.About the Role

Veeam is seeking an experienced communications leader to shape, build, and protect the company’s reputation across Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ). The Director, APJ Communications, will translate Veeam’s global corporate narrative into locally relevant programs that build trust, strengthen executive visibility, influence customers and industry stakeholders, and support the company’s growth across a diverse set of markets. This leader will own the APJ communications strategy and serve as a trusted adviser to regional executives. They will lead integrated public relations, analyst engagement, and executive communications; direct regional agency partners; prepare the business for emerging issues; and connect regional opportunities and insights to Veeam’s global Corporate Communications organization. The successful candidate will be a collaborative leader who can operate effectively as part of a global, regional, and local team. The role is based in Asia, with a preference for Singapore, but other regional locations are possible, and will require some international travel.
