  • Innovation & Product Feedback Loop: Partner with creative and engineering teams to scope new pitching tools, translating direct client feedback into actionable briefs to evolve our product feature sets.
  • Leadership & Regional Scaling: Lead the long-term development of the Sales function across APAC, including the strategic recruitment and setup of new team members in emerging regional locations.
  • Commercial Integrity & Compliance: Ensure absolute adherence to global selling and trade policies while maintaining an administratively flawless CRM for accurate revenue forecasting

  • High-Level Negotiation: Outstanding influence skills to deal effectively with a broad range of customers in complex situations.
  • Strategic RFP & Proposal Management: Prepare sophisticated RFPs, fee proposals, and sales contracts, ensuring they are competitive, accurate, and fully compliant with local laws.
  • Market Expansion & Outreach: Actively hunt in existing territories (New Zealand, Australia) while strategically breaking ground in new regions across Asia.
  • Brand Ambassadorship: Represent The Boundary at key industry events and on LinkedIn, maximising networking opportunities to build regional brand authority.
