Senior Career Transition Consultant
Substance · Singapore
Our client is a boutique executive outplacement firm in Dubai and Singapore serving the APMEA region. We are deliberately not a volume provider.
We take a small number of mid to senior individuals and get them to the right next role — measured on placement quality and compensation retention, not logins to a portal. We are built for the churn realities of this region: expat transitions, visa-linked exits, and executive moves where reputation and discretion matter.
The role
You will personally carry a small caseload of mid to senior professionals and executives through transition — strategy, positioning, market access, negotiation. You will do the actual work, at depth, with people who can afford to be picky about outcomes.
Requirements
You'll recognise yourself here if you
- Have delivered outplacement or career transition inside a structured provider (LHH, Right Management, RiseSmart, Korn Ferry, Mercer, or a regional boutique) and know how that model works from the inside
- Have felt the tension between caseload volume and doing right by the individual
- Understand APMEA hiring, GCC labour and visa realities in different countries (i.e. Singapore, Dubai, etc), and how executives actually get placed here
This Role Is NOT For You If
- You do not have outplacement consulting experience
- You do not have track record in supporting affected employees
- You need highly structured environments with clear playbooks
- You prefer relationship management without accountability
Benefits
At Substance, we believe in genuine connections, not just filling roles. If your profile is a strong match, you’ll hear from us within 1-2 weeks. If not, no empty promises—just know we appreciate your interest, and we’ll keep you in mind for future opportunities where you can truly make an impact. Our focus is on building meaningful partnerships, so when the right role comes along, we’ll be ready to make it count.
