Strategic Global Business Leader

We're Hiring: Strategic Global Business Leader (Hydrogen & Methanol)
Future COO Potential | Fluent in English & Mandarin | High Upside, Low Ego
Are you ready to join a pioneering venture that aims to transform the global energy landscape and be rewarded accordingly?
Hydrogen Era Global (HEG) is not your average startup. We're building Southeast Asia's clean energy backbone, and we are looking for a sharp, charismatic and versatile leader to bring this vision to life.
This role requires dedication and resilience. While initial compensation is modest, the upside is enormous — Equity, legacy, and the chance to lead a generational shift. Think of the early days of Alibaba and Tesla before anyone believed.
About Us — Why This Matters
Everyone's talking about hydrogen, but few address the hard truths — hydrogen is clean, but it's not yet scalable due to major bottlenecks in storage, transport, and infrastructure.
At HEG, we believe there's a better way.
And we're proving it.
Methanol: The Game-Changer
At HEG, we're unlocking hydrogen — through methanol — a stable, liquid, widely traded chemical:
Liquid at room temperature
Compatible with existing fuel infrastructure
Can be reformed onsite into hydrogen for immediate consumption, eliminating storage risk
Methanol is not just a carrier; it also serves as a direct fuel, allowing hydrogen-based solutions to be practical today. Our phased transition begins with methanol internal combustion engine (ICE) technology to replace diesel. It's:
Proven in China
More cost competitive than diesel
Significantly cleaner (Minimal NOx, SOx or PM)
Our first methanol ICE generator set will arrive in Singapore for proof of concept this August. We have secured fuel supply and built the entire ecosystem—from proprietary technology and distribution to end-user integration.
A Tipping Point is Near
Upon successful prototype testing, we will accelerate aggressively. Cleaner, lower carbon, and more affordable than diesel, our solution is set to disrupt the market.
We are preparing to showcase at key conferences, exhibitions, and media platforms, with established partners in Indonesia ready to join. ASEAN-wide expansion is imminent. We have strong engagement with government agencies, regulators, and policymakers inspired by our vision to deploy methanol solutions across land, sea, air, and power grids.
This momentum, once triggered, will be unstoppable — just like how AI reshaped the world.
What We Have Achieved
Exclusive IP rights from China's leading hydrogen and methanol companies
Exclusive distribution rights across global markets, outside of China
Secured hydropower-to-hydrogen projects in China with committed offtakers
Strong demand for PEM electrolyzers in multiple projects
Complete fuel supply chain secured — from production to end-users
Singapore as our showcase market, with maximum visibility and strategic relevance
ASEAN expansion roadmap ready
Strong political support enabling top-down regulatory engagement
Upcoming initiatives: methanol & hydrogen vehicles, drones, marine vessels, hydrogen bikes, green methanol supply, solid-state hydrogen storage, and our own methanol production plant
Our Team and Culture
We are highly selective. Our current lean team is motivated, grounded, and driven by legacy. We accept modest pay today, confident in tomorrow's exponential growth and high upside rewards.
Our mission is clear. Our market is compelling. Our team is committed. To reach the next level, this team is not enough. We need more leaders who share our vision and are ready to build history.
The Role: Strategic Business Leader (COO Potential)
Key responsibilities:
Drive execution of hydrogen and methanol projects
Lead commercial growth, investor relations and stakeholder engagements
Representing HEG with confidence and charisma across Singapore, China, and Southeast Asia
Serving as a strategic partner to the CEO, leading with boldness and operational precision
Who Shouldn't Apply
We're building something ambitious. This role is not for those seeking:
A cushy corporate package with big titles and limited hustle
A narrow job scope focused only on strategy or sales
We need someone versatile — someone who can speak confidently on stage, close deals, engage with investors and regulators, work with strategic distributors, organize exhibitions, and handle operational challenges as they arise. This is a hands-on, dynamic role in a startup environment, demanding grit and passion.
Once we scale, you will be the one building the system others rely on.
Candidate Profile:
Passionate about building a legendary company from startup to public listing
Charismatic leader, confident with strong stage presence and global market mindset
Fluent in Mandarin and English (mandatory)
Experience in hydrogen, methanol or energy sectors
Strategic thinker with decisiveness and independence, yet collaborative
Hands-on and lead from the front
Willing to travel frequently
What We Offer:
Equity and profit-sharing opportunities
A clear pathway to C-suite leadership for the right candidate
Exclusive access to unique IP, projects, partners, and political networks
A growing brand with strong momentum and media exposure
Leadership by a seasoned CEO and core team who have cleared the hardest hurdles
If you've ever thought,
"Give me the right platform, and I'll make history"
this is your moment.
