About the Role

Minitab is looking for a driven, high-energy Manufacturing Sales Executive to accelerate new business growth across the Chinese market. This is a true hunter role, focused exclusively on winning new logos within the mid-market segment, particularly across the manufacturing industry.

Based in Hong Kong, you’ll work with a high degree of autonomy, owning your territory end-to-end — from prospecting and discovery through to close. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on opening doors, building pipelines from scratch, and closing complex, consultative sales in a competitive environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Own and execute a new business sales strategy for the mid-market segment across the Chinese market

  • Identify, qualify, and close net-new customer opportunities 

  • Proactively prospect and engage senior stakeholders within manufacturing organisations, understanding their business challenges and positioning Minitab as a strategic solution

  • Lead the full sales cycle, including discovery, solution positioning, product demonstrations, negotiation, and closing

  • Build and manage a strong pipeline of new logo opportunities, maintaining accurate forecasting and CRM hygiene

  • Work closely with internal pre-sales, marketing, and services teams in a virtual team-selling environment

  • Gather and share competitive and market intelligence to continuously sharpen positioning within the territory

  • Represent Minitab at customer meetings, industry events, and partner engagements across the region

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven hunter mentality — proactive, self-starting, and motivated by winning new business

  • Strong experience selling B2B software or technology solutions into the manufacturing industry

  • Ability to work independently, manage your own territory, and prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment

  • Comfortable with frequent travel (up to 60%) across the region

  • Confident engaging with executive, technical, and business stakeholders

  • Consultative selling approach with strong negotiation and closing skills

Language Requirements

  • Fluent Mandarin (native or business-native level)

  • Excellent English communication skills (written and verbal)

Experience & Background

  • 3+ years of successful B2B sales experience, ideally in technology, analytics, or enterprise software.

  • Track record of consistently achieving or exceeding sales targets (100%+ of quota)

  • Experience managing mid-market accounts and closing deals.

  • Exposure to business intelligence, analytics, or statistical software is a plus

Why Join Minitab?

  • High-impact role with clear ownership of new business growth

  • Opportunity to build and shape a key market for the business

  • Collaborative, international sales environment with strong enablement and support

  • Competitive compensation and career growth opportunities within a global organisation
