Head of M&A (Business Development)

Shape the Future of Malaysian Healthcare: Executive Leadership Role

We are one of Malaysia’s leading corporatised healthcare networks, and we are entering an aggressive phase of market expansion. We are seeking a visionary commercial leader to drive our national strategy, architect high-value partnerships, and shape the commercial landscape of primary care and private medical practice.

If you are a dynamic, results-driven dealmaker who thrives in complex corporate environments, we want you at the helm of our growth.

The Impact You Will Make

As our commercial anchor, you will not just follow the market—you will actively shape it. You will:

  • Drive National Expansion: Spearhead long-term business strategies, leading market expansion, service diversification, and revenue growth initiatives.

  • Execute High-Stakes Deals: Lead complex deal-making, including mergers and acquisitions (M&A), joint ventures, and strategic alliances within the healthcare sector.

  • Leverage Elite Networks: Utilize your established relationships with government agencies, regulators, hospital groups, and insurance providers to unlock massive business opportunities.

  • Command Financial Strategy: Take full ownership of financial forecasting, rigorous P&L management, and investment analysis to ensure operational sustainability.

  • Empower High-Performing Teams: Foster a culture of accountability and innovation by managing senior teams, HODs, and sales divisions.



Requirements

What You Bring to the Table

  • Extensive Leadership Tenure: A minimum of 15 years of experience in business development, strategy, or senior leadership, strictly within a corporatised healthcare setting.

  • Deep Ecosystem Fluency: A profound understanding of Malaysia's healthcare ecosystem, including public-private partnerships, regulatory frameworks, and healthcare financing models.

  • Commercial Acumen: Strong exposure to dealing with TPAs, corporate healthcare clients, and navigating complex corporate environments alongside executive teams, board members, and investors.

  • Educational Background: A Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, or Healthcare Management.

  • The "X-Factor": Holding a Master’s/MBA, or a Medical degree (MBBS, MD), will give you a significant advantage in bridging the gap between clinical operations and commercial success.
