We value, support and champion those we work with - promoting personal growth and happiness. 😊 We get that our success is dependent on the collective energy, intelligence and contributions of all our team members and we are committed to ensuring our work environment is the best it can be. ⚡

Wonde is expanding rapidly across the APAC region, and we are looking for an agile, self-motivated Business Development Executive to fuel our next phase of growth. 📈

The Opportunity 🎯

This is a true hunter role for someone who thrives on building their own success and creating their own momentum. You will take full ownership of mapping the market, generating leads, and driving targeted campaigns from the ground up.

We need a high-impact professional with a sharp eye for identifying and capitalising on commercial opportunities - someone who seamlessly combines big-picture strategic thinking with a "roll up your sleeves" work ethic.

You will be responsible for building your own pipeline, compressing the sales cycle, and collaborating internally to streamline processes. If you are an adaptable self-starter who excels at both high-level account strategy and hands-on execution, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities 📋

• Opportunity Identification & Market Mapping: Maintain a keen eye on the APAC ed-tech landscape to spot market trends, identify untapped opportunities, and swiftly convert them into actionable sales strategies.
• End-to-End Pipeline & Campaign Ownership: Proactively build and manage a high-volume pipeline. You will execute targeted outbound calls, initiate cold/warm outreach, and generate your own leads without relying on handed-down lists.
• Accelerated Deal Cycles: Take full ownership of the end-to-end sales process. Identify friction points early, remove bottlenecks, and dramatically shorten the timeline from initial contact to close.
• Value-Based Consultative Selling: Rapidly master Wonde’s product suite to deliver persuasive, value-driven pitches, comfortably handling complex objections and demonstrating clear ROI to clients.
• Brand & Market Presence: Represent Wonde at industry events and trade shows across the region, actively driving brand awareness, spotting high-potential leads on the floor, and converting them into qualified pipeline.
• Internal Process Optimisation: Partner cross-functionally with technical, product, and onboarding teams to shortcut internal workflows, reduce friction, and ensure rapid, seamless client onboarding.
• Performance Tracking: Maintain accurate CRM data and report regularly on sales progress, market trends, and pipeline health against target goals.

Requirements

What You’ll Need to Succeed 🔑

Opportunity Spotter: A sharp commercial lens with a proven ability to identify, evaluate, and capitalise on new growth channels, untapped market segments, and strategic partnerships.

• Proven BD Impact: Demonstrated success in a hunter-style business development role (ideally 3–5+ years in SaaS or EdTech), with a verifiable track record of shortening sales cycles and driving revenue.
• Execution + Strategy Mindset: Equally comfortable formulating high-level business development recommendations and doing the essential ground-level work—picking up the phone, drafting campaigns, and driving outreach.
• Agility & Proactive Drive: Highly adaptable, energetic, and self-motivated. You thrive in fast-paced environments, take full initiative, and consistently motivate those around you.
• Internal Synergy: Exceptional ability to build internal partnerships across technical and operations teams to streamline admin processes and improve execution speed.
• Rapid Learning Curve: Strong technical acumen with the ability to swiftly absorb complex software architectures and articulate value propositions with minimal onboarding time.
• Tools & Tech: Experience with CRM platforms (Salesforce strongly preferred) and standard sales engagement tools.
