Here are the hot jobs in the digitising education sales sector

Course consultants and business development managers are expected to be in demand.

As Singapore’s education sector moves from traditional sales to digital-centric landscape, software and online education platforms are expected to gain ground whilst training courses and educational content will remain core products, according to recruitment firm Hays.

Driving the growth of this sector are sales personnel including course consultants, business development managers and directors, and sales executives with a strong track record within the industry, according to Grant Torrens, regional director at Hays Singapore.

“Furthermore, there is a growing trend of business-to-business transactions in the education space across Asia, and regional experience is required of sales persons to aid in the growth of market share for education providers headquartered in Singapore,” he said.

Hays Singapore added that employers in the education sector could learn from tech employers. “Most tech companies looking to provide competitive offer packages usually have in place a clear commission structure that may include up to six months of bonus,” said Grant.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
