ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a Singapore-focused business development marketing role. You will own the relationship between marketing and the Singapore Business Units - understanding what each BU needs to grow, translating that into targeted acquisition campaigns, and activating the right partnerships and events to build brand presence and client pipeline.

Your role is to understand CRM well enough to execute it intelligently - knowing what segments to target, what journeys to trigger, and how to connect your campaign thinking to the data layer - without running it yourself.

The right person is energised by relationships and business outcomes, comfortable working across BU stakeholders and external partners, and understands that in Singapore, acquisition marketing is built on trust and relationships - not media spend.
