Issue of 2 November 2026This week's read
There are 1,093 open Operations roles across 433 companies in the rest of Asia-Pacific right now, and the typical role stays open 23 days. New postings in the last 30 days (328) were up 12% from the 30 days before (294). But look at the week-by-week picture: postings peaked at 89 in the week of 19 October and have since eased to 76, a drop of 15% from that high point. The month is up, but the most recent week is not the strongest one.
Hiring is spread thin. The top 8 employers, including Teleperformance (35 open roles), JPMorganChase (27), Coupang (23), Amartha (21) and Maersk (21), together hold only 17% of all open roles. That means no single company dominates this market, and a job seeker's odds are not tied to a handful of big names. One mover worth noting: JLL posted far fewer new roles than before, down 78% in the last 30 days, and now has just 2 open roles.
This is not an entry-level market. The median minimum experience asked is 5 years, and 18% of postings want 10 or more years. Only 61% of postings state a years requirement at all, so some employers leave it open, but when they do name a number it tends to be high. By title, 62% of roles are mid-level, 14% senior and 9% principal, while only 8% are junior.
Remote work is rare here: just 5% of open roles are remote, so plan on being near an office. On the skills side, AI and machine learning shows up in 10% of postings, Power BI in 9%, CRM in 7% and SQL in 6%. Formal certifications are asked for far less often, PMP appears in just 2% of postings. Process methods like root cause analysis (6%), Lean (5%) and Six Sigma (4%) come up more than named certifications.
What this means for you
Three things you can act on this week
- Look past the biggest names
The top 8 employers hold only 17% of open roles. Companies like Amartha, Bjakcareer, PWC and Lam Research also have real openings, so widen your search beyond the largest hirers.
- Be ready to show years of experience
The median ask is 5 years minimum, and 18% of postings want 10 or more. If you are early career, expect fewer matches: only 8% of roles are junior.
- Plan for on-site work
Only 5% of open Operations roles are remote. If location flexibility matters to you, check each listing closely before applying.
Momentum
New Operations roles each week
Last 30 days: 328 new roles, against 294 the 30 days before (+12%). Each week counts the same companies, and a role counts as new only in the week it was posted, so a careers site we start reading never shows up as growth.
