• Promotion Planning & Performance Review

JOB REQUIREMENTS

• Twelve or more years in marketing, with at least five in a head-of-function role carrying full budget accountability.
• Track record in multi-outlet food and beverage, retail chain, or consumer-facing franchise businesses in Malaysia or the wider ASEAN region — you understand outlet economics, footfall, dayparts and the operational reality behind a campaign.
• Demonstrable ownership of a marketing P&L, including having defended a budget to a chief executive or a board and delivered a measurable return on it.
• Hands-on command of a consumer application or loyalty platform as an owner — membership growth, CRM, lifecycle campaigns, points economics — not as a stakeholder of someone else's product.
• Genuine platform fluency across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Threads and Xiaohongshu, with a view on what each is actually good for.
• Experience building or professionalising KOL and agency management, including the governance and paper trail behind it.
• Strong commercial and analytical capability — comfortable in the numbers, able to model a promotion and argue its economics.
• Fluent written and spoken English and Bahasa Malaysia. Working Mandarin is a significant advantage given our Greater China platform and IP work.
