A leading provider of corporate services in Malaysia is seeking a Business Development Manager to join their team in Kuala Lumpur. This role offers the opportunity to work with international clients, drive new business opportunities, and contribute to the growth of delivering high-quality outsourcing and consulting solutions.

What you'll do:

As a Business Development Manager based in Kuala Lumpur, you will play a pivotal role in driving the organisation’s growth by promoting its diverse range of professional services to prospective clients across Malaysia. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve building strong networks through proactive outreach—whether via cold calls or attending industry events—and collaborating closely with internal teams to maximise cross-selling opportunities. You will leverage your deep understanding of governance environments to analyse market strategies and evaluate potential deals that align with organisational priorities. By conducting thorough market research and participating in key industry gatherings, you will help position the company as a trusted partner for international clients seeking high-quality outsourcing solutions. Success in this role requires you to be highly responsive to client needs, adept at uncovering new business segments, and committed to developing strategies that deliver tangible value for both existing customers and new prospects.

  • Proactively promote and represent the organisation’s suite of corporate services to prospective clients throughout Malaysia by engaging in meaningful conversations and presentations.
  • Build a robust pipeline of sales opportunities by connecting with both existing and new clients, collaborating with client-facing team members to encourage cross-selling and up-selling.
  • Identify and pursue new business prospects through diligent prospecting, cold calling, networking, and relationship-building activities within relevant industries.
  • Establish, nurture, and maintain strong relationships with clients by understanding their needs and exploring potential avenues for revenue growth.
  • Apply industry-specific technical knowledge to navigate governance and professional services environments effectively while supporting client requirements.
  • Assist in creating potential business deals by analysing market strategies, deal requirements, financials, evaluating options, and resolving priorities in alignment with organisational goals.
  • Conduct comprehensive market research to uncover emerging trends, identify new client segments, and provide actionable insights that inform overall business strategy.
  • Participate actively in industry events, networking sessions, seminars, and conferences to enhance visibility and brand positioning within the Malaysian corporate services sector.
  • Develop innovative strategies aimed at enhancing value for existing clients while expanding the firm’s presence into new market segments through collaborative efforts.

What you bring:

The ideal candidate for the Business Development Manager brings extensive experience from business development or B2B sales positions within corporate or professional service sectors. Your proven ability to understand governance frameworks allows you to support clients effectively while identifying new revenue streams. You possess exceptional interpersonal skills that facilitate trust-based relationships with both colleagues and clients. Your fluency in English ensures clear communication across diverse audiences; additional proficiency in Mandarin further strengthens your engagement capabilities. Analytical thinking enables you to conduct insightful market research that shapes business strategy. You thrive when collaborating within supportive teams—sharing knowledge generously—and demonstrate unwavering commitment to achieving targets through honest negotiation and polished presentations. Participation in industry events has equipped you with valuable networking skills that enhance organisational visibility. Your dedication to ongoing learning keeps you at the forefront of developments within corporate services.

  • Minimum five years’ experience in business development or B2B sales within corporate services, professional services or consulting environments is essential for success in this role.
  • Relevant governance industry knowledge combined with proven sales experience demonstrates your ability to navigate complex regulatory landscapes while supporting client objectives.
  • In-depth understanding of the Company Secretarial profession is highly desirable; candidates with a track record of sales achievements in this area will be particularly valued.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills are required as you consistently achieve sales targets through effective communication, negotiation, and presentation abilities.
  • Fluency in English is mandatory; proficiency in Mandarin (both written and spoken) is considered an added advantage for engaging diverse client groups.
  • Strong analytical skills enable you to conduct market research efficiently while providing valuable insights that inform strategic decisions.
  • Ability to collaborate seamlessly with internal teams fosters an environment where cross-selling and up-selling are encouraged for mutual benefit.
