IMC is seeking a Head of Procurement, APAC to lead the procurement function across the Asia Pacific region. This is a newly created role reporting into the APAC CFO, with a dotted line to the Global Head of Procurement. The successful candidate will own regional procurement strategy, build and lead the APAC team, and act as the senior commercial partner to the business across technology, infrastructure and corporate spend.

The role owns the commercial outcomes, supplier relationships and procurement execution that APAC depends on, with direct accountability to regional leadership. It is also one of IMC's regional procurement leads and is expected to help shape and then adopt a shared operating model, so that IMC negotiates as one firm with suppliers who serve it in every region.

The role covers procurement across all APAC categories. Corporate and indirect spend is already well covered by an established team, so the emphasis of this hire is IT and technology procurement. IMC's technology spend is growing quickly and is concentrated in seller-led markets: data centres and exchange colocation, compute and GPU infrastructure, networking, low-latency connectivity, market data and enterprise software. The successful candidate brings real depth in these categories and the commercial judgement to negotiate at scale in them.
