We are looking for a driven, entrepreneurial Business Development professional to work closely with our leadership team on scaling our AI solutions across multiple merchant segments in Singapore. Our product is still relatively new to the market. We need someone with a strong hunter mentality who will go beyond traditional sales activities and help build the business from the ground up. This is not just about selling a product. It is about creating the market and the opportunities for it.
Responsibilities
- Business Development & Merchant Acquisition
- Find, approach and win new merchants across multiple segments in Singapore.
- Open new markets and create opportunities on your own, from prospecting through to closing.
- Build and manage a structured pipeline, from identification and outreach through qualification, proposal and close.
- Work from target lists, but also bring your own network and instincts on where to hunt.
- Partnerships & Relationship Building
- Build long-term relationships with merchants, partners and other players in the ecosystem.
- Network actively through industry events, communities and partner channels to raise brand awareness and generate leads.
- Identify merchant pain points and position our AI solutions in commercial terms that show clear business value.
- Run deals end to end: pitch, commercial negotiation, internal alignment and onboarding handoff.
- Work closely with product and operations so merchant onboarding goes smoothly and merchant feedback reaches the right people.
- Share insights from each merchant segment (pricing sensitivity, integration requirements, decision-maker profiles) to help shape our go-to-market strategy.
- Help build and improve the sales playbook as we learn what works.
