Job description

About the company

Our client is a powerhouse in the global FMCG space—a U.S.-headquartered consumer goods company with a footprint in 115+ countries, this industry leader is home to an iconic portfolio of well-loved household, personal care, and health brands found in millions of homes around the world. Backed by strong values, continuous innovation, and a high-performance culture, the company operates across diverse product categories and is known for delivering consistent growth while remaining agile and entrepreneurial.

About the role

As the Sales Director, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and executing the company’s sales strategy. This newly created position will oversee and drive the performance of three regional Heads of Sales, ensuring the achievement of revenue and market share targets. You will be responsible for leading, coaching, and developing the sales leadership team while fostering a high-performance sales culture.

You will step into a high-impact regional role where you’ll shape the growth story of a dynamic consumer brand across APAC. As the driving force behind business development, you’ll identify exciting new market opportunities, forge partnerships with strategic distributors, and lead the charge on launching new products in untapped markets. You’ll be at the forefront of innovation—translating global brand strategies into compelling local executions, and collaborating closely with marketing and commercial teams to deliver campaigns that win both shelf space and consumer hearts. This is more than a commercial role—it’s a leadership opportunity. You’ll own the regional P&L, manage investments with precision, and lead Joint Business Plans that fuel sustainable growth. As a key partner to finance, supply chain, and global stakeholders, your strategic input will shape decisions at every level. You'll also have the chance to build and develop a high-performing sales team, cultivate meaningful distributor relationships, and lead with a hands-on, entrepreneurial mindset. If you're passionate about brand growth, cross-market strategy, and making your mark in a fast-moving region—this role was made for you.

What You Bring to the Table (And Why It Matters)

You’re a driven commercial leader with a Bachelor's degree in Business (bonus points if you’ve got an advanced degree) and a proven track record of growing brands across APAC. You’ve spent 10+ years navigating the FMCG/CPG landscape, mastering Sales, Marketing, and Account Management—ideally with distributor-led markets. Your resume tells a story of impact—strong business results, sharp brand execution, and clear progression. You communicate with clarity, lead with confidence, and bring the kind of energy that inspires teams and partners alike. Fluency in English is a must; if you speak another Asian language, that’s a big plus. And yes, you’re tech-savvy (MS Office is second nature), data-minded, and presentation-ready at any moment.

What Makes You a Great Fit

You thrive in international environments and understand how to win in diverse APAC markets. You’re culturally intelligent, commercially savvy, and unafraid to roll up your sleeves. Your leadership style is firm yet collaborative—you can drive performance, influence tough decisions, and build trust across functions and borders. You take ownership, meet deadlines, and aren’t afraid of ambitious goals. You're entrepreneurial at heart but know when to play by the rules. You’re not just passionate about brands—you’re passionate about building high-performing teams that can challenge the status quo. This role is based in Singapore, so you’ll need the right to work and travel freely across the region. If you’re someone who brings vision, grit, and a can-do mindset to everything you do—this is your next big move.
