Regional Sales Director, APAC - BPO | Facilities Management

<p><strong>About us</strong></p><p>We are an onsite outsourcing business operating across six APAC markets — Japan, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, and South Korea — with roughly 800 people delivering services directly on client sites. We operate across three service lines: Facilities Management (reception, mailroom, front of house, event staffing, and workplace services), Logistics (IT asset management, warehouse systems, and related support), and Managed Resources (outcome-based teams for large clients, including a major content-checking program spanning several APAC markets).</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About the role</strong></p><p>This is a newly scoped regional leadership seat with real budget and growth behind it, including a new-country entry already underway. You'll own the sales strategy, pipeline, and commercial standards across all six APAC markets, and take on a portfolio of existing key accounts and channel partnerships, with ownership of their retention, renewal, and growth. This is a build-and-influence role: you'll set the commercial disciplines, coach a small regional sales team, and move the business from referral-led selling toward a structured, qualified pipeline, working through Area Managers rather than a direct sales force. You'll have visibility to the CEO and global commercial leadership.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Key responsibilities</strong></p><ul><li>Own regional sales strategy, pipeline, and commercial standards across six APAC markets</li><li>Manage existing key accounts and channel partnerships; own their retention, renewal, and growth</li><li>Lead and coach market-level sales activity through influence, working with Area Managers who hold day-to-day management of local teams</li><li>Build a small regional sales team and introduce real pipeline discipline — CRM, forecasting, QBRs, and tender/renewal process — in place of referral-led selling</li><li>Lead multi-year, multi-country contract negotiations and renewals</li><li>Represent the business with marquee clients and partners, including global names in property services and technology</li><li>Support a planned new-country market entry and future expansion</li><li>Travel regularly across APAC time zones to support markets and clients directly</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>About you</strong></p><ul><li>10+ years in B2B outsourcing, workplace/facilities services, logistics, or corporate services sales</li><li>Track record of selling and growing multi-year, multi-country outsourcing contracts — solution and outcome-based selling, not one-off placements</li><li>Experience running QBRs, tenders, and contract renewals in a managed-services context</li><li>Proven ability to lead sales performance through influence in a matrixed organization, without solid-line authority</li><li>Multi-market APAC experience, including developing markets</li><li>Comfort and credibility operating in a mid-market/specialist outsourcing environment (rather than large IT BPO scale)</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Personal data provided by job applicants will be used strictly in accordance with the employer's personal data policies, a copy of which will be provided upon request.</p><p><br></p><p><em>Only shortlisted candidates will be notified.</em></p><p><strong>Registration No.:</strong> R1658237 | <strong>EA License No.:</strong> 11C3510 | <strong>Drake International</strong></p><p><br></p><p>You may also register on our company website: <strong>
