The BDM will build a robust, well-qualified pipeline, convert it to signed contracts, and grow LRQA's footprint with new and existing clients across the Malaysia market.

equivalent industry experience will be considered.\nWhat Success Looks Like in the First 6 Months\nFully ramped pipeline meeting the 3x coverage threshold, built from active prospecting rather than inherited renewals.\nFirst new-logo wins closed within Q1.\nClean CRM with accurate forecasting demonstrated over at least two consecutive months.\nAt least one cross-sell win (multi-standard, GHG verification, or Inspection) demonstrating portfolio-wide selling.\nWho are LRQA?\nLRQA is a leading global assurance partner, combining deep industry expertise with innovative solutions to help organizations manage risk, improve performance, and drive sustainable growth.\nOperating in over 50 countries with a team of 2,500+ professionals, we support more than 60,000 clients worldwide through assurance, certification, cybersecurity, inspection, and training services.
