Business Development Associate

ABOUT CINCH:

Reimagine access. Reimagine ownership. Build the future with Cinch.

Cinch is Southeast Asia's leading circular tech subscription company, redefining how people and businesses access technology. Instead of adding to the growing e-waste crisis, we enable affordable, sustainable access to devices through subscriptions that maximize reuse and extend their lifecycle. We operate across B2C, B2B, and B2B2C channels, including major partnerships with global leaders like Samsung. Our model sits at the intersection of powerful mega trends — sustainability, embedded finance, and the shift from ownership to access — creating a massive opportunity to reshape the future of tech consumption. At Cinch, we are builders with high standards, a bias for action, and a shared mission to create a generational company that outlasts us. Freshly funded by leading institutional investors and growing rapidly, we're creating an environment where ambitious people can do the best work of their careers — and where the work has real, lasting impact.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

As we expand our regional presence and gear up for the next phase of growth, we're looking for a Strategy & Business Development Associate based in Malaysia. This role blends strategic storytelling with commercial hustle: you'll follow up with partners and leads on the ground, support B2C activations and weekend initiatives, and still bring the polish and professionalism to produce high-quality presentations that move the needle with stakeholders.

• Represent Cinch in external meetings, networking events, and partnership discussions.
• Contribute to building and maintaining strong relationships with local stakeholders, including gyms, corporates, and ecosystem partners.

Support B2C Activations & Initiatives

• Assist in planning and executing B2C activations, including weekend initiatives, fitness events, and on-the-ground campaigns.
• Coordinate logistics and ensure smooth execution of consumer-facing programs.
• Gather feedback and insights from activations to inform future campaigns and product positioning.

About You

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to maintain professionalism in corporate environments.
• Comfortable engaging with partners, prospects, and consumers in a variety of settings.
• Highly detail-oriented, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities.

You'll Thrive If You

• Enjoy blending strategy with execution—whether it's pitching a partner or running a consumer activation.
• Can switch seamlessly between B2B polish and on-the-ground B2C energy.
• Take initiative and are comfortable working independently while being a strong team collaborator.
• Are excited to be part of a fast-growing company and work directly with founders and senior leaders.
