## Description

## What You'll Do

As a Markets Strategy & Operations Manager, SEA, you will drive the production of key strategic documents, lead strategic work, and produce submissions into APAC and global planning cycles.

### Strategic Narrative & Planning

- Drive the production of SEA's key strategic documents: quarterly business reviews, market landscape summaries, annual planning submissions, and strategy papers - crisp, rigorous, and decision-ready

- Lead strategic work from framing the problem through analysis to a clear recommendation: business cases for SEA's strategic bets, scenario modelling, and decks and memos for local leads, and for carrying the region's agenda into senior leadership and global forums

- Produce SEA's submissions into APAC and global planning cycles

### Market & Competitive Intelligence

- Monitor competitive, consumer, and regulatory developments across SEA markets and maintain a full view of the industry

- Anticipate emerging consumer and creator trends, surface critical signals to the leadership team early, and build the insight base functions need to define strategy

### Business Planning & Budget

- Drive the annual budget build for SEA - scenario work, trade-off analysis, and the business-case layer behind resource decisions

- Partner with FP&A and functional leads to keep plans grounded in financial reality

### Operational Excellence & Collaboration

- Partner with your peer MSO Manager on the region's operating rhythm - business reviews, planning cadences, and performance tracking - contributing analytical depth to the operational agenda

- Support and execute strategic projects and cross-functional initiatives that don't fit neatly into any one function, stepping in alongside teams and driving alignment across Music, Podcast, Marketing, Growth, and Business Development

- Use AI tools as a force multiplier in analytical and document work - and help embed them into how the SEA team plans and operates

## Who You Are

- A minimum of 7 - 10+ years of experience in strategy consulting and/or in-house strategy roles, with exposure to Southeast Asian markets, ideally including media, consumer internet, or subscription businesses

- Outstanding analytical and modeling skills - you extract logic and meaningful conclusions from complex business problems, and build business cases that are rigorous and usable

- Excellent writing and visual communication - your memos and decks are decision-quality without editing: structured, persuasive, and instantly credible

- Just as comfortable building a market business case as fixing a broken planning process

- A self-starter and natural collaborator in flat, cross-functional organisations - you define the problem, structure the work, and drive to output with minimal direction

- Low ego, high drive - you measure your impact by the quality of the decisions you enable, not by who gets the credit

- Fluent with AI tools in analytical and writing workflows - you use them to move faster and think sharper

- Fluent in English; command of one or more regional languages is a plus

## Where You'll Be

- This role is based in Singapore

- We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in-person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home

- Please note that this role requires candidates to possess a valid right to work in Singapore. We are unable to provide work visa sponsorship for this position in accordance with Singapore's employment regulations.
