The Role

As an APAC Key Account Manager, you'll lead and grow a portfolio of strategic accounts across APAC, delivering global commercial and client solutions. You'll need a strong understanding of global and APAC organisational structures — particularly where decision-making influence sits — and the ability to build strategic relationships within large, often decentralised enterprises. The role demands proven executive engagement, sharp stakeholder management, and strong commercial acumen to position SEEK as the preferred end-to-end talent partner across APAC, winning wallet and ad share from global competitors like LinkedIn, Indeed, and dominant in-country marketplaces.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Account Planning – Design and implement strategic portfolio and client relationship plans for APAC and Global Multinational Corporates (MNCs).
• Senior Stakeholder Engagement – Lead and manage multiple senior and executive client relationships across APAC and globally, proactively identifying upsell and cross-sell opportunities.
• Revenue & Market Share Growth – Drive sales growth, retain and expand product adoption, and manage annual contract negotiations with a focus on revenue and market share.
• Account Leadership – Influence and align in-country Key Account Managers, CSMs, and CS Support teams to execute account strategy effectively.
• Internal Stakeholder Management – Collaborate across marketing, product, strategy, commercial, and operations to deliver seamless client servicing and solutions.
• Solution Development & Customisation – Conduct customer research and provide product, pricing, and strategy feedback to develop tailored MNC solutions.
• Executive Relationship Management – Manage SEEK Executive relationship plans and interactions with key clients across APAC and globally.
• Commercial Offer Development – Work with leadership to develop strategic commercial offers and pricing to win and grow MNC client share.
• Performance Reviews & Market Intelligence – Conduct regular Executive Account Reviews and provide leadership with updates on relationships, opportunities, and market trends.
• Training & Product Adoption – Design and execute APAC training programs and collaborate with CSMs on new product rollouts to maximise advertising performance and product uptake.

You will work closely with the Global Accounts team colleagues across Australia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Philippines to build client strategies, develop global solutions and win market share.

Reporting to your leader in Malaysia, this role will be instrumental in the building a line of business to drive and win market share relative to our global competitors such as LinkedIn, Indeed and local in-country employment marketplaces.
