Role Purpose
Rapsodo is seeking a commercially driven Digital & Business Development Manager to help shape our digital and marketplace growth on a global stage — spanning key markets across Asia, Europe, and beyond — based in our Kuala Lumpur office.
This role sits at the intersection of ecommerce execution and market development — owning performance across key platforms such as Amazon, Coupang, Shopee, Rakuten, and other regional channels, while also identifying and developing new commercial partnerships and channel opportunities in-market. You’ll balance the discipline of marketplace operations with the outward-facing instincts of business development, translating global strategy into local execution and surfacing new growth opportunities as you go.

Identify and evaluate new distribution, retail, and channel partnership opportunities across International Markets

Build and manage relationships with regional distributors, retailers, and marketplace account teams

3. Marketplace & Regional Strategy
•
Develop and execute strategies tailored to platforms such as Amazon, Coupang, Shopee, Rakuten, etc.
•
Collaborate cross-functionally to align marketplace plans with broader regional objectives

Translate global ecommerce and brand strategies into region-specific execution plans
•
Adapt promotions, content, and assortment based on local consumer behavior, competitive landscape, and platform dynamics
•
Ensure cultural and language relevance across all customer touchpoints
•
Balance global consistency with local optimization — knowing when to standardize vs. localize
•
Continuously test, learn, and iterate strategies by region to drive performance improvements
5. Operational Excellence
•
Maintain listing health, compliance, and account standing across all platforms
•
Proactively manage risks including suppression, delistings, and policy violations
