Join the client as a General Manager in an executive, country leadership role supporting a high-growth retail expansion across Southeast Asia. The position focuses on leading daily operations to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in achieving business objectives, while developing and implementing strategic plans to drive growth and profitability.
You will oversee business development activities to support timely opening of new stores, monitor market trends, and adapt business strategies to maintain a competitive edge.
