About AesirX.io

AesirX.io builds privacy-preserving, first-party consent and analytics technology. Our stack today:

• AesirX CMP - consent-before-tracking that actually complies with GDPR, ePrivacy, PDPD/PDPL and regional privacy laws.
• AesirX Analytics & First-Party Server - privacy-safe analytics and data infrastructure that let organizations run marketing and personalization without handing user data to surveillance capitalism or adding unnecessary third-party processors.

We are now building a Vietnam-optimized GRC & privacy suite that will give enterprises a complete toolkit for:

• PDPD / PDPL compliance and Vietnam’s Data Law
• Cookie & tracking governance
• DSAR / DSR workflows and audit-ready evidence
• Data mapping & RoPA-style registers
• Vendor & cross-border governance

We are already working with partners in Vietnam on this suite and expect the first market-ready version around March 2026.

To lead this rollout, we’re hiring our Country Manager for Vietnam.

The Role: Country Manager - Vietnam

You will own the commercial deployment of AesirX in Vietnam - starting with our privacy stack (CMP + Analytics + First-Party data infrastructure) and then leading the launch and adoption of the new GRC suite.

This is a builder role for someone who wants to be the person remembered as

“The one who made privacy & GRC compliance actually work for Vietnamese enterprises.”

You will work directly with the Founder/CEO and our product team, and be responsible for:

• Building and closing a pipeline of VN customers (enterprise & upper mid-market)
• Developing a partner ecosystem in Vietnam (agencies, legal/compliance firms, system integrators, hosting providers, associations)
• Turning AesirX into a recognized brand for PDPD/PDPL-ready privacy & GRC in Vietnam

What You’ll Do

1. Build and own the Vietnam GTM plan

• Localize AesirX’s value proposition for Vietnamese enterprises (C-level, marketing, IT, legal & compliance).
• Define quarterly goals for:
  • New customers (licenses / implementations)
  • New partners signed and activated
  • Revenue from Vietnam
• Shape the launch of the Vietnam GRC suite (positioning, pricing, packaging, pilot customers).

2. Direct sales to key accounts

• Identify and prioritize target segments (e.g. finance, e-commerce, media, education, healthcare, public sector, large B2C brands).
• Run the full sales cycle:
  • Outreach / intro
  • Discovery & requirement mapping
  • Product demos with AesirX team
  • Commercial proposals, negotiation and closing
• Turn early adopters into case studies and reference accounts.

3. Build the partner channel in Vietnam

• Map and approach:
  • Digital & web agencies
  • Legal / compliance / privacy consultancies
  • System integrators & managed service providers
  • Hosting & cloud providers, local platforms
• Co-create partner offers (e.g. “PDPL compliance starter”, “Privacy review + CMP + Analytics deployment”).
• Run joint webinars, events and workshops with partners.
• Track partner performance and help them package, price and resell AesirX.

4. Lead the March launch of the VN GRC Suite

• Work with the AesirX product team to:
  • Prioritize features that Vietnamese enterprises and DPOs actually need.
  • Validate workflows with pilot customers and partners.
• Prepare and execute the GTM play:
  • Shortlist pilot customers & partners.
  • Organize launch events / webinars / trainings.
  • Gather feedback and feed it straight back into the product roadmap.

5. Be AesirX’s voice in Vietnam

• Represent AesirX at local events, roundtables and industry groups.
• Help create and localize thought-leadership content around PDPD/PDPL, Data Law, cookies & tracking, and practical compliance.
• Maintain strong relationships with key customers, partners and (where relevant) regulators/industry associations.

What Success Looks Like (First 12 Months)

By mid-March 2026

• Clear GTM plan for Vietnam agreed and in motion.
• First pilot customers and partners identified and in active dialogue.

By end of Month 6

• Several VN enterprises live with AesirX CMP/Analytics and/or GRC components.
• 5 - 10 active partners (agencies/consultancies/SIs/hosts) with real opportunities or implementations in progress.
• Recognized presence in at least one key vertical (e.g. finance or e-commerce).

By end of Year 1

• Vietnam contributing a meaningful share of new licenses and project revenue.
• Established, predictable sales & partner pipeline with clear KPIs.
• AesirX recognized among VN enterprises as a serious option for PDPD/PDPL compliance and privacy-first data infrastructure.

Who You Are

You don’t have to tick every box, but most of these should sound like you:

Experience & Background

• 7+ years in B2B sales / business development / partnerships in Vietnam.
• Experience selling software, digital solutions, cyber/IT services or compliance/consulting to enterprise and mid-market.
• Strong existing network with at least one of:
  • Digital / web / e-commerce agencies
  • Legal / compliance / consulting firms
  • IT/SI/managed service providers
  • Enterprise decision makers (C-suite, IT, marketing, compliance)
• Experience building a partner channel (resellers, agencies, distributors) is a big plus.

Skills & Mindset

• You are a builder, not just a manager:
  • Comfortable doing outreach, running meetings, and closing deals yourself in the beginning.
  • Happy to iterate on pitch decks, offers and playbooks until they convert.
• Commercial and analytical:
  • Can talk revenue, margins, quotas and pipeline health.
  • Comfortable working with KPIs and reporting weekly progress.
• Curious about privacy, PDPD/PDPL and data law:
  • You don’t need to be a lawyer, but you’re eager to understand why cookie banners, tracking and cross-border data transfers matter.
• Strong communicator:
  • Fluent Vietnamese and English (written and spoken).
  • Able to explain technical topics in simple business language.

Personal Fit

• You like working closely with product & technical founders.
• You’re comfortable with early-stage uncertainty and “figuring it out on the fly”.
• You’re motivated by ownership - you want to look back in 3 - 5 years and say:
  “I was the one who built AesirX in Vietnam.”

Compensation & Structure

This is a high-ownership, entrepreneurial role.

• Commission-based:
  • Competitive commission structure on licenses, subscriptions and services from Vietnam (to be agreed together).
• Sweat Equity:
  • 1% equity in AesirX.io Ltd (stock options with vesting), reflecting the Country Manager’s long-term ownership and contribution.
• Future base salary:
  • We expect to introduce a base salary component once revenue from Vietnam reaches agreed milestones (or after a future funding round), while commissions and vesting continue.

If you need a high fixed salary from day one, this role is probably not the right fit.
If you want meaningful upside, can see yourself as a partner and are ready to build something big from the ground up, it might be.
