About Insightsoftware

insightsoftware is a global provider of connected solutions for the Office of the CFO. We believe an actionable business strategy begins and ends with accessible financial data. With solutions across financial planning and analysis (FP&A), accounting, and operations, we transform how teams operate — empowering leaders to make timely, informed decisions.

About The Role

This role will launch and build the BDR function in Singapore for the first time, shaping how pipeline is generated across Southeast Asia as part of a major APAC growth strategy.

Reporting to the VP, Global Business Development, you will build, lead, and inspire a high-performing team of Business Development Representatives (BDRs) across the region. You will initially lead a lean team of 3 BDRs, with plans to scale as the business grows.

You will lead a team focused on delivering solutions for the Office of the CFO, supporting enterprise customers with performance management, planning, and financial data insights.

Commercial Focus & Success Measures

The team operates in a predominantly new business environment, generating pipeline through outbound engagement while also identifying opportunities to expand within an existing customer base.
