Build Your Own Sales Organisation. Shape Strategy. Create Long-Term Wealth & Career Legacy.

This is not a maintenance role. It is a career-defining leadership opportunity for a Sales Manager seeking real authority, impact, and ownership — mentally and financially.

You will be entrusted to rebuild, restructure, and lead the entire sales function, transforming a traditional, relationship-driven business into a scalable, growth-focused organisation.

As Sales Manager, you will take full end-to-end ownership of the sales department. Your mandate is to:

• Build a structured, accountable sales organisation
• Expand into new markets and industries
• Increase order value and commercial discipline
• Lead both existing senior sales staff and new-generation hires
• This is a leadership and system-building role, not an individual contributor position — ideal for someone driven by long-term growth, influence, and performance-based rewards.

• Ensure disciplined execution once strategy is aligned

Management Reporting

• Provide clear updates on performance, risks, and opportunities
• Surface market feedback and internal bottlenecks early
• Work closely with Executive Director and new HR leadership during restructuring phase

• Business Administration, Sales & Marketing, International Business, Management, Engineering / Industrial / Manufacturing-related fields

Experience

• 5–10 years of B2B sales experience
• Proven experience managing and leading sales teams
• Track record in market expansion or new client development
• Comfortable managing both senior, long-tenured staff and junior hires
• Industry background not restricted (related industries preferred)

Core Competencies

• Strong commercial and business acumen
• Independent, strategic thinker who challenges constructively
• High integrity, confidential, and execution-driven
• Comfortable operating in a transitioning, non-structured environment

💰 Other Benefits

• Performance-based incentives & commission
• Travel & miscellaneous allowances (local & overseas)

🔍 Also suitable for candidates from roles such as:
