Senior Ops Manager - Asia

Summary

The Senior Ops Manager (Asia) leads Enveritas’ operations in India and works across the wider Asia region. You will run India directly — building and operating the country programme yourself — and work alongside other country leads to keep operations strong across the region. You will represent Enveritas to growers, industry bodies and partners, and support the Regional Head of Asia on regional priorities. This is a role for someone who can be handed a country and trusted with it — you will set the direction, make decisions and resolve problems on their own judgment, escalating what genuinely needs escalating, rather than seeking approval as a default.

There is room to grow into wider regional leadership on the strength of what you demonstrate in the first year. The position is ideally based in Singapore, but we are open to strong candidates elsewhere in Southeast Asia.
