  • Identify and explore high-potential investment opportunities in Southeast Asia, including equity investments, to maximize returns.
  • Ensure effective human resource allocation, guiding and mentoring your team to foster a culture of collaboration, excellence, and growth.
  • Uphold and ensure adherence to internal policies and international regulations, providing compliance guidance to your team.

What We're Looking For:

  • Extensive experience in overseas sales and BD operations, with a keen ability to spot and seize investment opportunities.
  • Deep understanding of pharmaceutical industry regulations, particularly in overseas product registration.
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Pharmacy, Medicine, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, with at least 5 years in a management role.
  • Strong communication, negotiation, and leadership skills to inspire and drive cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to thrive under pressure with fluency in both English and Mandarin.
