The CEO will translate the broader Zuhlke Group strategy into a clear and actionable regional growth agenda. · Translate Group strategy into an APAC-specific business plan, defining market priorities, growth opportunities and investment choices across the region. · Identify where the region has the greatest potential to grow and establish clear priorities for capturing those opportunities. · Define client segmentation, market focus and regional growth initiatives across Singapore and Hong Kong, and other markets within the region. · Assess the existing business model and identify opportunities to strengthen or evolve the organisation as it scales. 3. The CEO will have overall accountability for the commercial and sales strategy of the region. · Define and drive the regional commercial strategy, ensuring a clear link between market opportunities, sales priorities and the overall growth ambition. · Review the existing sales and commercial approach and refine, accelerate or redesign it where required. · Strengthen pipeline development, client acquisition and expansion of existing strategic relationships. · Build and maintain relationships with key clients and senior external stakeholders across the region. · Remain personally involved in strategically important commercial opportunities, including supporting the team in key client meetings and negotiations where senior sponsorship can make a difference. · Strengthen the organisation’s market positioning and oversee the local evolution of the brand and value proposition to better resonate with clients in individual markets. 4. The CEO will lead a diverse Regional Leadership Team. · Build a high-performing and collaborative Regional Leadership Team with shared accountability for the success of the region. · Coach and develop individual leaders, enabling them to take on greater responsibility as the business scales. · Establish clear expectations, accountability and a strong performance culture. · Take a hands-on approach to leadership, working alongside and supporting the team where required. 5. As the senior leader for the APAC region, the CEO will act as the key interface between the region and the wider Zuhlke Group. · Represent APAC within relevant Group governance and leadership forums. · Ensure regional strategy, investments and priorities remain aligned with the Group’s strategic and financial objectives. · Provide clear and transparent reporting on regional performance, commercial progress, opportunities and risks. · Ensure effective governance, decision-making and accountability across countries and functions.
