Hire the best Account Executive in Manila

How to hire an account executive in Manila

Employers who hire an account executive in Manila draw on the country's largest commercial hub, where Makati, Bonifacio Global City and Ortigas Center all compete for sellers. Many candidates already sell to overseas buyers, so the real filters are shift fit, incentive structure and how comfortable they are with demanding quotas.

Where the talent is

• Makati CBD holds banks, insurers, professional services firms and regional headquarters hiring corporate sellers.
• Bonifacio Global City concentrates technology, outsourcing and multinational sellers in newer office towers.
• Ortigas Center carries a mix of corporate, property and shared services sellers.
• Alabang and Quezon City supply a large share of shared-services and outsourcing sellers.
• The University of the Philippines Diliman, Ateneo and De La Salle feed business graduates into entry-level roles.

Who's hiring account executives in Manila

Software vendors, outsourcing providers, banks, property developers and consumer brands hire sellers across Metro Manila. Competition is strongest for sellers who can run enterprise discovery for US or Australian buyers and sit in structured teams with clear incentive plans.

What makes Manila different

Compared with the wider Philippines, Manila is the one place where multinational and shared-services employers all recruit at once, so pay moves faster and candidates are used to multiple offers. Regional centres offer slower pay growth, but Manila is where specialised enterprise sellers are most likely to be found.

Sourcing channels that work in Manila

• LinkedIn for experienced sellers in Makati and Bonifacio Global City.
• JobStreet Philippines, Kalibrr and Indeed for active candidates.
• University career offices at UP Diliman, Ateneo and De La Salle for graduates.
• Referrals from current sellers in outsourcing and technology teams.

How Whitecarrot helps you hire account executives in Manila
