Description We are seeking an accomplished and hands-on Marketing Director to lead the transformation of one of Malaysia&aposs most established and well-loved consumer brands. This is a pivotal role that demands the ability to articulate brand strategy into a clear and actionable commercial agenda, steering both brand and portfolio transformation in a market where competition from both aggressive local players and global multinationals is intense. Responsibilities The ideal candidate will be a commercially astute FMCG leader with a track record of reinvigorating mature brands, driving product innovation, and building market relevance in competitive environments.

You will lead brand transformation efforts that are relevant for Malaysia&aposs diverse market, embracing local cultural nuances and communicating in ways that resonate authentically with consumers. Requirements This role requires an open-minded leader who can drive change in a market where transformation can be gradual, balancing patience with the urgency to execute. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to align business models, sharpen cost competitiveness, and enhance in-store and on-the-ground execution. Strong business acumen, nutritional category understanding, and the ability to develop team capability are essential to long-term success. If you are an inspiring FMCG marketing leader - ideally with experience in nutrition categories - who combines strategic vision, operational grit, and a passion for innovation, this is an opportunity to make a decisive impact on a heritage brand at a critical point in its journey.
