This role reports directly to the Chief of Staff to CBO Advertising and works closely with the Head of Ads Revenue - APAC, who carries oversight of the full InMobi portfolio across the region.APAC is one of InMobi's most strategically important regions, and one we have reignited focused investment in over the last year. It is not a monolithic market - India, SEA, Japan, Korea, and ANZ each bring distinct advertiser ecosystems and approaches to digital advertising. This role exists to build the strategy that honours that diversity, while ensuring every market and internal team is aligned toward shared objectives, and to implement robust operating processes that drive consistent execution and accountability across the region.It is inherently cross-functional, serving as the connective tissue between global leadership and regional execution - and a genuine opportunity to shape how InMobi competes across one of the world's most dynamic advertising landscapes.What will you be doing?

Shape APAC Strategy: Adapt global operating standards and GTM strategy to APAC markets (India, SEA, Japan, Korea, ANZ), ensuring regional alignment while leveraging support from Chief of Staff and RevOps teams.
Drive Performance Visibility: Own the APAC Ads performance framework across revenue, advertiser growth, and supply, translating data into actionable insights for leadership decision-making.
Establish Operating Cadence: Design and run regional operating rhythms (WBRs, MBRs, QBRs) to drive accountability, alignment, and execution across markets.
Enable Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with Sales, Product, Marketing, and Partnerships to translate global priorities into effective regional execution.
Lead Strategic Initiatives: Drive key regional programs including market expansion, segmentation, pricing, monetization, and competitive strategy.

What is expected out of you?

5-8 years of experience in strategy, management consulting, or business operations within a high-growth technology environment

Structured thinker and pragmatic executor - able to design a regional strategy and ensure it lands at the market level

Analytically rigorous - proven ability to work with complex datasets, build business cases, and translate analysis into recommendations that senior leaders act on

Effective without formal authority - drives alignment across cross-functional and global teams through the quality of thinking and communication, not organisational hierarchy
