• Leadership experience: Proven track record leading a successful BDM or sales team (automotive).
• Core skills: Excellent communication, sharp organization, obsessive attention to detail.
• Mindset: Curious about AI and automotive—you don't need to code, but you must love learning.
• Location: Based in Kuala Lumpur, ready to work in a fast-paced hybrid environment.
