About the Role

This Business Development Manager role is responsible for driving business growth through daily field visits, prospecting, and closing new accounts within your assigned territory. You will maintain and grow key customer accounts while building a strong pipeline of new B2B clients. As you progress, you will also have the opportunity to develop into a leadership role, mentoring and guiding future sales representatives.

Please Note – Career Path & Probationary Period: This position includes a probationary period, during which the employee will work as a Sales Representative. Upon achieving the assigned sales targets, the employee will be promoted to the Business Development Manager (BDM) position. Applicants should therefore understand that this role does not begin as a manager position from day one.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct daily field sales activities — traveling to industrial sites, cold-calling, and visiting prospects to generate new business. You will be in the field every working day, not behind a desk.
• Cover an average daily driving distance of approximately 100 km within your territory, depending on your home base.
• Prospect and develop new B2B customers within assigned territories exclusively in the South Korean domestic market (this role does not involve overseas or cross-border sales).
• Build strong, long-term relationships with industrial clients through regular face-to-face, on-site visits.
• Deliver professional product presentations and tailored solutions directly at customers' facilities.
• Manage and grow your own sales territory independently.
• Consistently achieve sales and business development targets.
• Participate in structured training and coaching programs.
• Prepare for future leadership and people-management responsibilities.

What We're Looking For

• Based in one of the following cities: Suwon, Hwaseong, Anseong, Pyeongtaek, Yongin, or Incheon.
• Valid full driver's license with own vehicle — mandatory, as this role requires driving to customer sites every day.
• Comfortable working in a fully field-based environment — this role requires daily travel to client sites and active prospecting; it is not desk-based work.
• Strong trainability with a genuine willingness to learn and grow.
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to build and maintain strong relationships.
• Competitive, goal-oriented mindset with a strong drive to succeed.
• Prior sales experience is not required — comprehensive training will be provided.
• Fluent Korean language proficiency for effective daily communication with local clients. Excellent written and spoken English communication skills are also required.
• Basic computer proficiency with reliable internet access.

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary plus performance-based bonus scheme.
• Special car allowance covering gas, parking fees and other transportation expenses for field work.
• Comprehensive onboarding with field, classroom, and online sales training.
• Ongoing coaching, mentorship, and strong sales support.
• Clear career progression: promotion from Sales Representative to BDM upon achieving sales targets, with a further pathway into sales leadership and management.
• Professional and financial growth opportunities.
• Division and corporate recognition and awards programs.
