Manager, Group Business Development & Strategic Partnerships - GrabMaps

Get to Know the Team

Grab's Group Business Development team is a centralized business development function responsible for initiating, developing, and executing the group's most intricate, impactful, and forward-thinking partnerships. The team is dedicated to fostering mutually beneficial collaborations with global corporate partners, aiming to enhance their business offerings and positively influence customer lives through Grab.

GrabMaps is Grab's emerging flagship B2B enterprise business. We are opening up our proprietary geolocation data and mapping technology to companies that need hyperlocal accuracy to power their own platforms. Drawing from Grab's unique experience navigating the complex, ever-changing terrains of Southeast Asia, GrabMaps provides the data, tools, and intelligence necessary for businesses to optimize operations and enhance discovery in the region's most challenging environments.

Get to Know the Role

You will play a vital role within the Group Business Development team to build GrabMaps' client pipeline and strategic partnerships, as well as developing and executing our Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy and initiatives.

You will be a crucial leader on the ground, managing internal and external relationships and projects which may be non-standard in nature, and/or have unique or broader implications to various cross-functional business verticals and product teams.

You are expected to take the lead in defining key target segments — ranging from logistics and e-commerce to ride-hailing and urban planning — drive deals end-to-end from commercial negotiation to closure, and maintain key relationships at senior levels of large corporate institutions. To perform this role well, you should have extensive experience in building a SaaS or DaaS (Data-as-a-Service) sales pipeline and developing GTM strategies for technical products.

This is a fully onsite role at Singapore's Grab One-North office. You will report to the Head of Maps Partnerships, Group Business Development & Strategic Partnerships Director.
