Job description

Responsibilities

The Lark Global team drives Lark's commercial growth across international markets. We bring Lark's enterprise AI Workspace to organizations worldwide, helping businesses accelerate digital transformation, improve productivity, and build more connected workplaces. International growth is fundamentally different from scaling in a single market.

Every region has different customer expectations, competitive landscapes, levels of AI adoption, and ways of working. Success means balancing a consistent global product with deeply localized go-to-market strategies, earning credibility market by market while building one global brand. As AI transforms how organizations work, you will help bring this new way of working to businesses around the world.

You will shape go-to-market strategies, work cross-functionally to solve complex market challenges, and see your ideas translate into real customer adoption and business growth. Our focus is on helping businesses embrace digital transformation through our collaboration solutions, and we're dedicated to identifying and seizing market opportunities while acquiring new customers to foster growth. Join us if you're ready to be a part of this exciting journey and to make a tangible impact on business growth!

• You will drive new business development and market expansion across Singapore, with a strong focus on large enterprise customers.

• You will own and overachieve the assigned quota.
• Your responsibility includes creating reliable forecasts, managing complex pipelines, and achieving the target of key customer references and adoption of the Lark platform within enterprise customers.
• You will negotiate favorable pricing and business terms with enterprise companies by selling value and ROI.
• You will build and maintain executive-level relationships with C-level decision-makers within target organizations.
• You'll attentively listen to the needs of the market and share insights with product and marketing teams.
• You are expected to create and own your territory plan towards achieving the goals set by the business.
• Your intuitive sense of the steps required to close business and gain customer validation will identify a robust set of business drivers behind all opportunities.
• Maintaining, building, and managing relationships internally and externally with customers and partners for your territory — including existing relationships and aspirational contacts — is vital.
• You'll proactively solve problems even if they're outside your area and be ready to take on additional initiatives and responsibilities as they emerge.
• Thoroughly understanding your customer's business and ensuring their continued usage and expansion is a vital part of your role.
