Principal Business Development

Principal, Business Development

Singapore | Client Solutions | Unispace

Build relationships. Win iconic clients. Shape the future of work.

Some people sell products.

Others build partnerships that transform global businesses.

At Unispace, we're looking for a commercially driven, relationship-first Principal, Business Development to help drive our continued growth across Singapore and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

This isn't about cold calling from a spreadsheet. It's about opening doors, creating opportunities, influencing major organisations and helping some of the world's biggest brands rethink how and where they work.

If you're someone who loves connecting people, spotting opportunities before anyone else and turning conversations into long-term partnerships, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Unispace

We're a global design, strategy and construction company creating workplaces for many of the world's most recognisable organisations.

Operating across 48 studios worldwide, we bring together strategy, design, technology and delivery under one roof, helping clients create spaces where people genuinely want to work.

Singapore is a key hub for our business across Asia, and this is an opportunity to play an important role in our continued growth across the region.

And because our clients are global, the opportunity doesn't stop at Singapore. A relationship developed locally can create opportunities across Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Americas, working alongside colleagues throughout the Unispace network.

What you'll be doing

You'll be a senior face of Unispace within the Singapore market — building relationships, identifying opportunities and driving sustainable business growth.

You'll:

• Develop and execute the local business development strategy
• Build trusted relationships with senior decision-makers and C-suite stakeholders
• Generate and convert new business opportunities
• Develop long-term relationships with major local and multinational organisations
• Partner with marketing to create engaging campaigns, events and networking initiatives
• Work alongside strategy, design and delivery teams to create compelling client solutions
• Identify cross-border opportunities with colleagues across our global network
• Leverage market intelligence and client insight to stay ahead of competitors
• Coach and develop others within the Business Development team
• Become a recognised ambassador for the Unispace brand within the Singapore market

You'll also have the backing of an established international business and wider lead-generation capability, while retaining the freedom to develop your own relationships and approach to the market.

What we're looking for

You'll probably have experience in business development, client solutions or strategic sales within commercial interiors, workplace, architecture, design & build, construction, corporate real estate or a related professional services environment.

More importantly, you'll bring:

• A proven track record of winning new business and developing key accounts
• A strong network within the Singapore business and real estate community
• Outstanding relationship-building and influencing skills
• Commercial awareness with a strategic mindset
• Confidence engaging and presenting to senior stakeholders and C-suite clients
• An understanding of the workplace, commercial interiors or wider built environment
• The ability to turn initial conversations into meaningful long-term client relationships
• Experience leading, mentoring or developing others
• Curiosity, resilience and a genuine passion for creating opportunities

What makes this role different

You'll have the freedom to shape strategy — not just execute it.

You'll work alongside experienced Business Development leadership in Singapore while becoming part of a genuinely global BD network.

Our international model means the relationships you build can extend far beyond a single project or geography. Win the right multinational client in Singapore and you could find yourself collaborating with colleagues in London, New York, Sydney or elsewhere across our global network.

You'll have exposure to major organisations, significant workplace projects and an environment where successful Business Development people can make a visible impact on the direction and growth of the business.

Why you'll love working here

At Unispace, our people are at the centre of everything we do.

We offer:

• A genuinely collaborative and supportive culture
• Exposure to globally recognised brands and landmark projects
• The opportunity to work alongside experienced industry leaders
• Career progression across an international business
• Global exposure across Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Americas
• Hybrid and flexible working
• Ongoing learning and leadership development
• Competitive salary, benefits and performance-related earning potential
• The opportunity to make a real commercial impact from day one
