What you'll do:

As a Business Development Manager based in Ho Chi Minh City, you will play an integral part in driving business growth through exceptional customer engagement. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve partnering closely with clients to understand their operational challenges and providing bespoke recommendations that address their cleaning and sanitation needs. You will be instrumental in supporting customers through hands-on training sessions, ensuring they are confident in utilising products safely and effectively. By managing installations and maintenance tasks when needed, you will further reinforce your dependability as a trusted advisor. Success in this role requires meticulous attention to detail when completing reports, proactive time management to balance diverse activities, and a genuine passion for helping others achieve their goals. Your approachable nature will enable you to communicate complex information clearly while fostering positive relationships built on empathy and mutual respect.

  • Cultivate strong, lasting partnerships with customers within an assigned territory by understanding their unique cleaning and sanitation needs and offering tailored solutions.
  • Take responsibility for achieving sales targets and managing expenses effectively within your designated area, ensuring optimal performance against set objectives.

  • Oversee the installation and maintenance of equipment as required, ensuring all systems are operating efficiently and meeting customer expectations.
  • Complete all necessary reporting accurately and promptly, maintaining clear records of activities, outcomes, and customer interactions.
  • Demonstrate excellent planning by organising weekly, monthly, and quarterly schedules that optimise time management while accommodating unexpected events or urgent requests.

  • Identify root causes of challenges faced by customers using multiple discovery techniques, collaborating with internal resources to resolve issues swiftly and effectively.
  • Anticipate potential concerns from clients, addressing them empathetically while communicating solutions in an accessible manner that builds trust.
  • Maintain a professional tone in all written communications, producing clear service reports free from jargon or errors.

What you bring:

Your background should reflect a consistent track record of managing multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining high standards of accuracy in documentation. You are known for your empathetic approach when resolving issues; colleagues appreciate your willingness to collaborate across teams for shared success. Your proficiency with technology supports efficient workflow management, while your fluency in English ensures seamless communication both internally and externally. Above all, your dedication to nurturing long-term partnerships sets you apart as someone who genuinely cares about making a difference for clients.

  • A Bachelor’s Degree is required to demonstrate your academic foundation for this role.
  • At least three years of experience in sales or field sales support equips you with practical insights into client engagement strategies.
  • Previous exposure to the foodservice industry ensures you understand sector-specific challenges and can offer relevant advice.
  • Outstanding planning, organisational, communication, and problem-solving abilities allow you to manage multiple priorities effectively while remaining responsive to client needs.
  • A consultative approach to selling enables you to identify opportunities for value creation through attentive listening and thoughtful recommendations.
  • Proficiency with computers—including MS Office suite—ensures you can complete reporting tasks efficiently and leverage digital tools for enhanced productivity.
  • Fluency in English allows you to interact confidently with diverse stakeholders across various contexts.
  • A valid driver’s licence is essential for travel within your assigned territory as required by the role.
  • Customer service orientation underpins your commitment to delivering positive experiences at every touchpoint.
