Job Description

MISSION :

Responsible for building and growing Coface's Debt Collection business in Hong Kong. The role is a hands-on individual-contributor hunter position focused on developing the market from the ground up, originating and closing new mandates, and creating cross-selling opportunities with Credit Insurance, Business Information and other Coface solutions.

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES:

Develop and execute the country go-to-market plan for Debt Collection in Hong Kong, including priority segments, target accounts, channels and commercial actions.
Act as a hunter: proactively identify, approach and convert new clients rather than relying primarily on an inherited portfolio or inbound opportunities.
Build a qualified pipeline through direct prospecting, referrals, networking, events and partnerships with brokers, banks, financial institutions, law firms, trade associations and other relevant intermediaries.
Manage the full sales cycle from lead generation and needs analysis through proposal, negotiation, contracting and handover for onboarding.
Work closely with Credit Insurance, Business Information and other commercial teams to identify and convert cross-selling opportunities within Coface's existing client base.
Translate client needs into commercially sound Debt Collection solutions in cooperation with local, regional and international operations, legal, compliance and finance stakeholders.
Build trusted relationships with CFOs, Finance Directors, Credit Managers, business owners and other senior decision-makers.
Maintain accurate pipeline, activity and forecast information in the relevant CRM and provide regular reporting on market development and results.
Represent Coface as the local Debt Collection commercial ambassador and contribute market intelligence, competitor insights and client feedback.
Ensure that all commercial activities comply with applicable laws, regulations, internal policies and Coface standards.

COUNTRY MARKET EMPHASIS

Prioritise regional headquarters, trading companies, financial institutions and multinational corporations based in Hong Kong.
Develop cross-border opportunities linked to Greater China and Hong Kong's role as a regional business hub.
Build referral relationships with brokers, banks, legal firms, chambers of commerce and relevant professional networks

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Debt Collection revenue, collection volume and profitability against agreed targets.
Qualified pipeline created and conversion rate.
Cross-selling opportunities generated and converted with other Coface business lines.

Entrepreneurial ownership and accountability.
Client focus and commercial curiosity.
Collaboration across products, countries and functions.
Integrity, sound judgement and respect for compliance requirements.
Persistence and comfort with ambiguity.

Qualifications

Minimum 3-5 years of relevant B2B sales or business development experience
Proven track record of prospecting, originating and closing new B2B business.
Experience in Debt Collection, credit management, Trade Credit Insurance, banking, financial services, legal services or another relevant B2B solution environment is preferred.
Entrepreneurial mindset and willingness to establish a new business activity with limited initial structure.
Self-starter who is resilient, pragmatic and comfortable working independently while actively leveraging regional and global support.
Strong consultative selling, negotiation, presentation and stakeholder-management skills.
Commercial judgement and ability to balance growth, client value, operational feasibility, compliance and profitability.
