The Managing Director, Advertising — APAC will lead Bloomberg Media’s commercial business across Asia Pacific, with responsibility for revenue growth, client relationships and, most importantly, building a high-performing sales organization. APAC is a market with significant opportunity, success will require a leader who can identify where Bloomberg can win, make clear choices about where to focus resources, and build the team and culture to deliver. We are looking for someone who combines strong commercial ambition with sound judgement and a collaborative leadership style. You are someone who can set a high bar, make difficult decisions and move with pace, while remaining calm, collaborative and trusted by the people around you.
