Asia House is seeking a Corporate Services Manager to join the Business & Policy Unit.
The successful candidate will be expected to market and sell the range of services Asia House offers, including advisory/research services, membership, sponsorship of events and publications, event production and advertorials/sponsored content.
The successful candidate will have clear sales objectives.
He/she must have the ability to assess what mix of services a potential client requires and must be able to present coherent and well-structured sales pitches to senior corporate figures.
The successful candidate will drive Asia House efforts to increase commercial engagement from corporate entities – the organisation’s key revenue stream. Through rigorous research and working closely with the existing Business & Policy Programme team, the Corporate Services Manager will identify potential new clients based on their interests in Asian business, economics, policy and politics.
In addition, the manager will look at Asia-based companies with interests in the UK and Europe where Asia House can provide valuable services to support their commercial activities.
The Corporate Services Manager will be expected to make contact with potential new clients and explain the benefits of taking up membership and/or a package of services with Asia House.
Identifying key decision-makers in target firms will be a key factor for success, along with arranging meetings for themselves or senior colleagues to engage and make sales. Working closely with the CEO and Director of Corporate Affairs, the post-holder will be the main driver for new business relationships.
The successful candidate will have a significant and demonstrable track record in sales and most likely also experience of marketing or business to business communications. He/she needs to grasp the value proposition of Asia House, the diverse needs within the corporate sector and have a keen sense of companies and industries where Asia House can provide commercially viable services.
This is a hands-on role for a high performance sales-person with excellent communications skills, ideally also with knowledge and understanding of Asia, corporate and public affairs, global politics and macroeconomics.
