**How you’ll make an impact**

This role operates across two main geographies, headquartered in South Africa and Singapore, to develop and run end to end strategic and operational programs of work, designed to support all Emerging Markets (EM) facing into the challenges of today, to meet the opportunities of the years ahead.

In this role you will work closely with both regional Leads to develop the strategy. You’ll own and drive the design and analysis of key strategic opportunities for Emerging Markets, align global and regional strategy into key programs of work, and then project manage and coordinate across all functions of the Xero business, both global and in region, to deliver and execute.
