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
