Hi M***o, I’m J***e from StrategyBrain, partnering with A***y. I came across your profile and was impressed by your 19-year track record leading integrated marketing, CRM and e-commerce teams at R***r and B***n across the Asia region. We’re currently looking for a Vice President of Marketing & Customer Experience, APAC, to drive brand, CRM and loyalty programs for a fast-growing EV startup. Would you be interested in a brief conversation to explore this opportunity?

Hi M***o, happy to share more. A***y is a rapidly growing EV startup committed to premium, connected vehicles. We’re now scaling across APAC and building out our marketing & customer experience function in Shanghai, Singapore and Sydney. In the VP role you’d lead five core squads,brand communications, performance marketing, CRM & loyalty, community management and retail marketing,with roughly 30,40 team members (including 5,7 direct reports). You’d own org design, budgets, vendor partnerships and go-to-market execution, partnering closely with product, sales and operations. Before we dive deeper, I’d love to understand what challenges you’re facing in your current Head of Marketing role. Are you hitting growth plateaus, struggling with team alignment or resource constraints, or finding certain leadership or development opportunities limited? Knowing this will help me show how A***y can address exactly those pain points.

Hi M***o, thanks for sharing your challenges. Here’s how A***y tackles squad alignment and rapid experimentation: 1. Squad Structure & Sync • You’ll lead five dedicated squads,Brand Comms, Performance Marketing, CRM & Loyalty, Community Management and Retail Marketing,each with its own head. • We run a bi-weekly leadership sync to align on priorities, budgets and upcoming pilots, plus a monthly all-squads review to ensure transparency and eliminate duplication. 2. Centralized Ops & Agile Budgeting • A Marketing Operations team manages vendor relationships and budget allocation through a streamlined approval process,so you can green-light small pilots in 48 hours rather than weeks. • We maintain a dedicated “Test & Learn” fund for loyalty and community initiatives. As VP, you’ll own that innovation budget and decide which pilots move forward, supported by clear ROI metrics. 3. Data-Driven Experimentation • Our in-house analytics squad delivers real-time performance dashboards for every pilot,community activations, loyalty programs, social content tests,so you can iterate quickly. • Quarterly “innovation reviews” help you scale what works region-wide or sunset what doesn’t, without impacting core campaign budgets. Beyond these processes, the VP role offers: • Strategic influence as a key member of our APAC leadership team, shaping go-to-market across China, SEA and ANZ. • A competitive package with base salary, performance bonus and equity upside tied to growth and retention metrics. • A fast-paced, collaborative culture that encourages ownership and invests in your development through external trainings and conferences. Does this give you a clearer picture of how we align squads and empower rapid pilots? I’m happy to dive deeper into any area you’d like,just let me know!

Hi M***o, Great question,happy to share more detail on how our real-time analytics and Test & Learn ROI guardrails work. 1. Sample Dashboard Overview - Platform: We run our dashboards in L***r, pulling live data from our martech stack (ad platforms, CRM, e-commerce and community tools). - Key Modules: • Channel Performance (impressions, clicks, conversions, CPA/CAC) • Pilot Tracker (spend vs. revenue, net profit, payback period) • Cohort Analysis (new vs. returning users, retention curves) • Engagement Metrics (community activity, loyalty program participation, NPS delta) • Budget Utilization (forecast vs. actual spend, reallocations) - Update Cadence: All tiles refresh every 5 minutes, and you can drill into any metric by market or squad. 2. Typical ROI Thresholds for Test & Learn Pilots - Performance Marketing: target ROAS ≥ 2.5× within the first 30,45 days. - Loyalty/Community Programs: aim for at least 150% ROI within a 3,6-month window, with a pilot spend cap of ~USD 30,50K. - New Channel or Feature Tests: require a payback period of under 6 months and a unit economics floor (e.g., CAC/LTV ratio ≥ 1:3). - E-commerce Extensions (e.g., lifestyle add-ons): expect a 200,250% return by month three. These thresholds are guidelines,once you’re on board, you’ll own the Test & Learn fund and can fine-tune targets based on market nuances. Next Steps If you’d like, I can arrange a 30-minute walkthrough with our Analytics Lead, where we’ll pull up a live demo (sanitized for confidentiality) and go through a recent pilot case study. Let me know your availability, and I’ll set it up! Looking forward to your thoughts. Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain for A***y

Hi M***o, Great question,flexibility is key for us. The ROAS/CAC thresholds and spend caps I shared are regional guardrails designed to ensure consistency and overall ROI, but as VP you’ll have full authority to fine-tune them by market. Here’s how it works: 1. Market-Level Adjustments • You’ll set country-specific targets based on local CAC/LTV dynamics, working with your squad heads and our Analytics team. • Dashboards support you to model scenarios,e.g., tweaking a CAC cap in Indonesia versus Australia,and forecast impact on LTV. 2. Approval & Governance • Proposals for deviations flow through our bi-weekly leadership sync (you’ll present your business case) and Ops team for budget alignment. • Major shifts are reviewed monthly in our Innovation Review to ensure they align with overall APAC strategy and risk parameters. 3. Empowered Ownership • You own the “Test & Learn” fund and can reallocate spend quickly once local targets are approved. • Analytics and Finance partners stand by to help you calibrate thresholds, monitor performance, and adjust in real time. If you’d like to see exactly how we model these market-by-market variations,plus a walkthrough of the dashboards and approval workflow,let me know your availability. I can set up a 30-minute demo with our Analytics Lead as early as this week. Looking forward to your thoughts! Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain for A***y

Hi M***o, Great question,and one we’re very intentional about. At A***y, supporting our senior leaders’ well-being is a top priority: 1. Clear Delegation & Squad Autonomy • With five market leads and 5,7 direct reports, you’re empowered to delegate day-to-day firefighting. Each squad head manages local execution, backed by standardized playbooks and a regional ops team that handles vendor coordination and budget approvals. 2. Predictable Cadence & Time-Zone Respect • We run a bi-weekly “leadership sync” at overlapping hours only, plus asynchronous updates via our collaboration platform. No one is expected online at midnight,meeting slots are booked to accommodate all zones fairly. 3. Flexible Work Models & PTO Culture • We offer flexible start/stop times and a generous leave policy. Each country also observes local holidays, and we encourage “no-meeting Fridays” on a rotating basis to give teams,and you,uninterrupted focus time. 4. Leadership Coaching & EAP • As VP, you’ll have access to executive coaching sessions and our Employee Assistance Program for stress management or work-life workshops. 5. Shared On-Call Roster • For urgent issues, we maintain a light on-call rotation across markets so no single leader bears the burden. I hope this gives you confidence that we build structure and culture to prevent burnout. Would you be open to a 15-minute chat with our Head of People to walk through these practices in more detail? Looking forward to your thoughts. Best, J***e
