Job description

⚡ At Uncommonly Good People (UGP), we partner with global digital marketing powerhouses, high-growth performance agencies, and data-driven media innovators across APAC to hire exceptional commercial talent.

We’re now supporting the search for a Business Development Lead – SEA , based in Singapore , to drive regional growth across social media, performance marketing and the Google Marketing Platform ecosystem.

This is a role for a true hunter — someone who’s commercially sharp, deeply connected across the region, and energised by building new business from the ground up.

What You’ll Do

As the Business Development Lead, you’ll own the full commercial engine : identifying opportunities, building senior-level relationships, crafting cross-channel solutions, and driving the success of social (TikTok, Meta, etc.) and GMP offerings across Southeast Asia.

You’ll act as the face of the business in the region, bringing together media, creative and technology solutions to unlock measurable growth for clients across e-commerce, FMCG, retail, and more.

  • You have the energy and grit of a builder — you don’t wait for opportunities, you create them.
  • You love the thrill of pitching, negotiating, closing, and winning.
  • You’re genuinely passionate about social media, performance marketing and the GMP stack.
  • You’re well-connected across SEA and enjoy building high-trust relationships with CMOs, Heads of Digital, Growth Leaders and performance-driven brands.
  • You enjoy working closely with strategy, media, creative and tech teams to deliver full-funnel solutions.
  • You want a role where impact is visible, measurable, and celebrated.
  • Own the end-to-end sales cycle — prospecting, pitching, solutioning, negotiating and closing.
  • Build and convert high-value pipeline across social and GMP solutions.

Strategic Partnerships

  • Build direct relationships with senior decision-makers across e-commerce, FMCG, performance retail and fast-growth verticals.
  • Position yourself as a trusted advisor by crafting integrated, creative solutions that combine social, performance and technology.
  • Develop a clear GTM plan for SEA, identifying priority markets and industry opportunities.
  • Stay ahead of platform updates, market shifts and competitor activity to maintain a strong edge.
  • Collaboration & Delivery Excellence

  • Partner closely with strategy, media, creative, analytics and operations teams to ensure seamless delivery and measurable success.
  • Work cross-functionally to scale wins across markets and unlock long-term client value.
  • What You’ll Need to Succeed

    Skills & Experience (Non-Negotiable)

  • 7–10 years in sales / business development across digital marketing, social media, performance or ad tech
  • Proven success closing new business in TikTok, Meta and / or the GMP stack (DV360, CM360, SA360, GA360)
  • Regional SEA exposure and an existing client network across e-commerce, FMCG or retail
  • Strong commercial instincts with the ability to design solutions that blend media, tech and creative
  • Excellent communicator with high credibility at senior stakeholder level
  • Entrepreneurial mindset — proactive, self-starting, and comfortable owning the number
  • Singapore-based, with readiness to travel across SEA
  • Why This Role Is Uncommonly Good ✨

    This is a high-visibility commercial role in one of the most dynamic areas of digital marketing. You’ll work with cutting-edge platforms, award-winning specialists, and a global team recognised by industry leaders.

  • Big-brand exposure across high-growth sectors
  • A business that moves quickly, innovates boldly, and rewards entrepreneurship
  • Collaboration across strategy, creative, media and technology
  • Competitive salary + commission structure
  • Clear pathways for regional growth and international mobility
  • If you’re ready to build something meaningful across SEA — and thrive in a space where commercial wins matter — this role gives you the platform and support to do exactly that.
