Senior Executive, Business Development

At Senses International, fragrance is more than scent — it is memory, emotion, identity

and experience.

Founded in Singapore in 2009, Senses International has grown into one of the region's

emerging fragrance houses, partnering brands across personal care, home care, air care,

fabric care and fine fragrance categories. From concept creation to formulation and

manufacturing, we combine creative artistry, research-driven innovation and market

understanding to develop fragrances that shape how consumers experience products

and brands.

As a proudly home-grown Singapore company competing in a highly specialised global

industry, we combine the agility of an entrepreneurial business with a passion for

innovation, customer partnership and continuous capability development.

As we continue our next phase of regional growth, we are looking for commercially

curious individuals who enjoy building customer relationships, learning continuously

and helping customers bring great products to market.

The Opportunity

Behind every successful fragrance lies an understanding of people, products, brands and

consumers.

As a Senior Executive in Business Development, you will become the commercial bridge

between our customers and our creative and technical teams. Every customer

engagement begins with understanding a customer's business, products, aspirations

and market before working collaboratively to transform ideas into commercially

successful fragrance solutions.

This is not a traditional sales role focused solely on transactions or revenue targets. It is

a consultative commercial role where success comes from building trusted customer

relationships, identifying opportunities, coordinating fragrance development projects

and helping customers develop products that consumers enjoy.

Working alongside experienced Perfumers, commercial professionals and cross-

functional teams, you will gain exposure to fragrance applications, consumer products,

market trends and regional business environments while developing your commercial

capability within one of the most specialised sectors of the FMCG industry.

Who We Want

Besides possessing an academic qualification in a business-related discipline and at

least 3 years of business development, sales or account management experience within

a non-perishable FMCG B2B environment, you enjoy building relationships and are

genuinely interested in understanding how businesses grow, how products are

developed and how consumer preferences influence markets.

More importantly, you are someone who takes ownership of your own development.

Rather than waiting for structured training or someone to tell you what to do, you actively

seek knowledge, ask questions, observe, explore and continuously build your

understanding of products, customers and markets. You recognise that success in a

specialised industry comes from curiosity, initiative and a willingness to learn through

experience.

You are comfortable working in a dynamic SME environment where priorities evolve,

expectations are high and individuals are trusted to take ownership of outcomes. You

remain organised while managing multiple customer projects, communicate confidently

with customers and colleagues, and respond positively to constructive feedback. You are

resilient when faced with setbacks, persistent in following through on customer

commitments, and motivated by achieving long-term business outcomes rather than

simply closing the next transaction.

While experience within the fragrance, flavours, ingredients or related manufacturing

industries would be advantageous, we are equally interested in candidates from other

non-perishable FMCG B2B industries who possess strong commercial curiosity, a

genuine interest in understanding consumer products and markets, and the discipline to

continuously build their product, application and market knowledge. Above all, we are

looking for someone who enjoys learning, embraces challenges and is committed to

building a long-term career within a specialised and growing industry.

If you are looking for a career where continuous learning, commercial curiosity and

meaningful customer partnerships are valued as much as business results, we would
