Catalist Media is one of APAC’s fastest-growing media brands, telling the stories of entrepreneurs, builders, startups, SMEs, and businesses across Sri Lanka, Malaysia, the UAE, and beyond.

We’re hiring a Business Development Manager in Malaysia to help grow Catalist’s commercial

partnerships, client relationships, branded content campaigns, and media sales.

This role is for someone who can open doors, pitch confidently, follow up properly, build trust with brands and agencies, and help close revenue opportunities.

You’ll work closely with the Catalist team to identify potential clients, create campaign opportunities, manage conversations, and grow our presence in the Malaysian market.

We care less about polished CVs and more about how you communicate, think commercially, execute, and take ownership.

What you will do

• Identify and approach potential clients, brands, agencies, SMEs, and business partners in Malaysia
• Pitch Catalist Media’s content, campaign, and media partnership opportunities
• Build and manage client relationships from first conversation to closing
• Prepare proposals, media packages, and campaign ideas with the team
• Follow up consistently and maintain a strong sales pipeline
• Understand client needs and match them with the right Catalist solutions
• Work with the internal content and operations team to ensure campaigns are delivered well
• Help grow Catalist’s business presence, reputation, and client network in Malaysia

What we are looking for

• Experience in business development, sales, partnerships, media sales, advertising, or client servicing
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Confidence in pitching to brands, SMEs, founders, agencies, and decision-makers
• Good follow-up discipline and ability to manage multiple conversations
• Commercial thinking and ability to spot business opportunities
• Interest in media, content, entrepreneurship, startups, and business storytelling
• Ability to work independently and take ownership
• Based in Malaysia or deeply familiar with the Malaysian business market

You'll fit this role if

You’re ambitious, reliable, commercially sharp, and comfortable speaking to clients.

You don’t wait to be chased. You follow up, solve problems, and find ways to move conversations forward.

This is a role for someone who wants real responsibility and wants to help build Catalist’s Malaysia business from the ground up.
