• Strong commercial acumen with experience preparing quotations, proposals, and client presentations.
• Excellent communication skills in Mandarin Chinese (written and verbal) to engage effectively with the client base in China.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, work independently, and adapt to changing business needs.
