The Role We are looking for an International Business Development Manager to join our International Business Development (IBD) team, based in Singapore, report to China & Hong Kong (CMHK) organization and focused on the Asia Pacific & Japan (APJ) region. Our mission is to accelerate CMHK customers’ global expansion — helping high-growth companies grow across borders in both directions. You will own the cross-border go-to-market bridge between customers expanding into and out of CMHK, connecting them with the right regional teams, partners, and programs to turn expansion ambitions into launched business. This is a high-ownership, result-driven role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, works comfortably across cultures and time zones, and is energized by making others successful. You will act as a single-threaded owner for cross-border growth in APJ — spotting opportunities early, orchestrating the players who can capture them, and driving momentum from first introduction through to sustained growth.
Key job responsibilities What You’ll Do • Own cross-border go-to-market in APJ. Act as the single-threaded owner for cross-border growth in the region — driving strategy, execution, and outcomes end-to-end rather than waiting for boundaries to be drawn. Connect customers with the right teams. Orchestrate high-quality introductions between customers and the regional account, partner, and specialist teams best placed to serve them, accelerating pipeline through relationships and trust. • Lead China–ASEAN / APJ collaboration. Own the region’s most active cross-border corridor, building and sustaining the relationships and cadences that move opportunities forward across markets. • Accelerate pipeline and drive launched business. Identify, unblock, and progress cross-border opportunities — measured by influenced pipeline and launched revenue across both expansion motions. Orchestrate events and GTM activities. Plan and run the executive engagements, customer events, and go-to-market activities that create momentum and open doors across regions. • Partner across a matrixed organization. Work hand-in-hand with program teams, regional sales leaders, and partners — succeeding by making others successful and strengthening ownership in the ambiguous spaces between teams. • Make cross-border value visible. Define and communicate a clear service model — what you offer, when to engage you, and what you deliver — so your contribution compounds into recognized business impact.

About the team About the Team The International Business Development team drives a two-way, cross-border growth mandate. We help customers based in one market succeed as they expand into another — combining deep local relationships, cross-regional coordination, and go-to-market expertise that no single account team owns alone. The team operates across the two core motions that define cross-border growth: • China2Global (C2G) Outbound expansion — supporting fast-growing customers as they enter APJ market, connecting them to the regional account teams and resources that accelerate their launch and scale. • Global2China (G2C) — helping APJ customers land and grow in CMHK, building the local relationships and go-to-market motion that turn interest into launched business. This APJ-based seat concentrates on the region’s highest-value cross-border flows, with a particular focus on collaboration between China and the broader ASEAN and APJ markets — the single heaviest cross-border corridor the team supports.
