Business Development Manager – International Market Expansion (UK)

Are you interested in cutting-edge technologies and cross-border collaboration?

Do you want to help businesses expand internationally?

Are you an efficient researcher and a good communicator?

If that’s yes to all three, then we’re looking for someone like you to help us expand our global International Market Expansion practice.

We want you to work with our senior business development team to discover, engage and convert new clients to take on a journey of expansion in Asia. 

Business Development Manager – International Market Expansion (UK)

You’ll work alongside a diverse group of 180+ business development consultants with a deep specialism in Asia. Over 35 years in the business, we’ve helped more than 1,000 western tech startups, scaleups and SMEs establish and grow in China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, India and Southeast Asia – generating upwards of $800 million in revenues for them.

We’re focused on the technologies and ideas that are helping to solve the world’s social, health and environmental challenges. And we’re growing our business development team. So, if you think you’re up for the challenge, read on – and apply.

What you'll be doing

As a Business Development Manager, you’ll be supporting our global team across Europe and Asia though research, outreach, proposals, account management and marketing.

You’ll be identifying high-growth potential companies from a diverse pool of innovative startups, scaleups and SMEs.

You’ll be engaging prospective clients daily – through emails, calls, F2F meetings, and occasional trade show visits. Your targets will include founders, CEOs, CCOs and CTOs, so you’ll need to establish credibility quickly. To do that, you’ll need a technical background to grasp the commercial and technical value propositions of your prospects and understand how to tailor our services to their needs.

You’ll regularly travel to Europe - and, occasionally, to the USA, Middle East and Asia - to meet clients, attend exhibitions and conferences, and see colleagues in our global offices.

You’ll have a full suite of tools at your disposal – from Salesforce CRM, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and Pitchbook to a library of company decks and templates, as well as the day-to-day support and collective experience of your colleagues around the world.

What you'll be getting

  • A competitive salary and holidays
  • The chance to work with an international team (30+ nationalities and counting) within a diverse and open-minded company culture
  • Opportunities to travel
  • A chance to sharpen your business development, sales and consulting skills by learning from experienced colleagues
  • Exposure to cutting-edge technologies addressing some of the world’s most pressing issues – seeing how people, ideas and technologies from around the world come together to create game-changing products and services

What you'll need

  • Interest in sales and marketing
  • Degree in a STEM-subject or business/management
  • Experience in international business, especially relating to Asia
  • Ability to work in London (with UK work permit incl. grad visa)
  • Availability from August 2025
