What the Role Entails Core Objectives

To spearhead the acquisition of new performance advertising clients in Vietnam, with a focus on the casual / hyper-casual mobile game segment. The role involves managing the full sales cycle from lead generation to deal closure, contributing to team revenue, building a robust client pipeline, and assisting in the development of overseas sales systems and industry-specific capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the Vietnam growth strategy. Define the go-to-market plan and build a robust client pipeline across Mobile Games, Apps, and other performance advertisers in Vietnam.
• Build and manage a multi-channel sourcing engine. Proactively identify and engage potential advertisers through ecosystem partnerships, industry summits, online research, and partner referrals.
• Win and own executive relationships. Lead high-quality client meetings, act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders, and clearly communicate the value proposition of Tencent AMS overseas solutions. Conduct this in Vietnamese — discovery, pitching, objection handling and negotiation with founders, UA leads and publishing heads, in the local business context rather than a translated global deck.
• Lead the full sales cycle and negotiation. Own the creation and delivery of sales pitches, manage the negotiation process, and drive deals through contract signing and client onboarding.
• Build the overseas sales system and playbook. Establish disciplined CRM management, industry-specific playbooks, and repeatable processes — turning individual wins into a scalable, documented operating model.

• Drive internal ecosystem synergy. Establish collaborative relationships with other international-expansion business units to share resources and create win‑win outcomes.
• Be the voice of the Vietnam market. Feed local reality back to Product, Ops and Marketing — monetization models, UA budget cycles, eCPM and floor-price benchmarks, local payment and compliance constraints, competitor behaviour.
• Represent the company in market. Vietnam game and ad‑tech events, developer and publisher communities, local agency networks; build referral loops that keep producing leads after the event ends.

Plus a working network in Vietnam's casual / hyper‑casual mobile game ecosystem — publishers, studios and the agencies that buy on their behalf.
• Entrepreneurship — Thrives in a 0→1 environment: Comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and a pace set by the business rather than by established process. Brings strong intrinsic motivation and genuine ownership — acts before being asked, treats the Vietnam market as their own business, and takes responsibility for the outcome, with a habit of following things through.
• Leadership — market ownership — Experience owning a market, business line or region with revenue responsibility; Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously in uncertain, early‑stage environments.
