Frustrated? Feeling Stuck? Think You Have to Move Overseas to take the next step?
Think Again.
You’ve put in the work. You’ve built a strong reputation in your global organisation, led high-performing teams, driven strategy, and delivered outstanding results. But now, you’re at a crossroads.
In your current company, career growth into a regional or global role seems out of reach, unless you’re willing to relocate. The big opportunities are in the US, Europe, or Asia, leaving you questioning: Do I really have to uproot my life and family just to grow my career?
Not so fast.

You’ll drive efficiency by optimizing IT services, managing vendor relationships, and ensuring strong partnerships with business leaders. Owning the APAC IT budget, you’ll make strategic resource decisions while ensuring compliance with governance frameworks and continuously improving IT processes.
