The Product Discovery and Promotion (PDP) organization is seeking a strategic, systems-minded Senior Business Operations Manager to join our APAC leadership team. This role will partner closely with the APAC leadership team to accelerate key business goals and function as the connective tissue between strategy and execution  - by assessing and implementing smart, effective, and impact-driven systems that reduce friction, align priorities, and help our multidisciplinary team make better decisions, faster. 

This role will have a dual reporting line- to the Senior Director of PDP APAC and the Director of BizOps and Program Management. 

You will:

• Architect and drive the operating rhythm of PDP APAC — designing business beats (e.g. annual planning, quarterly business reviews, title prioritization) that are aligned with global (PDP/ Product) and regional milestones.

• Drive the development of business review memos and reporting — lead the end-to-end process by gathering inputs which are reflective of the key themes, risks, and opportunities emerging from the APAC business  from the regional leadership team, Finance & Strategy and other stakeholders.  

• Design and deliver solutions that address business operations gaps and needs for PDP APAC  (e.g. planning processes, communication and stakeholder engagement frameworks, change and business transformation management, leadership engagement model on key cross-PDP initiatives). 

• Partner with the APAC PDP leadership team to identity, prioritize and drive strategic priorities  —

  • Connect the dots across local-regional-global business goals / context.

  • Lead or support complex cross-PDP initiatives that span multiple functions or markets from kickoff through implementation by ensuring alignment, momentum, and follow-through. This includes responsibility for intake, and influencing prioritization and resourcing across multiple business units which have adjacent roadmaps and projects.  

• Collaborate across local, regional and global—  partnership with Finance & Strategy teams  and Global Business Operations Community — to ensure cohesion across priorities, timelines, and deliverables and fluid sharing & gathering of context.

• Represent APAC within the global BizOps community — contributing to cross-regional initiatives, sharing learnings, and bringing global best practices back into the region.

• Help shape leadership team effectiveness — facilitating strategic clarity, alignment, managing team cadences, and enabling high-quality decision-making and collaboration.

• Build and maintain dashboards and reporting mechanisms that track progress against key business metrics and drive visibility and accountability across goals and initiatives.

Qualifications:

• 8–10+ years in strategic business operations, organizational effectiveness, program management, consulting or Chief of Staff–style roles in fast-moving, matrixed global organizations.

• Experience partnering closely with senior leadership to translate strategy into operating models and scalable processes.
  A strong systems thinker who simplifies complexity and brings structure without bureaucracy.

• Culturally attuned and experienced working across geographies in APAC (or globally).

• Clear, concise and timely communicator — excellence in writing strategy documents, leading discussions, and aligning diverse stakeholders.

• Strong judgment and decisiveness - you listen deeply, read the room well, and operate with tact and empathy across teams and cultures. You know when to push, when to pause, and how to surface what's unsaid to move the organization forward.
