APAC IT Delivery Manager (Infrastructure Background)

Save job

A leading global organisation is seeking an APAC IT Delivery Manager with a strong infrastructure background to join their team in Kuala Lumpur. This role offers you the opportunity to plan, manage, and deliver medium- to high-complexity IT initiatives across the APAC region, ensuring alignment with global standards and best practices. You will be at the forefront of Workplace Technology & Support Services, Connectivity/Network, Cloud, and IT Security projects.

What you'll do:

As an APAC IT Delivery Manager – Infrastructure Focus based in Kuala Lumpur, you will be responsible for orchestrating the successful execution of complex IT projects across diverse markets within the APAC region. Your day-to-day activities will involve planning detailed project roadmaps, defining clear objectives and governance structures, coordinating multidisciplinary teams both internally and externally, and advising stakeholders on optimal technology solutions. You will facilitate workshops that foster agile methodologies and drive continuous improvement efforts while supporting incident management and change initiatives. Regular interaction with regional leaders, business managers, architects, local IT staff, vendors, and partners will be essential for maintaining stakeholder alignment. Additionally, you will have opportunities to participate in global projects beyond APAC—expanding your professional horizons through international collaboration. Success in this role requires a blend of technical expertise in infrastructure domains (Workplace Technology & Support Services, Connectivity/Network, Cloud, IT Security), strong interpersonal skills for stakeholder engagement, analytical thinking for problem-solving, and sensitivity to cultural nuances when working with multinational teams.

  • Plan and oversee the delivery of infrastructure and workplace technology projects throughout the APAC region, ensuring all initiatives are executed according to established timelines and quality standards.
  • Define project scope, objectives, budgets, schedules, and governance frameworks to ensure clarity and alignment among all stakeholders involved in each initiative.
  • Coordinate internal technical teams as well as external vendors and partners to guarantee effective collaboration and timely completion of project milestones.
  • Advise business stakeholders on suitable IT solutions by conducting thorough assessments and providing actionable recommendations tailored to organisational needs.
  • Support incident management processes by facilitating prompt resolution of technical issues and maintaining clear communication channels between relevant parties.
  • Drive change management activities by aligning stakeholders on new technologies or processes introduced during project delivery.
  • Facilitate workshops that promote agile ways of working within project teams, encouraging continuous improvement and adaptability throughout the lifecycle of each initiative.
  • Promote stakeholder alignment by regularly engaging with Domain Leads, Business Project Managers, IT Architects, Local IT teams, vendors, and partners across the region.
  • Report directly to the Regional IT Manager or Director while providing functional leadership to project teams without direct line management responsibilities.
  • Participate occasionally in global projects, broadening your exposure to international best practices.

What you bring:

To thrive as an APAC IT Delivery Manager – Infrastructure Focus in Kuala Lumpur, you will bring a wealth of experience from multinational settings where you have successfully delivered complex technology projects. Your educational background should include a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Information Technology (or an equivalent discipline), complemented by at least seven years’ hands-on involvement in project delivery roles. Experience navigating matrix organisations—where coordination spans multiple regions—is vital for managing diverse teams effectively. Your deep understanding of workplace technology services alongside robust knowledge of network infrastructure positions you as a dependable resource for driving impactful change. Practical familiarity with cloud platforms and security measures further enhances your ability to troubleshoot technical issues swiftly. Recognised certifications such as PMI or PRINCE2 demonstrate your commitment to structured project management approaches; meanwhile exposure to Agile/hybrid methods equips you to adapt quickly within dynamic environments. Additional credentials like ITIL v3 or experience supporting enterprise applications (e.g., SAP) add valuable breadth to your skillset. Above all else, your interpersonal strengths—including clear communication style and empathetic stakeholder engagement—will help foster trust among colleagues from varied backgrounds.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology or equivalent qualification is required for this position.
  • At least seven years’ proven experience in delivering IT projects within multinational environments is essential for success.
  • Demonstrated ability to coordinate regional or global projects within matrix organisations is highly valued.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of Workplace Technology & Support Services as well as network infrastructure is necessary for this role.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud technologies and IT security protocols will enable you to excel in managing complex initiatives.
  • Project management certification such as PMI or PRINCE2 along with practical experience using Agile or hybrid methodologies is mandatory.
  • Familiarity with ITIL v3 certification or equivalent experience is considered advantageous but not strictly required.
  • Exposure to enterprise applications such as SAP would be beneficial for broader support across different IT domains.
  • Exceptional communication skills combined with facilitation abilities are crucial for effective stakeholder management across cultures.
  • Analytical mindset paired with structured problem-solving capabilities ensures you can address challenges efficiently while remaining customer-oriented.
