M5Wealth Hiring! Full Time Business Development Manager - Singapore in - Ricebowl

Business Development Manager — Singapore

M5 WealthTech  |  Shape the next chapter of Wealth Management Technology

You know how wealth management works. You’ve seen the strong relationships, the complex decisions, and the hours lost to disconnected systems and manual processes. Now imagine helping firms change that.

At M5, we’re building an AI-native operating platform that connects client onboarding, multi-custodian data, portfolio analytics, investment workflows, reporting and business operations. Our mission is to help wealth businesses rethink how they work, unlock productivity and create room to grow.

We’re looking for someone with industry knowledge, commercial ambition and the curiosity to ask: “How could this business work better?”

THE OPPORTUNITY:

Own and grow M5’s business in Singapore. Engage industry decision-makers and help turn their business ambitions into practical change.

If you’re a private banker or wealth professional considering a move into technology, we’d love to hear from you. This is an opportunity to bring your relationships and firsthand industry experience into a business helping shape how wealth management evolves with AI and technology.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Open doors. Build relationships. Win business. Engage EAMs, family offices, MFOs and wealth managers. Turn promising conversations into qualified opportunities, compelling proposals and lasting client partnerships.
• Start with the business. Speak with founders, CEOs, COOs and CIOs about their ambitions, daily challenges and operating processes. Ask good questions, listen carefully and uncover where change would make a meaningful difference.
• Help clients reimagine how they work. Explore how firms can redesign processes, connect fragmented workflows and free their teams to spend more time on clients and growth.
• Make the value clear. Build business cases around measurable outcomes: time saved, greater service capacity, better client experiences and the ability to scale.
• Own the deal from first conversation to signed contract. Lead discovery, demonstrations, proposals, evaluations and negotiations. Take responsibility for your pipeline, revenue targets, forecasts and follow-through.
• Build the market with us. Develop local partnerships, represent M5 at industry events and discover the messages and channels that resonate. Your insights will help shape our regional strategy.
• Bring the market into the product. Share what clients need, challenge our thinking and work with the team to improve the platform. Set clear expectations and support a smooth handover to implementation.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING:

• At least 5 years of relevant experience in private banking, wealth management, fintech, enterprise technology sales or financial-services business development.
• A track record of winning clients, growing revenue or developing valuable commercial relationships.
• An understanding of how wealth managers, EAMs or family offices operate, and a network in SIngapore’s wealth ecosystem.
• Strong communication, presentation and negotiation skills, with disciplined follow-up.
• Fluent English and the ability to conduct business conversations in your covered markets. Mandarin is a plus.
• The confidence to hold meaningful conversations with senior decision-makers about their business, processes and growth plans.
• A consultative approach: you can understand a problem, explore solutions and connect technology capabilities to business outcomes.
• Initiative, curiosity and ownership. You enjoy creating opportunities and take responsibility for moving them forward.

WHAT WILL HELP YOU STAND OUT:

• Experience selling technology or leading transformation initiatives within wealth management.
• Private Banking experience with connections in Multifamily office, family offices and asset management.
• Experience building partnerships or entering a new market.
• You have scaled a new organisation in the wealthtech industry in the last 5 years.

You don’t need to have sold software before. If you bring wealth-industry credibility, commercial results and the drive to learn consultative platform sales, we’re interested.

WHY JOIN M5?

• Competitive pay: a strong base salary that reflects your skills and potential.
• Real ownership: take responsibility for a market and see the impact of your work directly.
• Access and influence: work directly with the CEO and contribute to commercial and product decisions.
• A meaningful mission: help wealth businesses use AI and technology to improve how they operate and serve clients.
• Room to build: develop your career at the intersection of wealth management, technology and business transformation.
• A team behind you: collaborate with product and solution specialists to turn ideas into credible client solutions.
