Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve developing tailored strategies for each territory while working hand-in-hand with global teams. You will be instrumental in forecasting revenues, formulating pricing models, launching new titles on digital platforms, and executing promotional campaigns that resonate with local audiences. Success in this role requires building trusted relationships with both internal stakeholders and external partners. Your ability to analyse market trends, adapt strategies quickly, manage complex schedules, negotiate effectively, and deliver results under tight deadlines will set you apart. This is an exciting opportunity to immerse yourself in the fast-evolving world of home entertainment distribution while making meaningful contributions that drive business growth.

• Develop and implement comprehensive strategies tailored to individual territories within the Asia-Pacific region, ensuring alignment with overarching business objectives.

• Drive the end-to-end process of acquiring new clients by identifying untapped business opportunities and nurturing relationships for sustained revenue growth.

What you bring:

To excel as an Account Manager in this prestigious entertainment company’s Singapore office, you will bring proven expertise in managing complex client portfolios within international markets—preferably gained from roles involving film studios, digital stores or similar environments. Your background should reflect not only technical proficiency but also a genuine passion for the evolving landscape of home entertainment. You are adept at navigating cultural nuances across APAC territories while remaining responsive to shifting priorities from global headquarters.

Your interpersonal strengths enable you to collaborate seamlessly with colleagues from diverse backgrounds; your organisational skills ensure nothing falls through the cracks even during peak periods; your communication style is clear yet engaging whether presenting insights or negotiating deals. Above all else, your commitment to delivering value—through careful analysis of data trends or creative problem-solving—will help sustain long-term partnerships that benefit both clients and consumers alike.

• Demonstrated experience in account management or business development within an international context—ideally related to media distribution or entertainment programming—with a strong analytical orientation.
• Proven track record of building and maintaining key customer relationships across multiple territories or regions.
• Familiarity with major digital platforms (such as Pay Per View or Video On Demand) as well as an understanding of local market dynamics within Asia-Pacific.
• Agility in managing work hours across different time zones to facilitate effective communication with global teams based in other locations.
• Outstanding interpersonal skills that foster trust-based partnerships both internally among cross-functional teams and externally with clients.
• Highly organised approach enabling you to deliver quality outcomes under pressure while balancing multiple competing deadlines.
• Well-developed influencing abilities complemented by persuasive negotiation skills that help secure optimal commercial terms for all parties involved.
• Excellent written, verbal, and visual communication skills suitable for preparing presentations or conducting business reviews at various organisational levels.
