  • Cross-Market Collaboration: Work closely with country teams to understand operational gaps, regulatory nuances, and operational processes to harmonize and scale capabilities globally.

  • Delivery & Quality: Partner with delivery and data teams to ensure timely, high-quality product releases. Maintain adherence to governance standards and manage change requests throughout the product lifecycle.

  • Customer-Centric Design: Ensure digital journeys are innovative, intuitive, and perfectly aligned with customer needs and expectations.

  • Stakeholder Engagement: Act as the primary bridge between business stakeholders and delivery teams, ensuring clear communication of technical requirements and strategic objectives.

Core Skills & Requirements:

  • Strong operational expertise, featuring hands-on knowledge of servicing workflows, risk controls, and regulatory environments across Asian markets.

  • Proven track record in leading digital transformation, capability leadership, and cross-market initiatives with measurable business outcomes.

  • Familiarity with CRM platforms and digital servicing tools.
