Life at SEEK

SEEK’s purpose is at the centre of everything we do. Our SEEK, which defines the way we work, is all about what makes us unique and a little bit different. Passion, Team, Delivery and Future are our principles that drive innovation and creativity. SEEK strives to support employee wellbeing by providing an amazing experience at work which led us to being named AFR BOSS Top 10 Best Places to Work in Technology (2021-2025). We are proud to work in an environment that's inclusive where everyone's unique ideas, experiences and perspectives are valued.

As Senior Manager, Commercial Operations Excellence, you'll lead business-critical programs across APAC and Asia, spanning transformation, change management, productivity and business growth. You'll turn bold ideas into clear, actionable plans with real milestones and owners, then see them through. This role sits at the heart of how SEEK plans, executes and improves its commercial priorities across every market we operate in.

You will define what success looks like for each program and build the frameworks, hypotheses and roadmaps to get there. You will own project tracking end to end, spotting risks early and working fast to mitigate them before they derail delivery. You will partner closely with analysts to build the datasets, reports and insights that inform decisions on prioritisation, forecasting and performance.

You will prepare materials for steering committees and senior leadership forums, and lead stakeholder engagement across functions and markets. You will also design targeted experiments and pilots to test assumptions before scaling, turning results into playbooks other teams can reuse. Success in this role means country leaders trust you to translate regional strategy into local action, and senior stakeholders rely on your insight to make confident decisions.

• Own project tracking, flag risks early and drive mitigation plans.
• Partner with analysts to build datasets and reports that inform decisions.
• Prepare steering committee materials and present to senior leadership.
