Hire the best Acquisition Manager in Manila

How to hire an acquisition manager in Manila

To hire an acquisition manager in Manila, expect a crowded, fast-moving market where almost every sector has a sales or acquisition team to lead. Makati, Bonifacio Global City and Ortigas Center hold the corporate and fintech headcount, while Alabang and Quezon City carry large shared-services operations. Thirty-day notice periods keep timelines short, so the real work is deciding which of the many similar-looking profiles can actually own a number and a team.

Where the talent is

• Makati CBD: banks, insurers, corporate-services firms and regional offices, with the most experienced commercial managers.
• Bonifacio Global City: multinational regional offices, fintechs and property developers, with managers used to cross-border reporting lines.
• Ortigas Center: corporate headquarters, financial institutions and developers across a wide mix of industries.
• Alabang and Quezon City: shared-services and outsourcing campuses, where managers lead large teams against strict targets.

Who's hiring acquisition managers in Manila

Digital banks and e-wallet fintechs, property developers marketing to local and overseas Filipino buyers, insurers, outsourcing providers and the Philippine offices of regional firms all hire acquisition managers in Manila. Because the labour pool is large, the visible number of applicants says little about quality. The scarce profile is a manager who has built a team from a small base, kept attrition under control and still hit a number, and these people tend to be approached directly rather than apply.

What makes Manila different

Manila is a high-volume market with domestic-first hiring, so there is usually no work visa step and offers can move quickly. Compared with Singapore, where an Employment Pass and longer notice periods slow the calendar, Manila trades speed and depth for a narrower senior bench. Many employers use Manila managers for regional mandates, and candidates weigh incentive structure, 13th month and shift expectations as carefully as base pay.

Sourcing channels that work in Manila

• LinkedIn for managers at banks, developers and outsourcing firms in Makati and BGC.
• JobStreet and Kalibrr for active applicants, with strict screening on the first pass.
• Alumni networks of Ateneo de Manila, De La Salle University and the University of the Philippines.
• Referrals from sellers on your own team and from partners in the property and fintech communities.
