Sales Manager, Asia
Build and lead Firmable's Singapore sales team. Live customers, a funded demand engine, an initial Singapore and Malaysia focus, and the regional number to own.
Firmable is the sales action platform for modern revenue teams. We build one of the richest proprietary datasets on companies and the people inside them, then turn it into intelligence sales teams can actually act on. Backed by leading investors and growing fast across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India and the United States, with a team of around 100 people.
Singapore is where our Asia business is being built. We have a live customer base, a funded demand engine, and an initial two-market focus across Singapore and Malaysia. What we do not yet have is a leader on the ground running the sales team. That is this role.
The Role
The Sales Manager, Asia leads Firmable's Singapore-based sales team: Account Executives and Sales Development Representatives selling into the Singapore and Malaysia markets, with Hong Kong, the Philippines and Indonesia covered from Singapore.
You own the revenue number for the region and the people who deliver it. You will hire, coach and hold a team accountable, and you will be in the room on the deals that matter, supporting the AE who owns the opportunity rather than taking it off them.
This role does not carry an individual new business quota. Your number is the team's number. Reporting to the Head of Sales - APAC.
What You'll Own
Team leadership
Lead a team of Account Executives and SDRs, holding each accountable for quota attainment, pipeline coverage and process discipline
Set and run the operating rhythm: forecast calls, pipeline reviews, deal reviews and team meetings
Run structured weekly one to ones covering pipeline, deal strategy, capability and performance against target
Direct the day to day work of the team, including prioritisation of accounts, opportunities and activity
Performance and development
Set individual expectations and development plans, and formally review performance each cycle
Identify underperformance early, design and implement documented improvement plans, and manage them through to resolution
Coach on discovery, qualification, commercial negotiation and executive engagement, including attending customer meetings in a coaching capacity
Assess readiness for promotion, recommend progression, and build succession inside the team
Hiring and ramp
Determine the size and shape of the team needed to deliver the regional plan, and make the case for headcount
Define role requirements and selection criteria, interview and assess candidates, and make hiring recommendations
Own onboarding and ramp for new starters, including territory allocation, initial targets and progress against ramp milestones
Revenue and territory
Deliver the Asia revenue plan across the SMB inbound and mid-market SDR-led motions
Allocate and reallocate quota, territories, accounts and inbound opportunities across the team
Hold the team to forecast accuracy and take corrective action where coverage or conversion falls behind
Report performance, pipeline and risk to the Head of Sales - APAC
Commercial governance
Review and approve pricing, discounting and non-standard terms within delegated authority, escalating beyond that threshold
Own the migration from monthly to annual commitments, where the retention difference is material
Recommend remuneration, commission plan and equity changes for team members
Own the integrity of the team's records in HubSpot as the basis for company reporting and forecasting
Cross-functional
Contribute to segment strategy, annual planning and headcount planning as part of the sales leadership group
Partner with Marketing on demand and conversion, with Revenue Operations on process, reporting and commission design, and with the data team on coverage in Asian markets
Feed market intelligence back to Product and leadership, particularly on where our data needs to be stronger to win
What We're Looking For
Must Haves
5+ years in B2B software sales, including at least one year leading, coaching or formally supervising sales professionals
Demonstrated experience carrying and delivering a team number, not only an individual one
Track record hiring, developing and performance managing professional sales staff
Deep familiarity with the Singapore market and the way business gets done here, plus working knowledge of Malaysia
Proven capability in multi-stakeholder sales cycles with senior commercial and technology decision makers
Fluency in structured sales process, pipeline management and forecast discipline, with strong CRM hygiene as a non-negotiable
You use AI for research, prospect intelligence, drafting and workflow automation as your default way of working. In 2026 this is table stakes at Firmable, not a differentiator
Highly Valued
Experience building a sales team in a new or early market rather than inheriting a mature one
Sales intelligence, data or martech background, and a view on how to win against a low-cost incumbent
Selling into software and IT services or recruitment and staffing, our strongest verticals
HubSpot at depth
Comfort operating across a distributed team, including remote direct reports in another market
A bachelor degree or higher in business, commerce, technology or a related discipline
How We Build
AI-native, not AI-assisted
AI is not a productivity tool bolted onto how we already worked. It is the workflow. Sales leaders here are expected to run research, account planning, call review and reporting through AI as a default operating mode, and to raise the bar for the team on the same. If you are open to this but not yet doing it, this role will require a fast and genuine shift.
The operating environment
Firmable runs lean and ships fast. Small senior teams, no layers, minimal process. Asia is an early market being built deliberately, which means the plan is specific, the checkpoints are real, and you will have visibility of exactly what the region is being measured on. The pace is high and the ownership is genuine.
Why This Role
You build the team, rather than inherit it. Structure, territories, standards and ramp are yours to set
The regional plan is funded, sequenced and already generating inbound. This is not a cold start
Direct line to the Head of ANZ and Asia and to the executive team, with real influence over how Asia is resourced
Firmable's data is the moat, and you will be leading the people who take it to a market that has not yet heard of us
Career runway into regional leadership as the team scales
Firmable is an equal opportunity employer. We believe diverse teams build better products.
