Head of Marketing APAC, Sydney (AU)

Join a highly successful, privately owned global organisation with a strong international presence and an ambitious growth agenda. With a high-performance culture and a strong focus on innovation, collaboration and attracting exceptional talent, this is an opportunity to play a leading role in strengthening the employer brand across a strategically important and rapidly developing APAC region.

We are seeking an experienced Head of Marketing APAC to shape and grow the organisation’s employer brand across Australia and Asia. This is a senior, hands-on leadership role combining regional strategy with execution, translating global brand strategy and flagship initiatives into locally relevant campaigns across entry and experienced hiring, while bringing regional insight back into the global agenda. The position will lead a small regional team, while working closely with recruitment, HR, global marketing and external creative partners. The role will oversee campaigns, content, events, sponsorships and paid media, build credibility with new talent audiences and help evolve the proposition in markets where the organisation is less established.

We are looking for an employer brand or marketing professional with around 10 years’ experience, ideally gained within a high-growth and technically complex environment, with highly astute stakeholders. International experience, particularly across Asia, would be advantageous. You will be curious, people-focused and highly delivery-oriented, with the ability to understand a complex business and translate it into compelling marketing propositions for exceptional talent. You will be comfortable operating with ambiguity, building relationships, challenging constructively and taking an undefined opportunity through to a high-quality outcome, with a genuine hunger to understand the business and a low-ego approach to getting things done.

A rare opportunity to take ownership of an APAC employer-brand agenda within a high-growth global organisation, building on a strong existing employer brand proposition in Australia while helping establish a much stronger presence across Asia. You will have genuine scope to build the regional capability, shape new talent markets, work closely with global marketing and contribute insights from APAC back into the wider organisation.

This is a role where the brief will not always be perfectly defined and priorities can evolve quickly, so the successful candidate will need to be comfortable creating structure, building relationships and driving outcomes without waiting for direction. You will need to balance global strategy with local relevance, strategic thinking with hands-on delivery, and the demands of an established market in Australia with the significant brand-building opportunity across Asia.
