About the role
Eleotri is a platform creator and event organiser helmed by veterans who have built some of the region’s most recognised convening platforms. Now we are building something new, a platform for the region’s senior technology, business and transformation leaders, designed to become a regional hallmark in its own right.
We are looking for a hunter. Someone who is energised by opening doors that do not yet exist, comfortable selling a compelling vision before the track record is built, and experienced enough to close high-value relationships at the C-suite level without needing a playbook handed to them. This is a new-business role in the truest sense — roughly 90% of your time will be spent building the commercial base from scratch, with account management becoming a growing part of the role as the platform matures and the client base grows. If that is the environment you do your best work in, we want to talk.
What you will do
- Own the revenue target across principal sponsorship, exhibition floor space and digital inventory, and be accountable for delivering it across the platform's early flagship events.
- Hunt for and win commercial partners across frontier technology and enterprise transformation; building both the anchor relationships designed to last across multiple editions, and a broader base so revenue isn't concentrated in a handful of deals.
- Ensure every partner brought onto the platform reinforces its category credibility and audience fit, not just its revenue target.
- Run the full sales cycle independently: prospect, pitch, negotiate, close and rebook. On the platform's most significant anchor relationships, you will work directly alongside the leadership team, who will open board-level introductions to support your pipeline.
- Build a broad, resilient sponsor pipeline across the region, so the commercial operation is never dependent on a small number of conversations going your way.
- Build and own the CRM from the ground up. Every prospect conversation needs to be captured, tracked and assigned a clear next action. Weekly pipeline reports to the leadership team with conversations and revenue projections tracked, and assigned with clear next action.
- Work with the Marketing Manager on ABM campaigns and category-zone content that feed your pipeline.
- Work with the Project Director to develop the sponsorship prospectus, and adapt it for specific prospect conversations where a standard package is not quite the right fit.
- Negotiate individual package terms within the commercial framework the leadership team sets.
- Work with the Operations Manager to make sure every commitment you make commercially is deliverable before you make it.
- As the platform hits its revenue milestones, you will hire and lead a Sales Executive — the first addition to a commercial function you have built from scratch.
What you will bring
- Five to seven years of B2B sales experience, with a track record of closing high-value relationships at C-suite level. Experience in events, media, professional services or technology platforms is strongly preferred.
- A sales background rooted in consultative, multi-touch cycles rather than transactional volume — these are complex conversations with long lead times, multiple decision-makers and no guaranteed quick wins.
- The commercial instinct to know when a prospect is genuinely progressing and when they are stalling — and the confidence to manage both without pushing too hard or losing momentum.
- Genuine startup or scale-up experience. You know what it means to build a pipeline from scratch, to sell something without an established track record, and to find another way in when the obvious approach is not working.
- Existing relationships in the Singapore and regional technology, enterprise or government-linked ecosystem will be weighted seriously in the assessment process.
- Strong written and verbal communication across proposals, presentations and one-on-one conversations. You can write a compelling email and hold a boardroom conversation with the same credibility.
- An understanding that in a small team, your success depends on what the Marketing Manager has built, what the Operations Manager has priced, and what the directors have opened. The sales function does not operate in isolation here, and the right candidate will not want it to.
Preferred but not compulsory:
- Familiarity or genuine interest in frontier technology sectors.
- Experience selling into or alongside government-linked organisations or statutory bodies in Singapore or the broader ASEAN region.
- Familiarity with CRM platforms and pipeline management tools.
Remuneration
Base salary of SGD 5,500 to 6,500 per month, commensurate with experience. Commission structure and on-target earnings will be discussed at first interview.
Why this role
Established events businesses offer you existing revenue to manage. This role offers the chance to build the commercial foundation of a platform from the ground up, working alongside a leadership team who will open doors that would otherwise take years to build on your own. As the platform scales across ASEAN and beyond, the commercial function scales with it.
