- Build and execute comprehensive sales and marketing plans.
- Deliver tailored proposals to professional firms (investment banks, securities firms, insurers, consulting and M&A advisory firms, PE funds, etc.).
- Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure seamless value delivery.
- Take ownership of establishing the market, with potential to set up and lead a local office in Korea.
What You Will Need
- 10+ years of proven success in corporate sales and new business development in South Korea, with a strong record of exceeding sales targets.
- Native-level Korean, with business communication skills in English or Japanese.
- Entrepreneurial mindset and ability to develop innovative approaches beyond existing frameworks.
- Experience in engaging executive-level decision-makers at large corporations.
- Commitment to driving long-term business expansion with ownership and accountability.
