About the role
We’re looking for a Chief of Staff to partner closely with the Regional General Manager for Delivery in APAC, helping drive focus, alignment, and impact across a complex and fast-moving business. Sitting at the center of the leadership team, this role is a unique opportunity to work across strategy, operations, and team effectiveness—thought-partnering with leaders on critical topics and challenges, orchestrating how the leadership team operates, and ensuring priorities translate into action. It’s a high-impact role with broad exposure across markets and functions, ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys solving problems, and is equally comfortable thinking strategically and rolling up their sleeves to get things done.

- Action Orientation: Drive fast decision-making and ruthless follow-through across the organization, driving accountability to ensure decisions turn into execution.
Strategic Communications & Narrative
- Executive Voice & Comms: Shape and deliver clear, compelling communication on priorities, performance, and change initiatives on behalf of the RGM to a variety of audiences.
- Global Influence: Craft the strategic narratives required to influence global stakeholders and champion the needs of the APAC business.
Culture, Team Health & Regional Engagement
- Team Culture: Support the RGM in fostering a high-performing, collaborative leadership team culture and a strong culture across the broader organisation

- Regional Offsites: In collaboration with Strategy & Planning, EAs, and HRBPs, design and deliver offsites and engagement initiatives that balance strategy with team building. Travel across the region to facilitate sessions, align disparate teams, and strengthen leadership cohesion.
Special Projects
- Ambiguous Problem Solving: Lead select, high-priority, and often ambiguous projects that do not have a natural home.
- AI Acceleration: Directly accelerate and amplify AI impact within the leadership team and the broader organization.
