaAcademy team with logistical prep work, material packing, and coordination for after‑school classes as needed.

• Ad‑Hoc Duties: Undertake other operational tasks and strategic initiatives as reasonably required by leadership.

Competencies & Qualifications

Required:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Education, Communications, or a related field.

• Communication & Presentation Skills: Exceptional public speaking and presentation abilities, with the confidence to pitch to C‑suite executives, school principals, and key decision‑makers.
