About the Role

As AVP of Capacity Management, you will serve as a key commercial strategist driving the growth, profitability, and expansion of PCCW Global’s subsea infrastructure network.

In this high-visibility leadership role based in Hong Kong, you will build and evaluate complex business cases, steer multi-million-dollar CAPEX/OPEX investments, and partner closely with senior executive and finance teams. You will oversee a critical global portfolio spanning 50+ submarine and terrestrial cable systems—balancing strategic market analysis with disciplined financial execution.

Note on Industry Background: While familiarity with telecommunications or subsea networks is a plus, deep experience in subsea markets is negotiable.
