The Group Strategy team always works with a mandate from the Executive Committee and covers all B2B, B2C, and B2G solutions.

As a Senior Director you are also responsible for managing and building the Singapore Group Strategy department, e.g. by leading people development, recruitment or shaping the department’s training agenda.
