Business Development Manager – Sponsorships & Partnerships

Messe Asia is looking for a Business Development Manager to lead sponsorship and corporate partnership sales for PrideShow, Thailand's Pink Economy platform and one of the region's fastest-growing LGBTQ+-inclusive business events. In this role, you will build and manage a pipeline of corporate partners — from SET-listed PLCs to international NGOs and mission-aligned SMEs — securing sponsorships across our tiered partnership program and our year-round digital directory. You'll own the full sales cycle: identifying and prospecting target accounts, crafting tailored partnership proposals backed by our ESG/PrideScore data, negotiating and closing sponsorship agreements, and ensuring sponsors see measurable ROI from their investment. This is a high-visibility role at the intersection of corporate partnerships, DEI, and event sales — ideal for someone equally comfortable in a boardroom pitch and a community activation. Experience in sponsorship sales, corporate partnerships, or B2B event sales is highly valued; passion for building an inclusive Pink Economy in Thailand is essential.
