Description
About RELEX
RELEX Solutions is a global, AI-driven supply chain planning company with Nordic roots, providing retail optimization software that delivers radically improved demand forecasting and supply chain optimization. That foundation is leveraged into further benefits across store space, allocation, workforce, pricing and promotions — all within one unified platform. Retailers and manufacturers use it to increase product availability, reduce waste, and drive profitable growth.
With over 2,000 professionals worldwide and offices across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, RELEX is trusted by leading brands including NTUC FairPrice, Estée Lauder, DFS, and Coles Supermarkets and Liquor. We're a collaborative, people-first company that believes in innovation and continuous improvement, and we're proud to be an equal opportunity employer committed to an inclusive environment for all employees.
About the Role
Program Directors guide a portfolio of complex implementation projects in a Project Owner role, spanning multiple functional areas within the Japan market — some delivered by partners under Program Director oversight. As Project Owner, they are the senior project leader responsible for guiding the project team, managing stakeholder relationships, and ensuring the project delivers value — both for the customer and for RELEX’s profitability. They set a clear vision, make strategic decisions, manage risks, and serve as the key escalation point throughout the project lifecycle.
They hold clear ownership of the Japan market and are accountable for how that ownership contributes to the region’s overall KPIs, including forecasted revenue and cost of revenue (CoR). They assist in selecting project team members from internal and partner resources, coach other team members, and contribute to global development.
They understand the key processes supported by RELEX products and value drivers well enough to oversee implementations across all product areas — guiding and challenging customer stakeholders and building relationships to C-level to align decisions with value-driven priorities. They also participate in the services sales process, scoping and estimating opportunities, contributing to or owning Statements of Work, and working with the pursuit team to craft commercially viable, risk-managed offerings, including via partners.
