We are seeking experienced, Mandarin-speaking professionals who will be responsible for understanding customer expectations, ensuring delivery excellence, and strengthening client relationships. The Regional Engagement Manager plays a vital role in enhancing the customer experience by ensuring smooth and successful delivery of services that meet and exceed client needs.

Positka is committed to investing in best‑in‑class training / certifications and providing opportunities to work on cutting edge projects at leading customer organizations globally.

  • Convert the requirements into specific deliverables and credible plans.
  • Drive delivery of outcomes by leading a team of specialists and in collaboration with key stakeholders within Positka and across the customer organization.
  • Identify opportunities for business development and extending client relationships.

Projects are likely to be primarily in the domain of Cybersecurity and allied areas of Information Technology. Whilst cybersecurity background is not a pre‑requisite, past experience implementing software solutions or driving technology services delivery will be useful. The Regional Engagement Manager, over time, will need to gain in‑depth knowledge and understanding of Positka’s solutions.

The Regional Engagement Manager will be driving the execution of strategic projects that may be across any of the key geographies including Singapore, HK, Japan, Middle East, UK, India, and North America. Most engagement will occur largely remotely but there may be occasional travel.

  • Design & execute resource plans to ensure the right type and number of resources that are required to fulfill the planned projects are available and in place.
  • Holding the teams to the highest standards, project discipline and accountability.
  • Continuously improving the project delivery model and strategy.
  • Apply industry standard Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to client specific situations.
  • Serve as an escalation point for customer concerns if / when they arise.
  • Analytical / Decision Making Responsibilities

  • Must be able to identify appropriate product / service offerings to meet the client’s needs.
  • Must make decisions, such as prioritize relationships to develop, negotiate with customers and overcome obstacles.
  • Manage multiple teams to deliver projects in alignment with customer needs with transparency to IT Services and customer stakeholders.
  • Identify, manage, and resolve complex issues, preventing escalations, where possible.
  • Manage, negotiate, and resolve project risks effectively.
  • Demonstrate, by example, in-depth knowledge of Positka’s principles and practices, including coaching, learning, and mentoring.
  • Leader and team player – set example for project managers, business analysts and others to follow.
  • Create an open, honest, accountable, and collaborative team environment.
  • Successful candidates will work directly and independently with clients to ensure smooth and effective delivery in all relevant parameters. He or she will coordinate with other departments to ensure all aspects of each project progress smoothly by problem solving roadblocks and coming up with practical remedial actions.

  • 7+ years’ experience in Project Management, with at least part of that as the primary Engagement Manager.
