•  Translate Avanade's global strategy and narrative into powerful, locally relevant messages for APAC markets, localizing global research and campaigns while maintaining alignment to the global communications framework.

Media Relations, Thought Leadership & Events

•  Oversee the regional media relations strategy and programme, working with the global media relations lead and local agencies to build earned coverage momentum and message penetration.

Integrated Campaigns & Employee Engagement

•  Contribute to integrated marketing campaign planning across earned, owned, social and employee channels.

•  Drive employee communications from the APAC President, activating through Viva Engage, all-hands events, leadership cascades and face-to-face moments, working closely with HR and local business leaders.

•  Collaborate with Marketing, Sales, Microsoft and agency partners to identify and amplify client stories, announcements and newsworthy opportunities.

What You Bring

Experience

•  8 years of communications experience, ideally spanning both in-house and agency environments.

•  Demonstrated ability to design and implement integrated communications strategies — with a digital and content focus.

•  Experience across multiple communications disciplines and stakeholder types: media, analysts, employees, government and industry bodies.

•  Experience working within enterprise technology, consulting, AI, cloud or digital transformation organizations preferred.

Skills & Attributes

•  Exceptional storyteller and writer — able to translate complex technology topics into compelling narratives for diverse audiences.

•  Proven ability to localize global narratives and develop APAC-wide campaigns relevant across individual markets.

•  Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, able to operate across leadership teams, business functions and external partners.

•  Highly organized, commercially aware and results-driven, with the ability to lead through influence rather than direct authority.
