And through our countless volunteer projects, we help bring out the best in our communities as around us, too. You can do amazing work here. It's up to you to make it happen.

The Managing Director, Advertising — APAC will lead Bloomberg Media’s commercial business across Asia Pacific, with responsibility for revenue growth, client relationships and, most importantly, building a high-performing sales organization.

The successful candidate will be a leader in service of their team — creating clarity, developing people, recruiting exceptional talent and giving the organization the confidence and support to perform at its best.

We'll trust you to:

• Drive sustainable revenue growth across APAC, increasing Bloomberg’s share of business and finance media investment

• Build an exceptional sales organization through recruitment, coaching, development and clear accountability. Create strong managers and future leaders
• Deepen relationships with senior clients and agencies and position Bloomberg as a strategic partner, not simply a media supplier
• Build strong relationships across the global sales organization and wider Bloomberg. Share opportunities, collaborate effectively and put the broader business ahead of individual or regional interests
• Create clarity, discipline and consistency across the organization, improving planning, forecasting, execution and communication

You’ll need to have:

• 15+ years in senior sales, commercial or client leadership roles within media, marketing, technology or a related industry
• Proven track record of delivering significant revenue growth
• Experience leading and scaling high-performing sales organizations across multiple markets
• Strong track record of recruiting, developing and retaining high-quality talent
