Description
Sales Manager – APAC
📍Singapore | 🌏Regional Remit | 💼High Autonomy
This is an opportunity to build something meaningful, not inherit a territory on autopilot.
We are supporting a confidential international technology manufacturer as they relaunch and scale their commercial presence across APAC. The business operates in industrial instrumentation and industrial digital solutions, supplying critical technologies into heavy and process-driven industries.
They are now looking for a Sales Manager – APAC to take ownership of the region and shape what success looks like.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys creating momentum, rebuilding markets, and being trusted to make decisions rather than following a rigid playbook.
Why this role stands out
- You will own APAC as a region, with freedom to prioritise markets, partners, and customers based on where you see the greatest opportunity
- You will be a foundational commercial hire, with real influence on go-to-market strategy, distributor models, and customer engagement
- You will work closely with senior leadership and technical teams, giving you visibility and impact well beyond a typical sales role
- You will help introduce next-generation industrial and digital solutions into established, high-value environments
- You will be based in Singapore, operating as the regional commercial lead rather than a satellite salesperson
This is a role for someone who wants to be known for building a region, not just managing a number.
What you will be doing
- Developing new business across APAC through a mix of direct sales, partners, and strategic accounts
- Re-engaging key customers and opening doors in complex industrial environments
- Building and executing structured account and territory plans
- Working with partners and distributors to raise performance and consistency
- Driving both capital equipment and lifecycle / aftermarket opportunities
- Acting as the commercial voice of APAC internally, feeding market insight back into product, service, and strategy
The type of person this suits
- A commercially driven sales professional with experience selling industrial instrumentation, automation, or industrial digital solutions
- Someone comfortable selling into heavy industries and complex operational environments
- A self-starter who thrives with autonomy, accountability, and trust
- A relationship builder who enjoys long sales cycles and high-value deals
- Someone who sees a regional rebuild as an opportunity, not a risk
You do not need experience in every APAC country. You do need the mindset to build credibility, structure, and momentum.
What you get in return
- A high-visibility regional role with clear long-term career upside
- The chance to help shape a business during a critical growth phase
- Competitive base salary and performance-related incentives
- Regional travel and exposure to senior stakeholders
- The satisfaction of leaving a real commercial footprint across APAC
If you feel ready for more ownership, more influence, and more challenge, this could be the move that defines the next phase of your career.
