What do you call a person who intentionally malign someon'e image in front of others?
I have faced such situation twice or thrice in my Uni. and work life. Due to competition your peer or ill-wisher tries to you put in dark light intentionally. So, it gives wrong impression of you to other people. If your ill-wisher succeed, then your image in spoiled in front of others without you actually doing any wrong.
So, what you call a person who spoils your image or malign your image in public.
For example, He is a ____. He spoiled my image in my office.
In real, he did not spoiled my image, but he tried and my co-workers supported me. One more thing, I use to use ill-wisher until now but I feel I need one perfect word. Using ill-wisher sounds stupid.

I think it is a detractor:
someone who criticizes something or someone, often unfairly:
// His detractors claim that his fierce temper makes him unsuitable for leadership.
(https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/detractor)
According to Oxford English Dictionary
(https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/detractor):
detractor
NOUN
A person who disparages someone or something.
There's a list of synonyms:
critic, disparager, denigrator, deprecator, belittler, attacker, censurer, fault-finder, carper, backbiter, caviller, reviler, vilifier, slanderer, libeller, calumniator, defamer, traducer

The richness of English for approximate synonyms suggests that you are far from being alone in having been upset by a:
vilifier, traducer, disparager, denigrator, panner, defamer, knocker, and maligner!
Most of those synonyms imply an element of untruth (libel, slander) so they may not quite express the meaning you seek.
