CIO – Enterprise Platforms — Logistics Marketplace

The mandate

A deliberate change of pace is required to deal with regional platforms carrying duplicated cost and inconsistent controls within a multinational-owned technology-enabled mobility and transport platform. The immediate arena is the logistics marketplace during a driver-partner trust gap. For mandate 440, the successful executive inherits decisions that have been deferred, competing stakeholder expectations and a need to establish facts before committing further capital.

The CIO – Enterprise Platforms operating perimeter covers approximately S$5,600 million in gross bookings and fleet portfolio, with activity spanning several logistics marketplace customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The CIO – Enterprise Platforms Mobility remit carries direct influence over roughly 1,025 colleagues and third-party capacity.

The board and its investment committee want a CIO – Enterprise Platforms who can convert ambiguity into a short list of explicit choices for the logistics marketplace. The CIO – Enterprise Platforms Mobility seat must resolve a driver-partner trust gap, while preserving the underlying strengths of the logistics marketplace. For mandate 440, value will come through sharper allocation, stronger leaders and an operating cadence that exposes variance early.

The CIO – Enterprise Platforms’s first year on the logistics marketplace is expected to end with standard platforms, measurable adoption and lower run cost. In mandate 440, authority covers resources and leadership appointments; material trade-offs go directly to the board sponsor.

Why this seat is open

This is a planned replacement for the CIO – Enterprise Platforms — Logistics Marketplace seat. The incumbent continues to lead the logistics marketplace through an agreed succession period and will support a structured handover. The board has allowed 4–6 months to assess candidates, complete diligence and protect continuity while a driver-partner trust gap is addressed. The search is confidential so the transition can be communicated to employees, customers and partners in a controlled sequence.

What you will own

• Set the CIO – Enterprise Platforms value-creation thesis for the logistics marketplace, translate it into no more than five enterprise priorities and stop work that does not support them.
• Carry stewardship of approximately S$5,600 million in gross bookings and fleet portfolio, including allocation, risk acceptance and board forecasts.
• Lead the CIO – Enterprise Platforms Mobility organisation of about 1,025 employees and partners, appointing a team with clear decision rights and credible succession for every critical seat.
• Resolve the logistics marketplace economics and execution constraints created by a driver-partner trust gap, with CIO – Enterprise Platforms-approved owners, dated milestones and transparent escalation thresholds.
• Establish one CIO – Enterprise Platforms operating review across commercial, customer, financial, people, technology and risk outcomes for the logistics marketplace; remove reconciliations that obscure accountability.
• Have owned enterprise service, cyber, architecture and technology economics rather than a single application tower in mandate 440.
• Build the CIO – Enterprise Platforms’s three-year succession and capability plan for the logistics marketplace, reducing dependence on individual executives and improving mobility across the wider Mobility organisation.

The first 12 months

• Days 1–90: Validate the logistics marketplace baseline, meet the 30 stakeholders most consequential to regional platforms carrying duplicated cost and inconsistent controls, assess the leadership team, stabilise immediate delivery risks and agree a board-owned scorecard with explicit decision gates.
• Months 4–9: Make the principal CIO – Enterprise Platforms portfolio and organisation choices for the logistics marketplace, install the new operating cadence, fill critical leadership gaps and deliver the first measurable release of cash, capacity or customer value.
• Months 10–12: Demonstrate a repeatable logistics marketplace trend against standard platforms, measurable adoption and lower run cost, lock the following year’s capital and talent plan, evidence control sustainability and present a credible three-year value case with downside actions.

What the board will measure

• Delivery of the CIO – Enterprise Platforms’s agreed first-year logistics marketplace value case within a 10% tolerance, with variance explained before rather than after the relevant quarter closes.
• A CIO – Enterprise Platforms forecast that remains decision-useful across three consecutive quarters and reconciles the logistics marketplace’s operating, cash, customer and people assumptions.
• Closure of the CIO – Enterprise Platforms mandate’s highest-priority logistics marketplace risk and execution issues by their board-approved dates, with independent evidence that fixes are sustained.
• Retention of at least 90% of critical logistics marketplace talent and ready-now successors for at least 70% of the CIO – Enterprise Platforms’s direct reports.
• A quantified CIO – Enterprise Platforms-owned improvement in the logistics marketplace operating constraint behind a driver-partner trust gap, supported by a clean baseline and named data owner.
• Clear stakeholder confidence in mandate 440: no unresolved high-severity escalation older than 30 days and no material surprise withheld from its agreed governance forum.

The person

You are currently a CIO, Enterprise Applications Head or Regional Technology Director in a multinational-owned Mobility or adjacent enterprise. In relation to the logistics marketplace, your CIO – Enterprise Platforms track record includes a transition where the original plan was no longer sufficient; you can explain your choices, evidence and numerical impact. Candidates from mobility, logistics, automotive, travel technology or consumer platforms will be considered where the operating model, customer stakes and governance intensity match this CIO – Enterprise Platforms brief.

As a CIO – Enterprise Platforms candidate, you bring 22–28 years of progressive Mobility or adjacent-sector experience, consistent with the 22-28 experience band. At minimum, you have carried a P&L, book, budget or accountable portfolio of S$3,250 million and led an organisation of at least 725 people.

For mandate 440, the board wants two transitions: a difficult logistics marketplace portfolio choice and a leadership-system change during a driver-partner trust gap. As the prospective CIO – Enterprise Platforms for this logistics marketplace, you must challenge optimistic cases and still create followership. References for mandate 440 must distinguish your contribution from the institution around you.

The CIO – Enterprise Platforms must be based in Singapore; international relocation is supported, but this Mobility role is not designed as a remote appointment.

Non-negotiables

• Current or recent accountability at the level of CIO, Enterprise Applications Head or Regional Technology Director, with direct exposure to a board, investment committee or equivalent Mobility governance forum.
• Proven CIO – Enterprise Platforms ownership of at least S$3,250 million and leadership of no fewer than 725 employees in a comparable logistics marketplace context.
• One completed Mobility or adjacent-sector example of regional platforms carrying duplicated cost and inconsistent controls with outcomes sustained for at least two reporting periods after the initial intervention.
• Sector credibility from mobility, logistics, automotive, travel technology or consumer platforms; experience that is purely functional and lacks CIO – Enterprise Platforms-level logistics marketplace consequences will not meet the bar.
• Willingness to meet the Singapore location expectation, complete conflicts and background diligence, and protect the confidentiality of mandate 440.

Compensation and terms

The anticipated CIO – Enterprise Platforms package is S$500,000–680,000 base + annual incentive and LTI, calibrated to the final logistics marketplace scope and the candidate’s current mix.
