Role Overview
Reporting to the GM of the portfolio, you will lead the Industrial Hose & Connectors category across the Asia Pacific region.

This role presents a unique opportunity to shape the future of the category. Following recent acquisitions, the business is focused on harmonising product portfolios, standardising category structures and creating a consistent customer offering across the region. Success will come from your ability to influence stakeholders, challenge traditional ways of working and deliver commercially focused outcomes that support the organisation's long term strategy.
