About Chun Tsubaki

Chun Tsubaki is a boutique creative production studio specialising in food, beverage, lifestyle, and hospitality brands.
We work with regional and international clients across Singapore and Bangkok, delivering photography, videography, and social-first content rooted in craft, clarity, and strong execution.

We're looking for a Business Development Manager (Client Accounts) to help grow the business while owning long-term client relationships end-to-end.

Role Overview

This is a BD-led role with client account ownership.

You will:

• Drive new business opportunities
• Manage and grow assigned client accounts
• Act as the bridge between clients and internal creative / production teams

This is not a pure sales role and not a pure account servicing role - it is designed for someone who values continuity, trust, and long-term partnerships.

Scope split (approx.):

• 70% Business Development
• 30% Account Management

Key Responsibilities

Business Development

• Identify and pursue new business opportunities (retainers, campaigns, ad-hoc projects)
• Pitch Chun Tsubaki's services to potential clients
• Prepare proposals, quotations, scopes, and usage discussions
• Build long-term client relationships rather than one-off sales
• Represent the company in client meetings and presentations

Client Account Management

• Own assigned client accounts post-onboarding
• Serve as the main point of contact for ongoing clients
• Manage timelines, expectations, and feedback flow
• Work closely with producers, creatives, and regional teams (SG & BKK)
• Ensure projects remain aligned with agreed scope, budget, and quality

Commercial & Internal Alignment

• Support invoicing, renewals, and retainer discussions
• Flag risks, scope creep, or misalignment early
• Maintain clean documentation and handover clarity internally

KPIs & Success Metrics

• New business revenue generated
• Retainer acquisition and renewal rate
• Client satisfaction & retention
• Quality of briefs and project handovers
• Ability to manage multiple client relationships smoothly

Requirements

• 2-5 years experience in business development, account management, or client servicing
• Background in creative agencies, production houses, marketing, or content studios is highly preferred
• Comfortable discussing budgets, scopes, timelines, and deliverables
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• Organised, proactive, and detail-oriented
• Able to manage multiple clients and priorities concurrently
• Fluent in English (spoken & written)

Nice to have

• Experience with food, lifestyle, hospitality, or FMCG brands
• Regional exposure (SEA / Bangkok projects)
• Understanding of photography, videography, or social media content workflows

What You'll Get

• Opportunity to grow with a fast-expanding creative studio
• Exposure to well-known regional and international brands
• Cross-border project experience (Singapore & Bangkok)
• A lean, collaborative, craft-driven environment
• Clear room for progression as the business scales
