The Opportunity

The Executive Director, Strategic Client Engagement provides senior executive engagement and regional sponsorship for Rimes' most complex and strategically significant client transformation programmes in APAC. Working alongside the accountable Delivery Director and the Global Programme Director, the role strengthens executive relationships, supports strategic alignment, and helps ensure that the onsite delivery team can rapidly access the expertise, decisions, and organisational support required for successful outcomes.

The role will provide sustained senior executive presence on strategically important client relationships in Singapore and help develop a repeatable executive engagement model for future strategic programmes across Rimes' largest APAC clients. It is intended to complement, rather than duplicate or supersede, established programme and delivery accountabilities.

The Strategic Client Delivery Partner will work directly with client executives, programme sponsors, and Rimes senior leadership, while partnering closely with the accountable Delivery Director, Global Programme Director, and teams across Product, Technology, Data, Professional Services, Operations, and Client Experience. The role is accountable for strengthening executive confidence, facilitating strategic alignment, supporting sensitive escalations, and removing organisational barriers. It does not own day-to-day delivery, the integrated programme plan, detailed workstream execution, or line management of the local delivery team.

Provide senior-level support for sensitive escalations and help mobilise timely decisions, expertise, and organisational support.

Support the accountable programme and delivery leaders in securing timely decisions and organisational commitments against agreed objectives, milestones, dependencies, risks, and success measures.

Maintain an executive view of programme health and sponsor timely intervention through the established governance structure where required.

Support concise, consistent executive communication to client and Rimes leadership, aligned with the accountable programme and delivery leaders.
Reinforce established programme governance and support executive escalations, risk reviews, and steering discussions where senior regional sponsorship adds value.
