The Company

Our client is a modern survey programming company that helps consultants and investors get deep insights faster, so they can make great decisions. Our client is designed for authoring and launching time-critical market research surveys in record speeds so that their clients can quickly build N and have results sooner.

Our client's solution provides consultants and investors with access to quantitative survey insights on a daily basis. Their clients leverage their custom-built platform and survey engineering team to launch surveys, and gather insights, faster than their competition.

Our client's leadership team comes from the consulting and investment worlds, bringing a strong understanding of the challenges that come with conducting primary research on short timelines. This understanding informs the continued evolution of our client's solution to this day, an understanding that their team is ready and able to run through walls to help clients accomplish their goals. Our client's team is proud to be fully remote since their founding in 2016, with survey directors placed in over 40 cities worldwide.

The Role

Our client is hiring a proactive and detail-oriented Sales Assistant to support pipeline growth across APAC. This role sits at the top of the funnel, focusing on outbound prospecting, lead generation, and campaign execution. Unlike a closing-focused sales support role, this position is centered around identifying new target accounts, building prospect lists, and driving outbound initiatives that generate qualified opportunities.

You will report directly to the Regional President (APAC) and work closely with Sales, Marketing, and regional leadership to ensure coordinated and effective outreach efforts.

Responsibilities

1. Sales Desk Research & Lead Generation

• Research and identify new target companies/accounts across APAC (e.g., strategy consultancies, private equity firms).
• Identify and qualify relevant contacts within target accounts (decision-makers, project leads, CDD teams).
• Build and maintain accurate prospect lists and CRM records (HubSpot).
• Develop initial outreach “hooks” and messaging for campaigns.
• Help generate outbound opportunities through structured prospecting.

2. Outbound & Campaign Support

• Set up and manage outreach sequences (under senior leadership’s name).
• Prepare and support city visits (prospecting lists and pre-visit outreach sequences).
• Plan potential roadshows with Regional President / Team Leads / Survey Directors.
• Support execution of sales campaigns (e.g., LinkedIn outreach combined with email sequences).
• Coordinate client engagement initiatives (e.g., appreciation touches, holiday gifts).

3. Marketing Coordination

• Align with Marketing on merchandising and coordinate ordering for APAC.
• Act as the interface between Sales and Marketing (campaign lists, suppression lists).
• Keep track of current marketing campaigns and ensure sales campaigns do not overlap or conflict.

4. Event & Engagement Support

• Identify relevant sales events (conferences, SK-hosted events, lunch & learns, company events).
• Support preparation for sales-driven events.
• Keep track of clients who offered to help coordinate training sessions and follow up proactively (later driving autonomously).

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in any field. Degrees in quantitative disciplines (Mathematics, Economics, Finance, Accounting, Engineering, Computer Science, etc.) are a plus.
• Excellent English communication skills, both written and spoken.
• 1–2 years of experience in sales, business development, or outbound prospecting (junior profile).
• Experience building contact lists, prospecting, and outbound campaigns preferred.
• Background in market research, SaaS, or B2B sales support is advantageous.
• Comfortable working with CRM systems (HubSpot preferred).
• Proficient with LinkedIn for prospecting.
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Self-starter with a proactive mindset.

Benefits

What Success Looks Like (First 6 Months)

• High-quality prospect lists built and maintained
• Consistent outbound campaigns launched and managed effectively
• Strong CRM hygiene and accurate reporting
• Active support of city visits and regional sales initiatives
• Measurable contribution to top-of-funnel pipeline growth

Career Progression

This role offers a clear growth trajectory within Sales. Potential development path includes:

Sales Development Representative → Account Executive → Senior Account Executive

If you are proactive, structured, and excited about building pipeline in a fast-moving APAC environment, we would love to hear from you!
