• Translate discussions and decisions into clear agreed actions.
• Ensure scope, pricing, deliverables and any changes are properly documented and communicated.
• Follow up on outstanding matters and ensure agreed actions are completed.
• Manage expectations and address concerns professionally.

• Close communication loops by ensuring discussions, decisions and commitments result in clear next steps and follow-through.
• Identify renewal, retention and account-development opportunities.

What We're Looking For

• 3–6 years' experience in business development, sales, account management or client servicing.

• Persistent and disciplined with follow-ups.
• Highly organised with good documentation habits.
• Able to manage multiple client conversations and outstanding matters.
• Commercially aware and comfortable discussing proposals and pricing.
• Proactive, accountable and able to work independently.
• Digital marketing/creative agency experience is an advantage.

Career Growth & Development

We welcome experienced professionals and mid-career candidates looking to transition into business development and client partnerships. You will work closely with management and receive exposure to digital marketing, creative services, and business development.

What We Offer

• Base salary of SGD 3,000 to SGD 4,000 + sales commission
• A management-level role with direct access to the business owners and involvement in key business discussions.
• A genuine opportunity to have a voice in the direction and growth of the business — your ideas and recommendations will be heard.

• Opportunity to shape how we grow our services, markets and client portfolio.
• Work in a small, agile environment where decisions can be made quickly and your contribution is visible.
• Opportunity to grow your responsibilities and earning potential as the business expands.
