Associate/ Senior Associate, Marketing
Singapore

GLG is looking to hire a Marketing Associate to join our South APAC marketing team, covering Australia, New Zealand, India, and Southeast Asia. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for a digital marketer with proven experience across SEO, GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation), and paid digital channels — someone who can own workstreams independently, connect data to strategy, and drive measurable results across a complex, multi-market region. 

You will work closely with the Senior Marketing Manager to plan and execute integrated campaigns, lifecycle programmes, and organic and paid digital strategies across the South APAC region, spanning three business segments: Corporate, Financial Services, and Consulting. 

This role requires at least two years of relevant working experience. We are not looking for a generalist — we need someone who can hit the ground running, take strategic ownership of digital and content workstreams, and proactively identify opportunities. 

Campaign Execution & Lifecycle Marketing 

  • Plan and execute integrated marketing campaigns across email, paid, and organic channels for the South APAC region in collaboration with the Senior Marketing Manager — from strategy to deployment to optimisation. 
  • Own lifecycle campaign workstreams end-to-end: audience segmentation, copy, trigger logic, CTA design, and post-launch analysis. 
  • Independently analyse campaign performance data and translate findings into segment-specific, market-specific recommendations. 
  • Proactively identify performance gaps, content opportunities, and activation levers.
