Job description

Business Development Manager (Data Center Infrastructure)

An international manufacturer of electrical power distribution solutions is expanding its presence within the fast-growing data center market and is seeking a commercially minded Business Development Manager to drive strategic growth across Singapore and the wider region.

This is not a traditional sales role. We are looking for someone who understands the data center ecosystem, can identify opportunities early in the project lifecycle, build industry relationships, and help shape market strategy.

The role isn't about chasing monthly sales targets or pushing products. It's about opening doors with hyperscalers, colocation operators, consultants and EPCs, helping shape specifications, identifying projects early, and building the regional go-to-market strategy.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute market growth strategies within the data center sector.
• Identify upcoming projects and monitor market activity across Singapore and Southeast Asia.
• Build relationships with developers, hyperscalers, colocation operators, consultants, EPCs, and key industry stakeholders.
• Engage consultants and end-users early to support product specification and market adoption.
• Gather competitive intelligence, customer insights, and industry trends to support business planning.
• Represent the company at industry events, conferences, and networking activities.
• Collaborate closely with regional leadership, engineering, and commercial teams to support business growth.

Requirements

• Experience in business development, strategic accounts, market development, or industry engagement.
• Strong understanding of the data center market and project lifecycle.
• Background in electrical infrastructure, critical power, power distribution, switchgear, busduct/busway systems, UPS, or related solutions is highly advantageous.
• Ability to engage senior stakeholders and influence opportunities early in the project cycle.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to build and develop new markets.

Ideal Backgrounds

We welcome applications from professionals currently working within:

• Critical power and electrical equipment manufacturers
• M&E contractors and EPCs
• Engineering consultancies
• Data center developers and operators
• Mission-critical infrastructure businesses
