You'll partner closely with our Account Executives, helping drive growth across the APAC region by identifying, qualifying, and advancing opportunities with prospective customers.

based in Malaysia.
Responsibilities
What You'll Do
- Own outbound pipeline generation across target accounts throughout APAC.
- Prospect into new organizations through strategic cold calling, email outreach, LinkedIn engagement, and account-based prospecting.
- Identify and engage key decision-makers, influencers, and buying committees.
- Conduct discovery conversations to understand business challenges and uncover opportunities.
- Qualify prospects using established sales methodologies like SPICED and transition opportunities to Account Executives.
- Partner with sales teams to develop territory strategies and targeted account plans.
- Create and execute high-volume, multi-channel outreach campaigns using modern sales engagement tools.
- Consistently exceed activity, meeting creation, and pipeline generation targets.
- Maintain accurate CRM records and provide clear visibility into pipeline activity.
- Stay current on industry trends, customer challenges, and competitive solutions.

What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of experience in Sales Development, Business Development, Inside Sales, or a similar outbound prospecting role.
- Proven success generating opportunities through cold calling and outbound prospecting.
- Strong executive communication skills with the confidence to engage senior business leaders.
- Excellent spoken and written English. You'll be working closely with Account Executives and engaging customers across the APAC region.
- Demonstrated ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-performance sales environment.
- Experience using tools such as Salesloft, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, Salesforce, or similar platforms.
- Strong resilience, persistence, and the ability to maintain momentum through rejection.
- Highly organized with excellent time management and follow-through.
- A competitive mindset with a genuine passion for sales and business growth.
Who Will Succeed Here?
The people who excel in this role are naturally curious, commercially savvy, and persistent. They enjoy building relationships but aren't afraid to make cold calls, challenge assumptions, and create opportunities where none previously existed. They bring energy, professionalism, and strong communication skills to every interaction.
This is a high-outbound, high-visibility role for someone who wants to be measured by results and rewarded for creating opportunity.
