Regional Client Solutions Manager | Singapore

About the job

We are conducting a search for a Regional Client Solutions to establish and lead the Singapore hub of an Asia-focused search and talent solutions business.

The firm is founder-led, investor-backed, and built by an established operator with deep domain credibility in Life Sciences and FMCG. While the brand is early-stage in Asia, the client relationships, delivery infrastructure, and financial foundations are already in place.

This is a build mandate, not a turnaround.

THE ROLE

As Client Services Manager, you will act as the senior client-facing representative for the region, driving growth through a multi-solution talent model across Life Sciences, FMCG, and adjacent specialist markets.

This is not a purely retained search role. Nor is it a billing-heavy contingent desk.

The focus is on:

• Building long-term regional client partnerships
• Delivering search, contracting, market mapping, and benchmarking solutions
• Positioning the firm as a data-driven, consultative talent partner
• Establishing a sustainable Singapore platform with regional relevance

This role offers the opportunity to become the on-the-ground leader for a regionally backed, investor-supported platform without inheriting legacy complexity.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Client Leadership & Regional Growth

• Act as senior client lead for Singapore and regional Asia
• Own and deepen relationships with HQ-based clients expanding across Asia
• Develop repeat, multi-solution engagements rather than one-off mandates
• Identify cross-border growth opportunities within existing accounts
• Position the firm as a strategic workforce and talent advisory partner

2. Solution Design & Delivery Oversight

• Lead structured client discussions across:
  • Retained and contingent search
  • Contracting and interim solutions
  • Market mapping and talent intelligence
  • Benchmarking and workforce insights
• Partner closely with an established regional research and delivery team

3. Commercial Ownership

• Drive revenue growth across multiple solution lines
• Retain the ability to personally bill and earn commission where appropriate
• Focus on account sustainability and regional expansion over transactional wins
• Contribute to pricing strategy, solution structuring, and margin optimisation

4. Platform & Brand Building

• Establish and scale the Singapore presence
• Represent the business at senior client meetings and industry forums
• Contribute to service evolution, productisation, and go-to-market strategy
• Act as a cultural and values ambassador for a high-integrity business

IDEAL PROFILE

You are likely to:

• Bring significant experience in recruitment or talent solutions
• Have strong exposure to Life Sciences, FMCG, or adjacent specialist markets
• Be commercially credible at regional and C-suite level
• Understand both retained and contingent search models
• Be comfortable shaping solutions, not simply executing briefs
• Thrive in autonomous, entrepreneurial environments
• Possess strong Asia market understanding, with Singapore as a base

This role suits a senior leader who wants commercial autonomy without the pressure of a purely quota-driven billing model and who is motivated by building long-term regional value.

This is a rare opportunity to build a regional client solutions platform from Singapore, with strong foundations, commercial backing, and genuine autonomy.
