Business Development Manager - Data Center Infrastructure

About the role

An international manufacturer of electrical power distribution solutions is expanding into the fast-growing data center market and is looking for a commercially minded Business Development Manager based in Singapore with a regional scope covering Southeast Asia and APAC. This is not a traditional sales role: the focus is on understanding the data center ecosystem, spotting opportunities early in the project lifecycle, building industry relationships and shaping market strategy, rather than chasing monthly sales targets.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and execute market growth strategies within the data center sector.
• Identify upcoming projects and monitor market activity across Singapore and Southeast Asia.
• Build relationships with developers, hyperscalers, colocation operators, consultants, EPCs and other key stakeholders.
• Engage consultants and end-users early to support product specification and market adoption.
• Gather competitive intelligence, customer insights and industry trends to support business planning.
• Represent the company at industry events, conferences and networking activities.
• Collaborate with regional leadership, engineering and commercial teams to support business growth.

Required profile

• Experience in business development, strategic accounts, market development or industry engagement.
• Strong understanding of the data center market and project lifecycle.
• Established network across consultants, developers, contractors, operators or technology vendors.
• Background in electrical infrastructure, critical power, power distribution, switchgear, busduct/busway systems, UPS or related solutions is highly advantageous.
• Ability to engage senior stakeholders and influence opportunities early in the project cycle.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to build and develop new markets.

Ideally, applicants come from data center infrastructure vendors, critical power and electrical equipment manufacturers, M&E contractors and EPCs, engineering consultancies, data center developers and operators, or mission-critical infrastructure businesses.
