Sales Manager for SMB and Corporate segments in APAC, responsible for go-to-market strategy, sales team leadership, and revenue growth. The role involves partnering with various teams to drive pipeline generation and customer acquisition, with a focus on scaled, velocity-driven sales motions. It also requires influencing product evolution, particularly around AI-powered product adoption.

What you'd actually do

  1. Develop and execute a comprehensive multi-year strategy for revenue growth and market penetration across the SMB and Mid-Market/Corporate segments, tailored to the maturity and channel dynamics of each sub-region.
  2. Lead, inspire, and collaborate with sales and matrixed teams to operationalize a repeatable playbook that fuels pipeline velocity, forecasting accuracy, and deal rigour at scale.
  3. Hire, nurture, and develop top sales talent across a high-throughput sales organization, building clear career paths and succession plans in a segment known for developing future enterprise talent.
  4. Create strong feedback loops with the Product team to influence product evolution, particularly around self-serve to sales-assisted conversion and AI-powered product adoption (including Asana AI Teammates).
  5. Build and mature channel and partner motions where they materially extend coverage and pipeline generation across under-penetrated markets.
