Business Development Manager is a core role in Trusting Social's market expansion strategy in Vietnam.

What You'll Do

Prospecting & Pipeline Development

• Proactively identify and approach banks, consumer finance companies and fintech firms with no existing contract with Trusting Social
• Build pipeline independently — not reliant on inbound marketing leads
• Travel regularly between Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and relevant locations as needed for client meetings, product demos and contract negotiations

End-to-End Sales Ownership

• Own the full sales cycle from prospecting through signed contract and go-live
• Negotiate commercial terms, pricing and contract conditions with clients
• Coordinate internally with Finance, Legal and Engineering teams to ensure timely deal closure
• After go-live and implementation are complete, execute formal client handover to the Account Management team according to the timeline agreed between both teams

Solution Consulting

• Consult and present solutions tailored to each client's specific needs, including AI RM Agent, eKYC, Face Authentication, Vision Score and Telco Score
• Build and maintain trusted relationships with key decision-makers (C-level, CTO, CRO) at target organizations

Pipeline & Reporting

• Build and maintain a high-quality opportunity pipeline; keep deal data accurate and up to date in the CRM at all times
• Submit weekly pipeline updates and monthly revenue forecasts to the Senior Business Development Manager
• Proactively identify deal risks and escalate with proposed solutions in a timely manner
• Perform other ad-hoc duties as assigned by line manager

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 7 years of work experience, including at least 3 years of B2B sales within the banks or financial institutions
• Demonstrated track record of closing deals; preference for candidates with contracts above VND 1 billion
• Able to present and explain technology products (AI, data models, digital identity) to non-technical buyers
• Strong negotiation skills at decision-maker level
• Willing to business travel between Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi as required by the nature of the work
• Results-driven — motivated by closing, not by maintaining

Preferred

• Experience selling credit scoring, identity verification or AI products in the financial sector
• Prior experience in a technology startup or scale-up environment
