Lead the next chapter of customer experience transformation across APAC

At Lineage, we're creating something different.

Over the past two years, we've started the journey to transform traditional site-based customer service functions into a modern, integrated Customer Care model to support operations across Australia and is expanding throughout Asia Pacific.

We've launched a program to centralise customer service, order management, customer enquiries, onboarding, invoicing support and key customer-facing processes into a consolidated model supported by Salesforce Service Cloud, measurable customer outcomes and a growing Centre of Excellence.

Now we're looking for a visionary leader to take the function to its next stage of evolution.

This is a rare opportunity to inherit a customer care function to continue to deliver meaningful transformation and help define what best-in-class customer care looks like across one of the world's largest temperature-controlled logistics networks.

About The Opportunity

Reporting to the Vice President, Business Development - APAC, you'll be responsible for developing and implementing the regional Customer Care strategy, ensuring the function continues to scale efficiently while delivering exceptional customer outcomes.

You'll guide six regional customer care hubs across five countries and work closely with Operations, Business Development, Finance, Technology and Executive Leadership to support consistency, capability and continuous improvement across the customer journey.

This role is as much about business transformation as it is customer service leadership.

• Ensure consistent customer experiences across all markets under a "One Team, One Standard, One Customer Experience" philosophy.

• Develop and manage budgets, business cases and investment priorities to support future growth.
