As we accelerate our growth in Southeast Asia, we are looking for a results-driven Business Development Manager who can quickly build momentum, open doors with decision-makers, and convert active opportunities into partnerships.
This role suits a hands-on BD professional who understands the education ecosystem and is comfortable being measured on outcomes, not just activity.

- Represent Rosedale at targeted education events, workshops, and meetings (as relevant)
- Work and collaborate closely with internal academic, onboarding, and marketing teams to support and ensure smooth partner onboarding and transition
- Track market trends, competitor activities, and provide regular insights to the leadership team
- Provide structured market intelligence and competitor insights to leadership
- Achieve quarterly and annual growth targets for partner acquisition and revenue.

- Proven track record of meeting/exceeding sales and partnership targets.
- Comfortable working independently with limited handholding.
- Experience negotiating contracts and managing complex stakeholder environments
- Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills.
- Willingness and ability to travel within the region, as required
What We are Looking For
- A practical, commercially minded BD professional
- Commercially sharp and execution-focused
- Someone who understands how schools make decisions and how long (or short) those cycles can be
- Strategic thinker who can also move quickly to close
- A relationship builder who can balance credibility with urgency
- Comfortable being accountable for outcomes, not just meetings
- Confident engaging senior leadership and school boards
- Resilient, proactive, and outcome-oriented
Why This Role
