We’re working with a listed, profitable logistics and supply chain group that’s looking to appoint a Country Manager to set up and grow its South East Asia presence.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys building a business, making decisions, and working closely with senior leadership rather than operating through layers of hierarchy.

What makes this role interesting

• You’ll work directly with the Group Managing Director and wider leadership team, with real input into regional and group strategy
• The South East Asia platform is being built off the back of an established and profitable global business, with strong operations already in India and the Middle East
• There’s clear long-term progression as the company continues to expand internationally

What you’ll be doing

• Setting up and growing the South East Asia business, starting in Singapore
• Taking ownership of the commercial plan, operations, and overall performance
• Hiring and leading the local team as the platform grows
• Developing freight forwarding and logistics capabilities across air, ocean, road, and contract logistics
• Building relationships with customers, partners, and regional stakeholders
• Acting as the senior point of contact for the region within the wider group

What they’re looking for

• Senior experience in logistics, freight forwarding, or supply chain
• Someone who has built or scaled a country or regional operation before
• A commercially minded leader who’s comfortable rolling up their sleeves
• Strong understanding of South East Asia markets and trade lanes
