Business Development Manager - China

Location: Beijing
Department: International
Working Hours: Full Time – 40 hours per week
Contract Type: Permanent
 

About the Role

We are the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), the world's largest and most influential professional body for construction management and leadership.  

We’re looking for a Business Development Manager in China.  Someone who can secure new business, maintain and develop existing relationships in the region, and promote our portfolio of products and services across China.  

You will be responsible for driving forward membership growth at an individual and company level and growing other revenue streams such as event sponsorship.  

You will also work collaboratively with your colleagues across China to develop and maintain key strategic relationships within the region, to grow the CIOB’s influence, recognition and reach.

About You

You will bring experience, ambition and drive to the role.  You’ll be truly collaborative and consistently strive for excellence.  

You’ll be able to demonstrate success within business development, consultative sales, account and relationship management and will have a proven track record of contributing to the growth of a business unit. 

With a high degree of professionalism, honesty and integrity, you will be motivated to achieve results and have excellent communication, influencing and negotiating skills, giving you the ability to adjust your communication style to a wide range of audiences and levels of seniority. We also ask that you have experience of presenting to and engaging with customers at a senior level to win business.

Experience of the construction and built environment sector or within a professional body is desirable but not essential.

Based in Beijing or nearby, you will have a willingness to travel locally and regularly within China (travel restrictions permitting), and to work flexible hours to meet the organisation’s needs.  Liaising regularly with colleagues around the world, you will also have good levels of written and spoken English.
   

Why Work For Us?

We can offer you not only the opportunity to make a real difference with the work you do, but the chance to do that in a really friendly, flexible and welcoming working environment, where we’ll show you that we’re committed to your personal wellbeing and to your development within your role. 

We’ll offer you a range of benefits – from contribution to your MPF through to a variety of health and wellbeing schemes; and we’ll make sure that you’re constantly learning throughout your time with us.  We hold a Silver Investors in People Award (an independent UK recognition scheme) – which we really hope will show you our commitment to this.
