Your principal focus will be on Southeast Asia, but you may be required to work on cross-cutting issues and projects across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. The role is based in Singapore.

  • Work collaboratively with and leverage the expertise of the Global Public Affairs, Legal, and Business teams to ensure alignment with Tencent's goals and objectives;
  • Engage and work closely with industry partners, trade associations, experts, and other organisations to support business and industry positions;
  • Represent Tencent at conferences, panel discussions, and other events, and support executive engagements; and
  • At all times, work with honesty, integrity, and authenticity across cultures and in line with Tencent's values and mission.


Who We Look For

  • At least 6 years of experience working on technology policy issues within government, corporates, think tanks, consultancy firms, or relevant trade associations.
  • In-depth understanding of the Southeast Asia and broader APAC policy environment.
  • Collaborative and able to work well both as part of a team and independently in a global and multi-cultural environment. Having a good sense of humour helps
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to present and explain complex concepts and technical details effectively to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Superb organisational and time management skills to execute complex projects in an effective and timely manner.
  • Self-starter with a strong sense of ownership to deliver impactful projects.
  • Fluent in English, both written and verbal. Additional language skills (including Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu, Thai, Japanese, Korean, or Mandarin) a plus.
  • May require travel to Southeast Asia and/or APAC markets.
