Job Description
【Job Summary】
We are actively seeking a highly dynamic, driven, and performance-oriented Assistant Sales Manager to play a pivotal role in accelerating our rapid growth within the commercial lighting, electrical infrastructure, M&E, and smart-city solution sectors. Positioned as a key leadership role within our business expansion strategy, this position requires a unique blend of hands-on sales acumen, high-level business development capabilities, and strategic team leadership. As our company continues to expand its footprint in large-scale infrastructure, municipal lighting, and modern building developments, the successful candidate will sit at the intersection of strategic market expansion and daily team execution.
In this position, you will be responsible for leading by example. You will directly manage and cultivate high-value B2B customer accounts while simultaneously overseeing, mentoring, and driving the day-to-day productivity of our sales executives. You will be actively engaged in every stage of the project sales lifecycle, ranging from initial market mapping and cold prospective outreach, through technical solution presentation and complex tender management, to final contract negotiation and project handoff. A significant portion of your day-to-day focus will center on identifying, targeting, and securing key partnerships with property developers, M&E contractors, engineering consultants, local government authorities, municipal councils, and specialized distributors.
To excel in this role, you must thrive in a target-driven, fast-paced environment where long sales cycles require structured follow-ups, disciplined customer relationship management, and high technical clarity. You will work in close coordination with internal cross-functional partners—including engineering, product development, operations, logistics, and finance teams—to guarantee that technical specifications are fully aligned, commercial terms remain competitive, and project deliverables are executed seamlessly from order confirmation to final installation. Furthermore, as an Assistant Sales Manager, you will serve as a trusted partner to upper management, offering key insights into market trends, competitor activities, pricing strategies, and emerging product demands, directly influencing our strategic product releases and promotional initiatives.
This role provides an outstanding career opportunity for an established sales executive or assistant manager looking to advance their career toward top-tier leadership positions, such as Sales Manager or Sales Director. If you possess a strong commercial mindset, a proven track record of converting complex project tenders into secured revenues, and a passion for mentoring younger sales talent in a thriving tech-driven industry, this position offers the ideal platform for your professional advancement and long-term career growth.
