Deputy was founded and is headquartered in Sydney, and while we have fast growing regions in North America and EMEA, our biggest customer footprint is in APAC. This role is responsible for the success of Deputy in APAC. It reports to the Global President, and will work closely with global functional leadership across Customer Success, Finance, Marketing, Partnerships, Product and Sales.

The position will lead in synthesizing internal and external inputs to set the strategy that achieves company objectives throughout APAC. An emphasis will be on continuous improvement to an industry-leading PLG company across every aspect of conversion and customer care.

**What & Why**

At Deputy our mission is to change how hourly employees are managed globally.

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics reported over 80 million hourly workers comprising over 60% of the US workforce in 2017. Global estimates are that hourly workers are 80%- 90% of the workforce. Yet while hourly workers comprise such large majorities of both the U.S. and global workforces, there is a stark lack of software tools available today that directly address their needs.

There are literally millions of workers and businesses clamouring for a technology-based solution to bring the mundane tasks associated with work and scheduling into the modern world.

Deputy frees people from the mundane. When freed from the mundane, people excel at what they do. Businesses grow. They employ more people. More people get to put food on the table for their family. The socioeconomic impact of Deputy is truly rewarding.
