Job Description

In this role, you will take charge of leading a team of Business Development Executives who are responsible for onboarding and growing merchants on ShopeeFood. Your focus will be on guiding your team to meet targets while ensuring they stay motivated, confident, and clear about their goals.

A big part of your day will involve coaching your team — helping them improve their sales approach, solve challenges, and close deals more effectively. You’ll monitor performance closely and step in wherever needed to keep things on track.

At the same time, you’ll also be actively involved in the field. Understanding the Johor Bahru market, identifying new opportunities, and connecting with local F&B businesses will be key to your success. You’ll work on building strong, long-term relationships with merchants so they not only join the platform but continue to grow with it.

You’ll collaborate with internal teams such as marketing, operations, and strategy to align on goals and execute campaigns that drive growth. Whether it’s planning promotions, analyzing competitors, or improving merchant engagement, your role will require both strategic thinking and practical execution.

Another important aspect of this role is problem-solving. Every market has its own challenges, and you’ll need to come up with solutions that work locally while still aligning with overall business objectives.

Overall, this role is perfect for someone who enjoys leading from the front, working closely with people, and making a visible impact in a fast-growing business.

About the Company Shopee

Shopee has become a familiar name across Malaysia, especially for people who prefer the convenience of shopping and ordering food right from their phones. Over the years, it has grown into more than just an e-commerce platform — it’s now part of everyday life for many Malaysians.

In Malaysia, Shopee focuses on making things simple, affordable, and accessible. From small local sellers to well-known brands, the platform gives businesses a chance to reach customers across the country. At the same time, services like ShopeeFood are helping local restaurants connect with more people and grow faster.

What really stands out is how closely Shopee understands the local market. Campaigns, offers, and even partnerships often reflect Malaysian culture and preferences, making the experience feel more personal rather than generic.

Behind the scenes, the company is driven by fast-moving teams who enjoy solving real problems and building something meaningful. It’s a place where ideas are welcomed, effort is recognized, and growth happens naturally — both for the business and the people working in it.
