This role is for people who live for closing deals.

If you wait for inbound leads to land in your inbox, this is not the seat for you. If you measure your week by meetings booked, pipeline created, and contracts signed, keep reading.

We are growing fast across Southeast Asia, and we need a senior closer in Singapore who can open doors, run a consultative sale, and bring deals home in the USD 100K to USD 1M+ range.

About GRADION:

We are a specialist technology partner for ambitious businesses. We build the digital platforms, AI systems, and deep-tech solutions behind the next generation of category leaders.

A few numbers that matter:

  • 23+ years building digital products and platforms

  • 300+ specialists across Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Germany, and Egypt

  • 100+ enterprise clients, including several unicorns (Alaiko, HomeToGo, Roadsurfer)

  • Vietnam's #1 IT Company in 2024 and 2025 (ITViec), ranked top 8 years running

  • ISO 27001 certified

We work with Founders, CIOs, and operators who need things shipped, not slideware.

The role

You will own new client acquisition across Singapore and the wider Southeast Asia market. This is a senior individual contributor seat with real commercial autonomy. You build your pipeline, you run your deals, you close your numbers.

You will work alongside our pre-sales and delivery teams to shape proposals that we can actually execute on. No overselling. No hand-offs to a delivery team that inherits a mess. What you sell is what we build.

Deal sizes typically range from USD 100K to USD 1M+, across software engineering, AI and automation, cybersecurity, ERP, e-commerce platforms, and strategy consulting.

What good looks like
  • A self-built pipeline of qualified enterprise opportunities across SEA

  • Consistent quarterly closes against target

  • Senior relationships established at Founder, C-suite and VP level across target industries

  • Deals delivered cleanly, with delivery teams confident in what was sold

What you will own
  • Build and execute a proactive outbound strategy. You hunt. You do not wait.

  • Develop senior-level relationships with CIOs, CTOs, COOs, and VPs across target sectors

  • Run consultative discovery. Translate business problems into technology solutions that actually solve them.

  • Manage the full sales cycle, from first conversation to signed contract

  • Partner with pre-sales and delivery to shape proposals grounded in delivery reality

  • Hit and exceed quarterly and annual revenue targets

Who we are looking for

You are a closer. You enjoy the chase, the negotiation, and the signature at the end.

You should bring:

  • 6+ years selling technology services, software development outsourcing, IT consulting, or digital transformation engagements

  • A proven track record of originating and closing deals in the USD 100K to USD 1M+ range

  • Strong pipeline discipline and the patience to navigate multi-stakeholder, long-cycle sales

  • Executive-level presence and the confidence to sit in front of a board

  • An established network in Singapore's enterprise and technology ecosystem

  • Fluent English, written and spoken

Nice to have:

  • Exposure to AI solutions, SaaS, ERP, or content/digital experience platforms (PIM, DXP, DAM)

Who this role is NOT for

To be direct, because it saves everyone time:

  • People who rely on marketing to fill their calendar

  • People who treat sales as account management

  • People who avoid the hard conversations that close deals

  • People who confuse activity with results

We respect your time. Please respect ours.

Why join us

Real ownership. You run your territory. You build your pipeline. You close your deals. Your commercial judgment is trusted and your contribution is visible.

Compensation that reflects impact. Competitive base, uncapped commission structure, and a performance bonus of up to two months' salary. We do not cap exceptional contributions.

AI-first engineering, senior-led delivery. What you sell, we ship. Our engineering culture treats AI as a core capability, not a buzzword. You will sell with confidence because the delivery is real.

Direct access to leadership. You will work closely with our executive team, including the founder. Strategic decisions happen in rooms you are in.

Global platform, regional autonomy. Sell across Southeast Asia with the backing of a 300-person delivery organization across six countries.

Benefits package: Laptop provided, attractive commission scheme,15 days annual leave.

  • Schedule: Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM (with the flexibility a senior sales role requires)

  • Singapore-based, with regional travel as needed
