What You'll Do

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 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
