Reporting to the Regional Marketing Director, you will partner closely with Global Marketing teams in Pittsburgh and New York, as well as Country Marketing Managers around the world, to find opportunities and create bold, creative campaigns that resonate with Southeast Asian audiences.

You have...

• Deep cultural awareness of Southeast Asia, with a pulse on social trends and what consumers care about now.
• A track record of achieving phenomenal results with bold ideas rather than big budgets.
• Storytelling skills, with the creativity to build compelling narratives that spark conversation.
