- Fluency in English is required while proficiency in Vietnamese is considered advantageous for communicating with diverse stakeholders.
- At least seven years of professional experience is expected, including five years specifically dedicated to sales roles within construction—preferably involving pre-engineered steel buildings or structural steel projects—and established connections with main contractors are highly valued.
- Exceptional communication skills allow you to engage persuasively with clients at all levels while fostering trust-based relationships.
- Proven negotiation abilities are demonstrated through a consistent record of successful deal closures that contribute directly to business growth.
- A collaborative approach ensures you can work dependably both independently and as part of a cohesive team environment.
