  • Cross-Functional Advocacy: Serve as the strategic bridge between your team, Product, Solutions, Sales, and Leadership to ensure a seamless customer journey from pre-sales through implementation and renewal for APAC clients.
  • Strategic Escalation Support: Step into critical customer situations across the APAC time zones, acting as a secondary layer of management support to unblock roadblocks and secure account health.

  • Mixed-Portfolio Experience: Proven track record of successfully managing or overseeing a blend of high-volume commercial accounts and structured, larger corporate clients.
  • Operational Execution: Strong ability to interpret data, utilize health-scoring tools, and translate metrics into clear action items for a team.
  • Cultural & Regional Competence: Exceptional cross-cultural communication skills with experience supporting teams or customers specifically within the Japanese and Australian markets.
  • Problem-Solving Mindset: A proactive approach to unblocking team challenges, managing customer renewals, and building collaboration across regional sales teams.

Standout Qualities

  • Experience with Diverse Industries in the APJ Market: Business fluency is highly desirable to support local market engagements.
  • Expertise in Collaborative Work Management (CWM): Prior experience with Wrike or similar platform ecosystems, understanding how to map business processes to digital solutions.
