Job Description

Kuala Lumpur | Aavii Worldwide

We don't sell events.

We win trust.

Then we create experiences that people remember for the rest of their lives.

If your happiest moment is hearing...
"Congratulations, you've won the pitch."

...followed immediately by...

"Now let's create something extraordinary."

...keep reading.

This role is for someone who loves the chase.

Not the aggressive, pushy kind.

The kind who enjoys understanding clients better than they understand themselves.

Someone who can walk into a boardroom on Monday, brainstorm with creatives on Tuesday, negotiate with suppliers on Wednesday, pitch a Fortune 500 company on Thursday, and still smile while solving a last minute crisis on Friday.

If that sounds exhausting... ...this probably isn't your job.

If it sounds exciting......we should meet.

You'll be responsible for

• Winning new & servicing existing corporate clients across Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events.
• Leading high value proposals and presentations.
• Turning complicated client briefs into practical, profitable solutions.
• Working closely with Creative, Operations and Production to build unforgettable experiences.
• Preparing detailed quotations for regional and multinational projects.
• Managing relationships long after the contract is signed because repeat business is the best compliment.
• Representing Aavii with confidence, warmth and professionalism.
• Working directly with our Chief Commercial Officer, while collaborating closely with our leadership team.

Job Requirements

We're probably looking for you if...

• You have at least 6-8 years in corporate travel, MICE, events or hospitality sales.
• You genuinely enjoy pitching.
• You don't panic when the event has 15 countries, four languages, six venues and 700 moving parts.
• You understand costing, margins and commercial negotiations.
• You can write proposals that clients actually enjoy reading.
• You think creatively without forgetting budgets.
• You communicate exceptionally well in English. Mandarin is a bonus.
• You are naturally curious.
• You build trust quickly.
• People simply like working with you.

You'll thrive here if you are...

• Service obsessed.
• Commercially sharp.
• Creative under pressure.
• Highly organised.
• Comfortable with ambiguity.
• A problem solver instead of a problem reporter.
• Resilient after losing pitches.
• Humble after winning them.
• The type who asks,
  "How can we make them feel?"
• ...before asking,
  "How much is the budget?" 

Bonus points if...

• You've worked with pharmaceutical, financial services, automotive, oil & gas or technology clients.
• You've managed regional events across Asia Pacific.
• You enjoy presenting in front of senior executives.
• You secretly love Excel almost as much as PowerPoint.
• You know that the best events aren't built by one superstar.
• They're built by remarkable teams.

Life at Aavii

We don't believe culture is free coffee.

Our culture is built around CECETZ.

• Customer Experience because relationships always come first.
• Execution Excellence because average is forgettable.
• Creativity because ordinary never changes industries.
• ESG because it’s a thing now! 
• Tech because every great proposal has some form of tech incorporated.
• Not afraid to work with Gen Z because life's too short and they are the future.

If those six pillars sound like the way you already live... You'll probably feel at home.

One final question.

When a client remembers an event five years later...

...what do you hope they remember?

The LED wall?

Or how you made them feel?

If your answer is the second one, we'd love to hear your story.
