Regional Retail Director, Asia (Lifestyle Retail)

Confidential – Regional Retail Director, Asia (Retained Search)

A global lifestyle retail brand is hiring an experienced Regional Retail Director to join its regional hub in Singapore.

The region has scale. Standards vary. The role will tighten operating discipline, lift productivity, and create consistent retail excellence across diverse Asia markets.

Based in Singapore, the right-fit Regional Retail Director comes with highly energetic and ambitious - someone who gets real satisfaction from moving the number and building a field culture that expects more every week.

Key responsibilities:

• Set the trading cadence: weekly performance rhythm, store visits, follow-through, and non-negotiable standards
• Drive store productivity through retail maths and KPIs: traffic, conversion, UPT, ATV, labour/shopfloor productivity, stock flow
• Embed sharp execution: service model, floor routines, VM standards, coaching cadence, store leadership routines
• Build a performance culture: upgrade field leadership capability, raise accountability, and develop future store/country leaders
• Provide clear trade reads: what’s working, what’s not, and what you’re doing about it

Key requirements:

• You’ve progressed store → multi-store → country → region in consumer/lifestyle retail (hands-on ops, not theory)
• You have true multi-market Asia exposure (not single-market; not distributor-only; across SEA and North Asia)
• You are confident diagnosing problems through KPIs + financials, and you act fast
• Your leadership style is visible, social, high-drive; you create momentum, not meetings
• You’re known for commercial uplift through operating discipline
